Patient Experience
I'd been to a couple of doctors about this persistent fatigue and stomach pain. Everyone said it was stress. Dr. Rashmi Patil actually listened, asked a ton of questions I hadn't been asked before, and ordered some specific tests. Turns out it was a tricky vitamin deficiency combined with a mild food intolerance. It wasn't some dramatic disease, but it was complex to untangle. She explained the whole chain of cause and effect in a way that finally made sense. I'm just glad someone looked past the obvious.
Had to get a small cyst removed. Honestly, I was nervous at first—any procedure is a bit scary. But Dr. Patil and her team at Apollo Bannerghatta made it so straightforward. She walked me through each step on the day, the actual removal took maybe twenty minutes, and the follow-up was just a quick check. The whole thing felt very normal, no fuss. Sometimes you just want things to be simple and efficient, and that's exactly what it was.
The parking at Apollo was completely full when I arrived for my appointment, which stressed me out. By the time I got to the clinic, I was flustered. The front desk person saw it, calmed me down, and got me checked in smoothly. The whole place just has a calm feeling, even when it's busy. It made waiting for my turn with Dr. Patil much easier. The environment really does make a difference when you're not feeling great.
What I remember most is how Dr. Patil talks to you. I'm not great with medical jargon, and my mind goes blank in appointments. She doesn't just fire questions; she has a conversation. She sat down, made eye contact, and even cracked a small joke to put me at ease. It felt like she was genuinely interested in figuring out my issue, not just checking boxes on a chart. That kind of attention is rare.
