Dr. Lakshmi Ananth

I'd been feeling off for months, just tired and achy. A few other doctors ran basic tests and said it was stress. Dr. Lakshmi Ananth at Apollo Seshadripuram actually listened to all the weird little symptoms I mentioned—like my joints being stiff in the morning. She ordered a specific blood panel others hadn't. Turns out it was something autoimmune. She explained it in a way that finally made sense, without scaring me. I'm on a treatment plan now and starting to feel like myself again.

Had to get a small cyst removed. Honestly, I was nervous at first about any procedure. But Dr. Ananth made it so straightforward. The whole thing at Apollo was quick; in and out in a few hours. She talked me through each step as she did it, which really helped. The cut is tiny, healing up nicely. It was just a simple thing, but it's a relief to have it done and not be worried anymore.

The parking at the hospital was completely full that day, which put me in a bad mood before my appointment. But the front desk staff were really patient helping me figure it out. Once inside, the clinic area felt calm and clean. The nurse who took my vitals was friendly and chatted about the weather, which settled my nerves. It's the little things that make a difference when you're not feeling great.

What I remember most is how Dr. Ananth sat down with me after my check-up. She didn't rush. She asked about my work and how the stress might be affecting my sleep, which was the real issue. She felt like a real person talking to me, not just a doctor reciting advice. I left with practical tips, not just a prescription. You don't find that everywhere.
