Patient Experience
I'd been to a few doctors about this constant fatigue and weird joint pain, and everyone just said it was stress or getting older. Dr. Rohit Madhurkar was different. He actually listened to everything, asked a bunch of questions that seemed random at the time, and ordered some specific tests. Turns out it was something pretty rare. He sat with me and my wife and explained it all in a way we could actually understand, without making us feel stupid. He didn't just give a name to it; he gave us a clear plan.
Had to get a minor cyst removed. Honestly, I was more nervous about the whole hospital process than the actual procedure. But with Dr. Madhurkar, it was straightforward. He told me exactly what would happen, how long it would take, and what the scar might look like. The whole thing was over in what felt like minutes. Recovery was exactly as he said it would be. Sometimes you just want things to be simple and predictable, and this was.
The Apollo waiting area was actually quite calm, which helped because I was pretty anxious. What stood out, though, was the nurse at Dr. Madhurkar's clinic. I must have asked her the same question three times while waiting, and she was just as patient and clear on the third time as the first. It's those little things that make a difference when you're not feeling your best. The doctor was great, but the team around him really sets the tone.
Look, I don't really like going to the doctor. I always feel rushed. Dr. Madhurkar has this way of just... slowing things down. He doesn't look at his watch while you're talking. When I explained my stomach issues, he didn't just jump to medication; he asked about my diet, my work hours, everything. He talks *with* you, not *at* you. It felt like a conversation, not a consultation. That kind of respect is rare.
