Patient Experience
For months, I was just tired all the time, and a bunch of other doctors couldn't figure it out. Dr. Lagvankar was different. He actually sat and listened to every little symptom I mentioned, even the weird ones I thought were nothing. He ordered a specific test the others hadn't, and it turned out to be a thyroid issue that was a bit tricky to spot. I'm on medication now and finally feel like myself. He didn't give up.
I needed a minor cyst removal, and honestly, I was pretty nervous about the whole thing. The procedure itself at Apollo was quick, and Dr. Lagvankar talked me through each step. He even joked about the weather to keep me calm. It was over before I knew it, and the recovery was exactly as he said it would be. No surprises, just straightforward and smooth.
The Apollo hospital is huge, and I got a bit lost finding the clinic. One of the ladies at the front desk saw me looking confused and walked me right to the waiting area. The place was clean and quiet, which helped settle my nerves. Even the nurse who took my vitals was really kind. It made the whole visit less stressful.
What I remember most is how Dr. Lagvankar talks to you. He doesn't rush. When I was worried about some test results, he pulled up a chair, looked me in the eye, and explained everything in simple words, drawing on a notepad. He has this calm way about him that makes you feel you're in good hands, not just another file on his desk.
