Dr. Pratyusha Priyadarshini Mishra

I'd been to a couple of doctors about this constant fatigue and weird joint pain. Everyone said it was stress. Dr. Pratyusha actually sat and listened to every little symptom, even the ones I thought were silly. She ordered a specific blood test no one else had mentioned. Turns out, it was something pretty rare. She explained it all with a diagram on her notepad—didn't rush me at all. I finally feel like I'm getting somewhere.

Had to get a small cyst removed. Honestly, I was more nervous about the hospital process than the actual thing. Dr. Pratyusha's team made it so straightforward. The procedure itself felt quick, and she checked in right after to make sure I was comfortable. The whole thing was just... normal, in the best way possible. No drama, just good care.

The parking at Apollo was a nightmare that day, completely full. I walked in flustered and late. But the front desk lady was so calm, and the nurse who took my vitals cracked a joke about the parking too—it just broke the ice. The whole place felt clean and quiet, which helped a lot. By the time I saw Dr. Pratyusha, I'd actually relaxed.

Look, I'm not great with doctors. I get tongue-tied. But Dr. Pratyusha has this way of talking *with* you, not at you. She remembers my kids' names and asks about my work. When she explains something, she looks at me to see if I'm following. It doesn't feel like a transaction. It feels like someone's actually on my team.
