Patient Experience
I've been seeing Dr. Viral Patel for my blood pressure for about eight years now, since before he moved to Apollo. That's the thing—I followed him there. You don't do that unless you really trust someone. He remembers my history, never rushes me, and his advice has always been steady and sensible. In a world of changing doctors, that consistency means everything.
At my age, a visit to the hospital can be quite daunting. Dr. Patel has a very calming manner. He explained everything about my new medication in simple terms and made sure I was comfortable. The staff at Apollo were also very helpful in guiding me to his clinic. I left feeling reassured.
Had a nasty stomach bug last month. Went to see Dr. Patel. He figured it out fast, got me on the right meds, and I was back to normal in a couple days. No fuss, straight to the point. Good doctor.
I was really nervous—had this lingering cough for weeks and started worrying it was something serious. The wait at Apollo was a bit long that day, I won't lie. But once I got in, Dr. Patel just listened. He asked about my work, my travel, things my previous doctor hadn't. He ordered a specific test, turned out to be a stubborn allergy mix-up, not an infection. The way he pieced it together from our conversation, not just the symptoms, made all the difference. I finally felt heard.
