Dr. K Kartik Revanappa

I'd been to a couple of doctors for this nagging stomach pain and fatigue. Everyone said it was stress. Dr. Revanappa at Apollo Bannerghatta was the first one who actually looked skeptical at that answer. He ordered some specific tests others hadn't, sat me down, and explained how all these weird symptoms might be linked to a thyroid issue I never knew I had. It wasn't a quick fix, but finally having a real direction made all the difference.

Had to get a small cyst removed. Honestly, I was more nervous about the hospital process than the actual thing. Dr. Revanappa made it simple. He drew on my arm where the incision would be, joked that his drawing skills were worse than his surgery skills, and the whole thing was over in what felt like minutes. Follow-up was just a quick check of the stitches. Felt very straightforward.

The place was busy, I won't lie. Had to circle for parking. But once I got inside, the front desk people were really patient helping me find my paperwork. The nurse who took my vitals noticed I was anxious and just chatted about the weather to distract me. It's those little things at Apollo that make a long wait feel less stressful.

What I liked about Dr. Kartik is that he doesn't talk at you. My dad, who's hard of hearing, was with me. The doctor turned his chair to face him directly, spoke clearly, and repeated things without making him feel rushed. He has this calm way of explaining that makes scary news feel manageable. You feel like a person in his room, not just a case.
