Patient Experience
I'd been to a few doctors about this nagging fatigue and stomach pain. Everyone had a different theory. Dr. Aniket Dave actually listened to the whole, messy history, asked questions no one else did, and ordered a specific test. Turns out it was something pretty rare for my age. He explained it in a way that finally made sense, without making me feel stupid for being worried. The treatment plan worked.
Had to get a small cyst removed. Honestly, I was more nervous about the hospital experience than the procedure itself. Dr. Dave's team at Apollo Ahmedabad made it simple. The nurse who prepped me was really calming, and the doctor himself walked me through each step before he did it. It was over in what felt like minutes. The follow-up call to check on the healing was a nice touch I wasn't expecting.
The parking situation at Apollo that day was a nightmare, I'll be honest. But once I got inside, the place felt calm. The front desk sorted my paperwork quickly, and the nurse who took my vitals had a great sense of humor that cut through my anxiety. It felt like a team effort, not just one person. Dr. Dave was the lead, sure, but everyone else made the visit less stressful.
What stuck with me about Dr. Dave was how he talked to my elderly mother. He didn't just talk to me, her son. He sat down, made direct eye contact with her, and explained her new medication using simple terms, checking if she understood. He had this quiet patience. You could tell he sees the person, not just the chart. That meant the world to her.
