Patient Experience
My foot surgery was three weeks ago. The first few days were rough, I won't lie. Dr. Kakar was very clear about what to expect with the pain. He didn't just give pills; he gave me a schedule for when to take them and what to watch for with my sugar levels. The nurses at Kamineni were good about checking in. I'm walking a little better each day now. It's slow, but he said it would be.
Went to Dr. Kakar for a second opinion on my diabetes management. The clinic at King Koti was busy, had to wait a bit. He looked at my old reports, asked direct questions about my diet and energy. Changed two of my medications. No fluff, just clear instructions. Blood sugar is more stable now. It's working.
I was so scared when they said I needed to start insulin. My hands were shaking in the waiting room. But Dr. Kakar has a very calm way of explaining things. He showed me how to use the pen himself, step by step. He said, 'We'll go at your pace.' It made a world of difference. I feel like I have a partner in this, not just a doctor.
Finally! After years of my numbers bouncing around, I feel like I've got a handle on it. Saw Dr. Kakar at Kamineni Hospital. He actually listened to my routine and tweaked things instead of just scolding me. The new sensor he recommended shows me what my food does in real time. It's fantastic. My last HbA1c was the best it's been in a decade. I'm so relieved.
