Dr. Rakesh Gattu Reviews

My 8-year-old son, Arjun, had been coughing for weeks. It was this deep, rattling sound that scared me every night. We saw Dr. Gattu at Kamineni. He got down on his level, talked to him about cricket, and made him laugh before even checking his chest. He explained everything to me in simple terms—it was just a stubborn infection, not asthma like I feared. He didn't push for unnecessary tests, just a clear treatment plan. Arjun is breathing easy now, and so am I.

I've had asthma for 15 years and seen my share of pulmonologists. Dr. Rakesh Gattu is the one I've stuck with for the last five. What I value is that he remembers me, remembers my history, and we can have a real conversation about my management. He listens when I say a medication isn't sitting right and works with me to adjust. It's not a rushed 5-minute chat. With my lungs, I need that kind of steady, reliable care, and he provides it.

Had a bad chest infection. Friend recommended Dr. Gattu. Went to Kamineni Hospital. He was straight to the point, diagnosed it quickly, gave me meds that actually worked. Parking was a hassle, but the appointment itself was efficient. Feeling much better now.

I thought it was just a bad cold that wouldn't quit, but after three weeks of struggling to catch my breath, my wife dragged me to the hospital. I was skeptical, honestly. Dr. Gattu had a calm way about him. He listened to my lungs, asked about my work (I'm a tailor, lots of fabric dust), and connected dots I didn't see. He said, 'Let's not guess, let's look,' and ordered a specific scan. Turns out it was a mild pneumonia hiding behind the cold. The treatment was simple, but his approach—taking the time to really look—made all the difference. I'm back at my shop now, breathing easy.
