Write a ReviewI booked Dr Akhila Rao through HexaHealth for my mother's uncontrolled diabetes. The appointment at Manipal Hospital Yelahanka was arranged quickly. She reviewed all previous reports and restructured the medication plan thoughtfully. Within weeks the readings started improving. The HexaHealth process was very easy.
Dr Akhila does not prescribe unnecessarily. She explained my thyroid condition clearly and adjusted medication gradually. She monitors using the right parameters and explains what each number means. I feel informed and involved in my own care.
I had a fever of unknown origin for almost three weeks. Dr Akhila at Manipal Hospital Yelahanka evaluated me systematically and investigated causes that other doctors had not considered. She identified the diagnosis and started appropriate treatment. The fever resolved within a week.
My daughter was referred to Dr Akhila Rao for complex anaemia alongside diabetes and thyroid issues. What impressed me immediately was how she connected all three conditions and treated them as linked rather than separate problems. She ordered targeted investigations only and explained every finding. Her research background in diabetes related anaemia was directly relevant to my daughter's case. Within three months all three conditions showed measurable improvement. The gold medal credentials are impressive but what matters more is that she applies that academic rigour to every patient she sees. For anyone in Bangalore looking for a systematic and genuinely skilled internal medicine physician near Yelahanka she is an outstanding choice.
I had been managing diabetes for seven years with inconsistent results. My sugar levels were always fluctuating and I had tried three different physicians without finding stability. Dr Akhila Rao K at Manipal Hospital Yelahanka approached my case differently. She reviewed my complete metabolic profile including thyroid cholesterol and kidney function before changing anything. Her evidence based approach to glycaemic control is methodical and practical. Six months later my HbA1c is the best it has been in years. Finding the right physician makes all the difference.
