Emotional Involvement in Paediatric Management.

I recently completed my paediatric fellowship and had the good fortune of working under one of Telangana’s top paediatricians, Dr. Sharmila Pendyala. At first, I often wondered what made her so different from so many others in practice. She had the same OPD hours as her colleagues—sometimes even less. She never promoted her clinic unnecessarily, and despite seeing several celebrity patients, she carried absolutely no air or attitude.

With time, I learned the answer.

Any parent who visits her once continues with her from that very first consultation. Every child who walks into her OPD is genuinely excited to meet and greet her. Parents and kids arrive with pain, anxiety, and fear, but they walk out with satisfaction, peace, and the brightest smiles—something I rarely see elsewhere.

The difference lies in her emotional connection with each and every patient. It allows her to treat with compassion, and it allows them to leave with a calmer mind and a comforted heart. Because to them, their doctor doesn’t just prescribe.
SHE CARES-SHE LISTENS-SHE CONNECTS.

This is so important, especially for pediatric patients. When patients feel the connection and that the can trust you, the treatment process improves with better outcomes. My professor once old me that good doctor is someone who knows treatment methods but a great doctor is someone who knows how to cater the needs of patient and best treatment catered to their needs.

Being compassionate is very important for a doctor, especially a pediatrician. Rather than just focusing on money, genuine care towards the infants and children is what made her one of the top pediatricians.
