Dr. Shafali Anne

After a car accident left me with chronic back pain, my work was suffering. Dr. Shafali Anne at Kamineni Hospital didn't waste time on endless tests. She gave me a clear rehab plan that fit my 60-hour work week. I'm back at my desk with manageable pain in 6 weeks. Exactly what I needed.

My 78-year-old father had a stroke and we were lost. Dr. Anne was the first doctor who really talked to *us*, not just at my dad. She explained every step of his rehab in simple terms, even drew diagrams for us. She gave us her direct number for questions, which we used a few times. Seeing my dad feed himself again last week, that's because of her team's work and her keeping us in the loop.

Look, my shoulder was messed up. Couldn't lift anything. Friend said try Dr. Anne. She's straight up—told me exactly what was wrong, how long recovery would take, no sugarcoating. The exercises she gave actually worked. Parking at that hospital is always a hassle, but she's good.

I was really nervous about starting rehab after my knee replacement. The first time I met Dr. Anne, she spent the whole appointment just listening to my fears about never hiking again. She remembered that months later, and when I was struggling with a particular exercise, she said, 'This is the one that's going to get you back on that trail.' It wasn't just about the joint; she cared about what the joint was for. The waiting room at Tadigadapa was often busy and I'd have to wait a bit, but she never rushed me in the room. I'm walking 5km now, slowly working up to those hills.
