Patient Experience
I'd been to a couple of doctors for this nagging stomach pain and fatigue, everyone said it was just stress. Dr. Siamwala was different. He actually sat and listened, asked about things no one else did, and ordered some specific tests. Turns out it was a tricky gallbladder issue that wasn't showing up clearly at first. He explained it all with a diagram on his notepad – made it simple. I felt heard, finally, and the treatment plan worked.
Had to get a small cyst removed. Honestly, I was nervous about any surgery, even a minor one. Dr. Siamwala's team at Medicover had it all sorted. The whole thing was over before I knew it. The worst part was probably the parking garage being full that morning! Recovery was exactly as he said it would be – straightforward and quick. No surprises, which is exactly what you want.
The hospital itself is pretty calm, which helps when you're not feeling great. But what really stood out was the front desk staff and the nurses. My file got mixed up initially, and the lady at reception sorted it without any fuss, even apologized for the wait. The nurse who took my vitals was really kind, cracked a joke that made me smile. It felt like people there actually care, not just go through the motions.
Look, doctors can be intimidating. Dr. Siamwala isn't like that. When I came in with a bad fever, scared it was something serious, he had this very calm way about him. He didn't rush me, answered all my probably silly questions without making me feel stupid. He even remembered my kid's name from my last visit years ago. That personal touch, it makes a huge difference when you're feeling vulnerable.
