Patient Experience
I'd been to a couple of doctors about this nagging pain and fatigue, and everyone had a different guess. Honestly, I was starting to think it was all in my head. Dr. Ragavan was different. He actually listened to the whole, messy story, asked questions no one else had, and ordered a specific test the others hadn't considered. Turns out it was a pretty rare thyroid issue. He explained it in a way that finally made sense. I'm on medication now and feel like myself again. It was a relief to have someone actually figure it out.
Had to get a small cyst removed from my back. Nothing major, but I was nervous about the scar and the whole process. Dr. Ragavan's team made it really straightforward. The appointment was on time, the nurse who prepped me was kind and cracked a joke that settled my nerves. The procedure itself was quick, and Dr. Ragavan checked in right after. Healing was a breeze, just like he said it would be. Sometimes simple things going right is all you need.
The parking at Apollo Bannerghatta is always a bit of a hunt, I won't lie. But once I got inside for my consultation with Dr. Ragavan, the place felt calm. The front desk lady found my file quickly even though I was flustered, and the nurse who took my vitals had a really gentle way about her. It's not just about the doctor, you know? The whole environment felt supportive, which matters when you're not feeling great.
What I remember most about seeing Dr. Ragavan wasn't just the medicine he prescribed. It was how he sat down, looked me in the eye, and asked how the symptoms were affecting my day-to-day life. He didn't rush. When I got confused about the treatment plan, he drew a little diagram on his notepad. He has this quiet, reassuring way about him that made me feel like I was in good hands, not just on an assembly line.
