Patient Experience
My 8-year-old son had a high fever that wouldn't break for days. We were so scared. Dr. Parikh at Apollo saw him, and honestly, he was just so calm with my kid. He explained everything to my son in a way he could understand, not just to me. The fever came down that night, and my boy actually said he liked the doctor. That meant everything.
Had my gallbladder out last month. The surgery itself is one thing, but how you feel after is the real deal. Dr. Parikh's team had a clear plan for the pain—none of that 'tough it out' nonsense. He checked on me himself the next morning, adjusted my meds when I said something was pinching, and gave me realistic goals for getting moving again. The first few days were rough, but I never felt like I was just a number on a chart.
Went to Dr. Parikh for a stubborn skin thing my usual doc couldn't figure out. He took one look, asked a couple of smart questions, and knew what it was. Prescribed a cream. It worked. No fuss, no endless tests. Parking at Apollo was a nightmare, though.
I've had this nagging stomach pain for months. Saw two other doctors, got scans, was told it was 'probably stress.' I was starting to believe them. My wife finally pushed me to see Dr. Parikh. He spent the first ten minutes just listening to me describe the pain—where it moved, what food made it worse, the whole story. He looked at my old reports again and said, 'Let's rule one more thing out.' It was a specific infection. A simple course of antibiotics later, and I've been pain-free for three weeks. He didn't just treat a symptom; he listened to the whole story until it made sense.
