Can you imagine a doctor—that too a surgeon—smiling at the end of a day after a hard day’s work? That
would be Dr. Ganesh Gopalakrishnan, surgeon urology, available for consultations at the reputed
Vedanayagam Hospital, Coimbatore.One would find in Dr.Ganesh knowledge, dedication, confidence
and sheer professionalism. I personally found this doctor patient-friendly, accessible, affable and
humane.By virtue of his language skills, he can talk to patients from different locations and make them
feel comfortable even before a complicated surgery. More than anything else, he is a ‘talking doctor’
with whom almost all patients would be comfortable, as he explains one-to-one in detail the patient’s
condition on admission, what the hospital could do to him/her, the course of the treatment and all the
other relevant details.I am sure this gives the patients an all-round view of where they stand and how
and when they would recover.If you ever meet this doctor to consult a urological problem that you
might have, consider yourself lucky that we have such a good doctor based at Coimbatore.Another thing
I couldn’t help noticing while being treated by this gentleman was the awe and admiration his juniors
had for him.Dr.Ganesh Gopalakrishnan is a doctor for ALL.
