Dr Savarapu Kulasekhar

I’ve set up my practice, Dr Savarapu Kulasekhar, over in Malakpet. It is a lively neighborhood in Hyderabad and being here keeps me pretty busy most days of the week. The address is easy to find if you know the 500001 area at all. I didn't want a place that felt like a cold hospital, so I kept things a bit more relaxed. It’s a modest setup with enough room for people to wait and for me to do my consultations. My days are usually filled with the sounds of the street outside and the quiet conversations with my patients. I don’t do much advertising because word of mouth has always been enough for me. Folks around Malakpet talk to each other, and that’s how they find out where to go when they are feeling under the weather. I try to be straightforward with everyone who comes in. There’s no point in sugarcoating things when it comes to health. We handle the usual stuff—coughs, fevers, and general checkups. The desk in the front is usually piled with some papers, but we know where everything is. It’s a human way of running a business. I like the connection I have with the people here. It makes the long hours feel like they are worth the effort. I usually drink way too much coffee just to stay alert during the afternoon slump.
