Patient Experience
I'd been to three doctors about this constant fatigue and weird stomach pain. Everyone said it was stress. Dr. Giridhar actually listened to all the little details I thought were irrelevant. He ordered a specific test the others hadn't, and it turned out to be a tricky thyroid issue combined with a mild food intolerance. He explained it in a way that finally made sense. I'm on the right track now, and it's such a relief to have answers.
Had to get a small cyst removed. Honestly, I was pretty nervous about the whole thing, even though everyone said it was routine. Dr. Giridhar walked me through exactly what would happen on the day. The procedure itself at Apollo Seshadripuram was over before I knew it. No drama, no fuss. He checked in the next day, which I really didn't expect. It was just a smooth experience from start to finish.
The parking at the hospital was a nightmare that day, so I was already flustered when I got in. But the front desk lady was really patient helping me find my paperwork. The nurse who took my vitals was chatting about the rain, which calmed me down. Even the cleaner in the hallway gave me a smile. It felt like the whole team there was in a good mood. Dr. Giridhar fits right into that—he’s part of a place that actually feels helpful.
What sticks with me is how he talks to you. He doesn't just look at the chart. He'll sit down, make eye contact, and ask how you're *really* doing. When my blood pressure was up, instead of just scolding me, he asked about my work stress and we talked about small ways to manage it. He remembers things from past visits, too. It feels like you're talking to a very smart, calm friend who happens to know a lot about medicine.
