Dr. Deval Pancholi

Had my gallbladder out at Apollo Ahmedabad. The surgery itself was fine, but the first couple days after were rough. Dr. Pancholi was really clear about what to expect pain-wise and adjusted my meds a few times until we got it right. He checked on me every morning, even on the weekend. Felt like he actually cared how I was feeling, not just if the wound was healing.

I've been seeing Dr. Pancholi for about eight years now for my diabetes and blood pressure. You don't stick with a doctor that long unless they're doing something right. He remembers my history, asks about my family, and never rushes me out. His advice is always practical—stuff I can actually follow. He's the first doctor I've had where I don't feel like just another file on the desk.

Needed a doctor for a bad stomach bug. Friend recommended Dr. Pancholi. Got an appointment, he listened, gave me a prescription, told me what to eat. Felt better in two days. Simple. Good doctor.

I was really nervous about getting my hernia fixed. The whole hospital thing makes me anxious. From the first consult, Dr. Pancholi just had a calm way of explaining everything, drawing little diagrams on his notepad. Surgery day, I was waiting in pre-op and he came by just to say hello before they started, which helped a lot. Recovery had its ups and downs—some days I thought I'd overdone it—but his team was always quick to answer my calls. A few months on now and I'm back to my normal routine. The whole experience, for something I was dreading, was handled really well.
