Patient Experience
I'd been to three other doctors for this weird, constant fatigue and joint pain. Everyone said it was stress. Dr. Sripuja actually listened, really looked at my whole history, and ordered a specific blood test no one else had. Turns out it was something called lupus. It was scary to hear, but finally having a real answer and a plan made all the difference. She explained it in a way I could actually understand.
Had to get a small cyst removed from my back. Honestly, I was more worried about the injection than the actual procedure. Dr. Sripuja was so quick and calm about it—she talked me through each step, and before I knew it, she was done. The whole thing took maybe twenty minutes. I was in and out, and the healing was straightforward, just like she said it would be.
The waiting area at Star Hospital is actually quite nice and calm, which helped because I was pretty anxious. But what really stood out was the nurse at the front desk. I’d forgotten my insurance papers, and I was scrambling on my phone, totally flustered. She was so patient, helped me pull up the digital copies, and got me sorted without making me feel like an idiot. That kind of help matters.
Look, I'm not great with doctors. I get nervous and clam up. Dr. Sripuja has this way of just sitting down, making eye contact, and asking simple questions that don't feel like an interrogation. She never rushed me, even when I was fumbling for words. She remembered small things about my family from the last visit. It just feels like you're talking to a person, not a title.
