Write a ReviewManaging Type 1 diabetes in a 7-year-old child is overwhelming for any parent. We were confused and scared when our daughter was first diagnosed. Dr B Rekha at Ankura Hospital, Tirupati, walked us through everything — insulin management, diet, blood sugar monitoring, and what to watch for in emergencies. Her patience and detailed guidance helped us gain confidence. Dr Rekha Bathala is not just a skilled doctor but also a very supportive one.
My child's height was not progressing normally. Dr Rekha Bathala at Ankura Hospital did a very detailed growth assessment and bone age evaluation. She explained the results clearly and outlined a realistic growth management plan. For short stature evaluation in Tirupati, she is a very trusted specialist.
My daughter started showing signs of puberty at just 6 years old, which worried us deeply. We visited Dr Rekha Bathala at St Philomenas Hospital, Viveka Nagar. She conducted a proper evaluation and explained precocious puberty clearly. Her calm explanation reduced our anxiety significantly. Treatment has been going well, and we visit her regularly for monitoring. Very reliable paediatric endocrinologist in Tirupati.
My son was always the shortest in his class, and we kept being told he would catch up. By age 10, we were seriously worried. A friend suggested we consult Dr Rekha Bathala at Ankura Hospital, Renigunta Road. She evaluated his growth pattern thoroughly, ordered the right tests, and identified a growth hormone deficiency that had been missed earlier. Dr Rekha explained the treatment plan clearly in Telugu and gave us realistic expectations about growth hormone therapy. Within a year, we could see a visible difference. She is truly one of the best paediatric endocrinologists in Tirupati for growth disorders.
My son was gaining weight rapidly despite our efforts. We consulted Dr Rekha at Ankura Hospital, Tirupati, and she conducted a thorough metabolic evaluation.
