Dr. Pramod K Sudarshan

I'd been to three different doctors over six months for this nagging fatigue and joint pain. Everyone said it was stress or a vitamin deficiency. Dr. Sudarshan at Apollo Bannerghatta was the first one who actually sat and listened to my whole history. He ordered a specific set of blood tests no one else had thought of, and it turned out to be something pretty rare. He explained it to me in simple terms, didn't rush, and laid out a clear plan. I finally feel like I'm getting somewhere.

Had to get a minor cyst removed. Honestly, I was nervous about any kind of procedure, even a simple one. Dr. Sudarshan walked me through exactly what would happen, step by step. The whole thing took maybe twenty minutes in the outpatient room. A bit of a wait beforehand because they were busy, but the procedure itself was smooth. Sore for a day or two, but that was it. It was exactly what you hope for with something routine – straightforward and efficient.

The parking situation at Apollo Bannerghatta is always a bit of a hunt, I won't lie. But once I got inside for my appointment with Dr. Sudarshan, the difference was clear. The front desk staff actually smiled and helped sort my paperwork. The nurse who took my vitals was really kind and chatted with me to calm my nerves. The place just felt calm and organized, which makes a huge difference when you're not feeling great.

What stuck with me most about Dr. Sudarshan was how he talked to me. I'm not a medical person, and sometimes doctors can make you feel silly for asking questions. He never did that. He'd finish examining me, pull his chair up, and just talk. Asked about my work, how the symptoms were affecting my day-to-day. He has a very calm, direct way about him that makes you feel like you're in capable hands without him having to say it.
