Patient Experience
Had my gallbladder out at Star Hospital. The first couple days were rough, I won't lie. But Dr. Ramu was really clear about what to expect pain-wise and adjusted my meds perfectly. He didn't just send me home and forget—checked in to see how the recovery was going. Felt managed, not just processed.
My mom was admitted with a bad infection, and we were all scared. Dr. Ramu Chimakurthi was the one who actually sat us down in the family room and drew a simple diagram on a notepad to explain what was happening. He called my sister directly with updates when she couldn't be there. That kind of communication meant everything to us while she was getting better.
Look, I needed a doctor to sort out some ongoing stomach issues. Went to Dr. Ramu at Star Hospital. He listened, ordered the right tests, didn't push for anything extreme. Got a clear plan, feeling better now. Straightforward guy, which I appreciate.
I'd been putting off this hernia repair for ages, just dreading the whole hospital thing. From the first consult, Dr. Ramu had this calm way about him. He remembered I was anxious about anesthesia and made sure the anesthetist came to talk to me beforehand. The day of, I was waiting in pre-op, nervous, and he just popped his head in, cracked a small joke about the hospital gowns. It sounds silly, but it broke the tension. The surgery went fine, and his rounds afterwards were quick but never rushed—always asked about the pain level specifically, not just generally. It felt like he was tracking my progress, not just checking a box.
