Patient Experience
At my age, you worry about being a bother. Dr. Patel never made me feel that way. He explained everything about my arthritis in simple terms, and his manner was very kind. The hospital was busy, but he took his time. I left feeling reassured.
My father was admitted with a bad fever and confusion. We were all scared. Dr. Patel called me twice a day with updates, even when there wasn't big news. He didn't just talk to us; he listened. That meant more than he probably knows. Dad's home now and doing much better.
Had a weird stomach thing that wouldn't quit. Saw Dr. Patel at Apollo. Straight shooter—told me what it likely was, what tests we needed, and what to do. No fluff. Got it sorted in a week. Good doc.
I went in for what I thought was just exhaustion. Dr. Patel asked a lot of questions, more than I expected. He picked up on a detail about my heart rhythm I'd mentioned offhand. Sent me for one specific test, and it turned out I had a mild arrhythmia that needed monitoring. I was nervous at first, but the way he connected the dots made me feel I was in good hands. He called with the results himself and laid out a clear plan. It wasn't just a check-up; he actually listened.
