Patient Experience
Had a gallbladder removal last month. The surgery itself went fine, but the first few days after were rough. Dr. Shashidhar checked on me every day at Apollo, even on the weekend. He really listened when I said the pain meds weren't cutting it and adjusted things until I was comfortable. Felt like he was genuinely invested in getting me through the worst of it, not just the operation.
I was so nervous going in—first time seeing a doctor here, and I hate hospitals. Dr. Shashidhar just had a really calm way about him. He didn't rush me, explained everything in simple terms, and actually answered my questions without making me feel silly for asking. Walked out feeling a lot lighter than when I walked in. Parking was a nightmare, though.
Needed a general check-up and got referred to Dr. Shashidhar at Apollo Seshadripuram. Straight to the point, clear advice, no unnecessary tests. Got my prescription and a plan. Exactly what I wanted.
My story with Dr. Shashidhar started with this nagging stomach pain that wouldn't go away. I'd put off seeing anyone for weeks, worried it was something serious. The clinic was running late that day, so I waited a bit, which just made me more anxious. When I finally got in, he didn't just glance at my file. He asked about my diet, my work stress, everything. He figured out it was a severe acid reflux issue aggravated by my terrible coffee habit. His explanation made sense, and the treatment plan worked. It wasn't a miracle cure, but he helped me connect the dots and get better.
