Patient Experience
I'd been to a couple of doctors about this nagging fatigue and stomach pain, and everyone just said it was stress. Dr. Girish Panth was the first one who actually listened. He ordered a few specific tests others hadn't, sat me down, and explained it was a tricky autoimmune thing affecting my gut. He didn't rush, drew me a little diagram on his notepad. Starting treatment based on his diagnosis finally made a difference after months of feeling awful.
Had to get a small cyst removed from my back. Honestly, I was nervous about the whole 'operation' word, even though they said it was minor. Dr. Panth made it simple. The procedure itself was over in what felt like ten minutes. He talked me through what he was doing the whole time, which really kept me calm. The stitches were neat, healing was straightforward. It was just... easy, exactly what you hope for.
The Apollo waiting area was packed, I won't lie. But once I got in to see Dr. Panth, his nurse was really kind. She could see I was anxious and got me a glass of water while I waited. The whole clinic felt calm and clean, which helped. Even the person at the front desk who sorted my paperwork was patient with my questions. It felt like a team, not just one doctor.
What I remember most is how he talks to you. I'm an older patient, and sometimes doctors can be a bit dismissive. Not him. He asks questions and then actually waits for your answer. He explains things without using confusing medical jargon. When I had concerns about a new medication, he took the time to discuss the pros and cons until I felt comfortable. It's just a different level of respect.
