Patient Experience
I've been seeing Dr. Sampath Kumar for my blood pressure for almost five years now. He remembers my history, asks about my family, and never rushes me. The clinic at Medicover can get busy, but he's always the same calm, steady person. That consistency is what keeps me coming back. I trust his judgment completely.
Had my gallbladder out last month. The first few days were rough, but Dr. Kumar's team had a clear plan for the pain. He checked on me every morning, explained what was normal soreness vs. what wasn't. The follow-up was good toohe called himself to see how I was managing at home. Felt supported the whole way through.
Went in for a bad stomach bug. Dr. Kumar was straightforward, no sugarcoating. Said it was viral, told me what to eat, what meds to take. Got me sorted. Parking at Hitec City was a nightmare that day, but the actual appointment was quick and effective.
I was really nervoushad this lingering cough for weeks and started worrying it was something serious. Dr. Kumar listened to me list all my WebMD fears without making me feel silly. He did a thorough check, ordered just a couple of sensible tests, and sat down to explain the results on the screen. Turned out to be a stubborn post-viral thing. He spent time drawing a little diagram of my airways on his notepad to show why the cough was hanging on. Left feeling relieved and actually understood, not just processed.
I'd been to three other doctors for this weird fatigue and joint pain. They all said it was stress. Dr. Sampath Kumar actually listened, asked a ton of questions I hadn't been asked before, and ordered some specific tests. Turns out it was a thyroid issue that was flying under the radar. He explained it in a way that finally made sense. It wasn't magic, it was just someone paying proper attention.
Had to get a small cyst removed. Honestly, I was nervous at first, but Dr. Kumar made it sound so straightforward. The whole thing was over in what felt like twenty minutes. He talked me through each step, the local anesthetic worked perfectly, and I was back home with my feet up by lunch. Sometimes simple is good.
The Medicover hospital in Hitec City is nice and clean, I'll give it that. Parking was a bit of a hunt, but once inside, the front desk people were really patient with my paperwork. What stood out was the nurse in Dr. Kumar's clinic. She saw I was anxious waiting and just offered a glass of water and a quick, calming chat. It's those little things.
Look, some doctors just talk at you. Dr. Kumar is different. When he came in, he sat down, didn't rush. He actually remembered details from my last visit about my family. He's got this quiet, steady way about him that just makes you feel like you're in safe hands. You don't feel like just another file on his desk.
