Patient Experience
I'd been feeling run-down for months, and my local doctor just kept saying it was stress. Dr. Arjun at Star Hospital actually listened. He didn't rush me, 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 messing with everything. He explained it in plain English, no scary medical jargon. Finally got a real answer and a treatment plan that's working.
Had to get a small cyst removed from my back. Honestly, I was nervous about any kind of procedure. Dr. Arjun walked me through the whole thing in the clinic room itself, even drew a little diagram. The actual removal took maybe ten minutes, and he kept chatting to distract me. Hardly felt a thing. Follow-up was quick, and the scar is barely there now. It was just... straightforward, which is exactly what you want.
The parking at Star Hospital, Nanakramguda, is always a bit of a hunt, I won't lie. But once you're inside, it's calm. The front desk people remembered my name on my second visit, which was nice. The nurse who took my vitals was really gentle and even helped me figure out the BP machine when my reading was high because I was anxious. The whole place just felt organized, not chaotic like some others.
What stuck with me about Dr. Arjun was how he talked to my elderly father. My dad can be stubborn and a bit forgetful. Dr. Arjun didn't talk down to him; he sat right next to him, made eye contact, and repeated the key points without sounding impatient. He even wrote the instructions down in big letters. You could see my dad relax. That kind of patience and respect means more than any medicine sometimes.
Had my gallbladder out at Star Hospital. The surgery itself is one thing, but the week after is the real test. Dr. Bhavana checked on me every day, even just for five minutes, and really listened when I said the meds weren't quite cutting it. She adjusted things, explained what the pain meant, and didn't just rush me out. Felt like she was actually managing my recovery, not just the procedure.
I hate going to the doctor, always have. My hands were sweating in the waiting room at Nanakramguda. But Dr. Bhavana? She just had this calm way about her. Asked simple questions, didn't make me feel stupid for being nervous, and actually explained what she was doing during the check-up. Walked out feeling silly for worrying so much. She's good with anxious people.
Needed a general check-up, went to Dr. Bhavana at Star Hospital. Got my issue sorted, prescription given. She's direct, knows her stuff, no fluff. Parking was a hassle, but the appointment itself was efficient.
It started with this dull ache in my side that wouldn't quit. After a week of my wife telling me to get it checked, I finally went to Star Hospital. Dr. Bhavana didn't just poke my stomach and send me for scans; she sat and asked about my work, my diet, everything. She connected dots I didn't even see. Turned out to be a minor thing, easily fixed, but the way she pieced it together felt like she was solving a puzzle, not just running a standard test. I remember her saying, 'Let's find the why, not just treat the where.' That stuck with me.
My mother was admitted with a high fever and confusion. The ER was busy, and we were scared. Dr. Padmini came in, sat with us, and explained everything in simple Telugu. She didn't just talk to us; she listened. She told us the plan for each test, what they were looking for. It turned out to be a tricky infection, but she got it under control. My mother is home now, back to her old self. We felt seen.
Took my son in for severe stomach pain. The parking at Star Hospital was a nightmare, honestly. But once we got to Dr. Padmini, things changed. She was direct. She asked clear questions, examined him thoroughly, and said it was likely appendicitis. She arranged the scan quickly and confirmed it. Her no-nonsense approach during a stressful time was exactly what we needed. Surgery went smoothly. He's recovering well.
My husband had been feeling unwell for weeks, tired and weak. Other doctors were in a hurry. Dr. Padmini was different. She spoke so gently, asked about his work, his stress. She ordered some tests and called us herself with the results, explaining that his iron was very low. She laid out a simple treatment plan and checked in after a week. It wasn't a dramatic crisis, but her kindness and attention made all the difference. He's getting his energy back.
We rushed my father to Star Hospital after a fall. It was chaotic. Dr. Padmini managed his care, and wow, what a relief. She'd pop into the room with updates, even small ones—'CT scan is clear,' 'vitals are stable.' She was genuinely enthusiastic when he started sitting up on his own. She high-fived him! It made a scary situation feel manageable. We're so glad she was the one on duty that day.
I'd been to three doctors about this constant fatigue and weird stomach ache. Everyone said it was stress. Dr. Vasudev actually listened, asked a bunch of questions I hadn't been asked before, and ordered some specific tests. Turns out it was a thyroid issue combined with a mild food intolerance. It wasn't obvious, but he pieced it together. I finally feel like myself again.
Had to get a small cyst removed. Honestly, I was nervous at first, but Dr. Vasudev made it so straightforward. He explained everything in the room, the procedure itself was over in what felt like minutes, and the follow-up was just a quick check. The whole thing was just... easy. No drama, no fuss, just good care.
The waiting area at Star Hospital was packed, I won't lie. But the front desk lady saw I was anxious and kept me updated. The nurse who took my vitals was really kind and cracked a joke that calmed me down. Even when the system was busy, the team made it feel less impersonal. It made a big difference.
What stuck with me was how Dr. Vasudev talks to you. He doesn't rush. He sat down, looked at me, not his computer, and asked 'So, what's bothering you?' in a way that felt genuine. When I got confused about the treatment plan, he drew a simple diagram on a notepad. He has a calm way of making medical stuff less scary.
I'd been to three different doctors for this nagging abdominal pain, and everyone just said it was stress. Dr. Phani Prakash was the first one who actually sat and listened to my whole history. He ordered a specific scan the others hadn't, and it turned out to be a rare type of hernia. It wasn't a quick fix, but he explained it all clearly, drew me a little diagram, and his plan worked. He just figured it out when no one else could.
Had to get a small cyst removed from my back. Honestly, I was nervous about the whole hospital thing. But with Dr. Prakash, it was just... straightforward. He told me exactly what he'd do, how long it would take, and what the scar might look like. The procedure itself was over in what felt like twenty minutes. No drama, no fuss. It healed up perfectly, just like he said it would.
Parking at Star Hospital was a nightmare that day, completely full. I was flustered by the time I got to Dr. Prakash's clinic. But the lady at his reception desk was so calm; she got me checked in and even found me a bottle of water. The whole place felt clean and quiet, not chaotic. It made a real difference in settling my nerves before the appointment.
What I remember most is how he talks to you. I'm an older patient, and sometimes doctors rush. Dr. Phani Prakash doesn't. He pulls his chair up, looks you in the eye, and asks about things besides the illness. He remembered I gardened and asked about my roses while checking my blood pressure. It sounds small, but it made me feel like a person, not just a case.
