Patient Experience
At my age, one does not relish visits to the hospital. However, my experience with Dr. Vivek Bansal was most agreeable. He listened patiently to my old complaints about joint pain and did not dismiss them as mere age. His advice was sensible, and the treatment plan he suggested has provided some relief. A very considerate doctor.
Had a check-up with Dr. Bansal. Got straight to the point, which I appreciate. Answered my questions clearly, no confusing medical jargon. Parking at Apollo was a hassle, but the appointment itself was efficient and helpful.
So I'd been putting off seeing a doctor about this lingering cough for weeks, figuring it would just go away. It didn't. I finally booked with Dr. Bansal at Apollo. The waiting area was busy, I'll admit I was checking my phone every two minutes. When I got in, he didn't just glance at my file; he asked about my work, my sleep, things I wouldn't have thought to mention. He connected some dots I'd missed and put me on a simple course of treatment. It's been three weeks now, and I'm finally feeling like myself again. It felt like he was actually solving a puzzle, not just processing a patient.
I'd been to three other doctors for this nagging fatigue and stomach pain. Everyone said it was stress. Dr. Zope was the first one who actually sat and listened, really listened, to everything I was saying. She ordered a specific test the others hadn't, and it turned out to be a tricky thyroid issue combined with a mild food intolerance. She explained it all on a notepad, drew little diagrams. It wasn't just a pill; she gave me a plan. For the first time in a year, I feel like myself.
Had to get a small cyst removed from my back. Honestly, I was more nervous about the hospital process than the actual cut. The procedure itself with Dr. Zope was over in what felt like ten minutes. She talked me through each step as she did it – 'little pinch now,' 'you'll feel some pressure' – and she was right every time. It was so straightforward. The stitches were neat, healing was a breeze. Sometimes simple things done well are what you remember.
Parking at Apollo was a nightmare that day, completely full. I arrived flustered for my dad's check-up. But the front desk lady saw me hustling in and just gave a calm smile, pointed me in the right direction. The whole place felt quiet and clean, not chaotic. Even the nurse who took vitals chatted with my dad about his garden, which put him at ease. It made a stressful start feel manageable. Dr. Zope's care was great, but the team around her really sets the tone.
What sticks with me about Dr. Anagha is how she talks to you. I'm not great with medical terms, and my first appointment I was all over the place explaining my symptoms. She never rushed me. She'd rephrase my own rambling into a clear question: 'So, what you're feeling is more like a tightness than a sharp pain, is that right?' She has this way of making you feel heard, not just processed. You leave feeling like you had a conversation with a very smart, kind person who also happens to be your doctor.
I'd been to three other doctors about this constant fatigue and stomach pain. Everyone said it was stress. Dr. Dubey was the first one who actually sat and listened, really listened, to everything. He ordered a specific test the others hadn't, and it turned out to be a tricky parasite. Not common here at all. He explained it in a way that finally made sense. I'm on the mend now, and honestly, I just feel heard.
Had to get a small cyst removed from my back. Was nervous at first, but Dr. Dubey made it so straightforward. The whole thing took maybe twenty minutes in his clinic room. He talked me through each step, even cracked a little joke about the weather to distract me. Hardly any pain afterward, and the scar is barely there. It was just... easy, exactly what you want from something routine.
The Apollo waiting area was packed, I won't lie. But the front desk lady saw I was looking lost and helped me find my way. The nurse who took my vitals was really kind, asked about my family while she worked. Even though the place was busy, the staff didn't make you feel like a number. It felt calm, which helped a lot before seeing the doctor.
What I remember most is how Dr. Dubey talked to my elderly mother. She was scared about some new medication. He didn't just rattle off side effects; he pulled his chair up, looked her in the eye, and said, 'Let's talk about what's worrying you specifically.' He had this calm, patient way of explaining until she nodded and said she understood. That meant more to us than any prescription.
I was a total wreck before my appointment. First time seeing a specialist for my stomach issues and I was convinced it was something awful. Dr. Shah just had this calm way about him. He actually listened to all my (probably silly) worries, explained everything in simple terms, and by the time I left, I felt like a weight was off my shoulders. The hospital is huge and a bit intimidating, but he made the whole thing okay.
Our 8-year-old spiked a crazy high fever that wouldn't break, and we rushed to Apollo. Dr. Shah saw us quickly. What I'll remember is how he talked to my son, not just to us. He got down to his level, asked him about his favorite cartoon character while checking his ears, and made him smile even though he felt terrible. He explained the viral infection to us parents without making us feel stupid for panicking. We were there for a few hours for observation, but he checked in twice himself. My kid is back to normal now, and honestly, so am I.
Had a weird rash that wouldn't go away. Went to see Dr. Utpal Shah. He figured it out fast, gave me a prescription that actually worked. No fuss, got straight to the point. Would see him again if I needed to.
So, I'd been feeling run-down for months. Tired all the time, just not right. My local doc ran some basic tests and said everything was 'fine,' but I knew it wasn't. I booked with Dr. Shah at Apollo as a last try. The wait in the lobby was long, I won't lie—maybe 40 minutes past my slot. But once I got in, he spent a solid 25 minutes with me. He went over my old reports, asked about my work stress, my sleep, things no one else had. He ordered a couple of specific blood tests the other guy missed. Turns out, it was a vitamin B12 deficiency and borderline thyroid. Started on supplements and a tiny dose of medication, and I feel like a different person three weeks later. He didn't just treat a symptom; he actually found the problem.
I was so nervous going in, my hands were literally shaking. Dr. Dani just talked to me like a normal person, explained everything in simple words, and didn't rush me at all. I left feeling like a weight was off my shoulders. The wait was a bit long, but honestly, it was worth it for how calm he made me feel.
My 8-year-old had a high fever that wouldn't break, and we were really scared. Dr. Dani was so gentle with her, even got her to smile when he checked her ears. He took the time to explain to us, the parents, exactly what was happening and what the medicine would do. We felt heard the whole time, not just like another case. She's much better now, and honestly, we're just so grateful for his kindness.
Had a weird stomach thing for weeks. Went to Dr. Dani. He figured it out, gave me a plan. Fixed it. Straight to the point, which I appreciate. Parking at Apollo is always a hassle, but the visit itself was efficient.
Okay, so this was my third visit for this ongoing issue. The first time, I was just listing symptoms. The second time, we tried a treatment. This last visit, Dr. Dani remembered all of it. He leaned back and said, 'Let's look at the whole pattern from the beginning,' and actually pulled up my notes from months ago. He connected dots I didn't even see, suggested a small lifestyle tweak alongside the meds. It wasn't a magic fix, but it's the first time I feel like we're actually getting to the bottom of it, not just putting out fires.
I'd been to a couple of doctors about this constant fatigue and weird stomach pain. Everyone said it was stress. Dr. Sheroo actually listened, like really listened, and ordered some specific tests others hadn't. Turns out it was a tricky thyroid issue combined with a mild ulcer. She explained it all on a notepad, drawing little diagrams. I'm on the right treatment now and finally feel like myself. She just didn't give up.
