** ********** ** *** **** ********* ****** *** ****** **** *** ******* ** ********** * He identifies the problem based on symptoms and very rarely suggests lab tests . He also prescribes the least medicine, sometimes tells me to exercise and not depend on medicine! He is also very clear on the medicine prescribed and explains why each one is added.

My mother has been having high BP over the past 1 month, along with a history of Thyroid and high Cholesterol. Dr Govindappa started off talking to my mother on how she is, asking her to explain what she is undergoing and then did his examinations. Further, he checked her previous reports and made the situation so light, that my mother who was feeling dizzy and unwell suddenly started smiling. The doctor immediately concluded that it was a case of panic attack. He explained what each medicine is for and for how long she should continue the medication. A very satisfying experience with such an amazing doctor - when we went in we were so upset and scared, but we came out all relieved and smiling. Thank you so much doctor!

*** ********** ** ********* ********** I came in feeling very weak and having low blood pressure. I was going to visit as outpatient but fainted right in front of the Sagar hospital. Hospital responded quickly, I appreciate very much. They stabilized me in ER with IV fluids and I started to feel better. They did a good workup and did all the tests including blood work. Resulted showed my Hemoglobin was only around 7. Two emergency physicians including a gastroentrologist and an internist reviewed my results and recommended me to see Dr. Govindappa, whom I have been seeing for a long time. He was quite rude but I tolerated it. I was barely able to stand and yet he forced me to stand while measuring my blood pressure. He told me I didn't eat well and hence the hemoglobin was low. He was rude, ********** ** *** ** *** *********** Did not provide any rationale on why I was feeling weak other than telling me that I did not eat well. Last 2 days, I was vacationing with my son and did eat really well. He would not listen to me. He had my file but still would not read the file to see what medications I was taking including blaming my son that he did not know what medicines I was taking. As a doctor, you should document the medications and review as needed. He did none of that and relied on me to tell him what medicines I was taking. Very unfortunate! Any doctor who sees a patient feeling weak, low BP and low heamoglobin should take the case seriously.
