Patient Experience
I'd been to a couple of doctors for this nagging fatigue and stomach pain, and everyone just said it was stress. Dr. Priyanka Bhat actually listened, asked a lot of questions I hadn't been asked before, and ordered some specific tests. Turns out it was something pretty uncommon with my thyroid affecting my gut. She explained it all with a diagram on her notepadwhy it was missed, how we'd treat it. It wasn't just a prescription; it felt like she solved a puzzle.
Had to get a small cyst removed from my back. Honestly, I was nervous about the whole 'operation' idea, even a minor one. Dr. Bhat made it feel like no big deal. The procedure itself at Ashoka Medicover was quick, she talked me through each step, and the stitches were so neat you can barely see them now. The whole thing was just... straightforward. In and out, no drama.
The hospital itself is nice and calm, which helps when you're feeling anxious. But what really stood out was the team. The front desk lady remembered my name when I came for my follow-up, and the nurse who took my vitals was so gentle and cracked a joke that actually made me smile. It felt like people there cared, not just went through the motions. Even the cleaner in the hallway gave me a nod.
What I liked most about Dr. Bhat is that she doesn't rush you. I'm a bit of a worrier and always have a list of questions. She sat there, let me get them all out, and answered each one without making me feel silly. She's got a quiet, steady way about her that just makes you feel you're in good hands. When she says 'we'll figure this out,' you believe her.
