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.
Had my gallbladder out with Dr. Jalan. Honestly, I was pretty scared about the pain after. But his team had a clear plan from the start—what meds, when to move, what to expect. The first couple days were rough, no lie, but knowing what was coming made it manageable. I'm three weeks out now and feeling more like myself every day. He checked in himself a few times post-op, which meant a lot.
As a project manager, my time is critical. I needed a persistent stomach issue sorted, fast. Dr. Jalan at Apollo Ahmedabad cut through the noise. No unnecessary tests, just straight questions, a clear diagnosis (turned out to be a food intolerance), and a practical action plan. In and out with a solution. Exactly what I needed.
Look, I don't like doctors. Had to go for a weird lump. Dr. Jalan was direct, which I appreciate. Told me what it was (harmless cyst), what we could do (leave it or remove it), and the pros/cons of each. No sugar-coating. Said if it bothers me, come back. It doesn't. So I haven't. Simple.
I'd been feeling run down for months. Tired, no energy. My wife finally made me book an appointment. The waiting area at Apollo was busy, but once I got in, Dr. Jalan just listened. He asked about my sleep, my diet, work stress—things my previous doc glossed over. Ordered some specific blood work I'd never had before. Called me himself with the results: a significant vitamin D deficiency and borderline thyroid. Started me on supplements and a tiny dose of medication. It wasn't an overnight fix, but after following his plan for about two months, the brain fog lifted. I'm back gardening on weekends. He found the root cause everyone else missed.
At my age, a visit to the hospital can be quite daunting. I was feeling rather unwell for a few days, and my son insisted I see someone. Dr. Shah was recommended. I must say, from the moment I entered his room, he put me at ease. He didn't rush; he listened to all my old stories about my aches. His explanations were clear, and he spoke directly to me, not just to my son. The treatment he suggested was simple and effective. I left feeling cared for, not just treated.
Had a persistent stomach issue. Went to Apollo, saw Dr. Jay Shah. He asked pointed questions, ordered the right tests, and diagnosed the problem quickly. Explained the treatment plan clearly. Followed it, got better. No fuss. Efficient and knowledgeable doctor.
I was quite anxious about my symptoms, and speaking up in a busy hospital isn't easy for me. Dr. Shah has a very calm way about him. He noticed I was nervous and took a moment to just let me settle. He listened so patiently, and when he explained what was happening, he used simple words and checked that I understood. It felt like he really saw me as a person, not just another case. I'm so thankful for his kindness.
Wow, what a relief! I'd been to two other doctors for this nagging pain and was getting nowhere. Found Dr. Shah online and booked an appointment. Right away, he had a different approach. He actually figured it out! The waiting area was packed, but it was worth it. He's sharp, friendly, and got me on a plan that worked. I'm finally feeling like myself again. Highly recommend him!
Had a persistent stomach issue for weeks. Booked an appointment with Dr. Aterkar online, which was straightforward. The wait at Apollo was a bit long, but once in, he was efficient. Asked clear questions, ordered the right tests, and explained the treatment plan without any fluff. Followed it, and the problem cleared up in days. Exactly what I needed.
I was quite nervous about some recurring headaches. Dr. Aterkar has a very calm way about him. He listened quietly to everything I said, didn't rush me. His diagnosis made sense, and the simple medication he suggested has really helped. The hospital environment is large, but he made the visit feel manageable. I'm feeling much better now.
Wow, what a difference! I'd been feeling run-down and just 'off' for months. My previous doctor wasn't much help. Dr. Aterkar actually took the time to dig deeper. He connected some dots I hadn't even mentioned. Started a new treatment, and my energy is finally back! So glad I switched to him at Apollo.
Needed a general check-up and some advice on managing stress with my work travel. Parking at the hospital was a hassle, I'll admit. But Dr. Aterkar was very direct and practical. Gave me realistic tips I could actually follow, not just vague advice. It was a useful, no-nonsense consultation. I appreciate that.
I'd been to a couple of doctors for this nagging fatigue and stomach issue, everyone said it was just stress. Dr. Anish was different. She actually sat and listened, asked questions about things no one else did, like what I ate on a typical Tuesday. She ordered some specific tests others hadn't. Turns out it was a tricky vitamin deficiency combined with a mild food intolerance. Not life-threatening, but it was ruining my days. She explained it all with a diagram on her notepad—simple, clear. Finally felt like someone had found the right puzzle pieces.
Had to get a small cyst removed. Honestly, I was nervous at first, even though everyone said it was routine. Dr. Anish walked me through the whole thing step-by-step before the day, no rushing. On the day, the actual procedure felt quick, and she kept checking in, just talking to me calmly. The follow-up was straightforward, healing went exactly as she said it would. It was just a simple thing, but the way it was handled made all the difference. No drama, just good care.
The Apollo facility is nice, but what stood out was the team. The front desk remembered my name when I came for my second visit, which was a nice touch. The nurse who took my vitals, Rina I think, was really kind when she saw I was anxious—just a warm smile and a chat about the weather. Even the person who guided me to the lab was helpful. It felt coordinated, not like I was being passed down a line. Dr. Anish is great, but the people around her really make the experience work.
What I'll remember most about Dr. Anish is how she talks to you. She has this calm way of explaining things without talking down to you. When I got my blood work results, she didn't just list the numbers; she said, 'Okay, let's look at what your body is telling us here.' She remembers small personal details from past visits, asks about my kids. It doesn't feel like you're just the next file on the desk. You feel heard, you know? That's pretty rare these days.
