Patient Experience
I've been seeing Dr. Shoba Sudeep for my blood pressure for over eight years now, since she was at her old clinic. I followed her to Apollo. That's how much I trust her. She remembers the details, asks about my family, and never rushes me. Her advice is always steady and sensible. In a world where doctors change all the time, her consistency is what keeps me healthy.
Had my gallbladder out last month. I was really scared about the pain afterwards. Dr. Shoba was very clear about what to expect and set up a pain management plan that actually worked. She checked on me personally the day after surgery, not just the junior doctors. The recovery was tough, but I never felt like I was managing it alone. She made a hard process feel manageable.
Went to Dr. Shoba for a bad flu that wouldn't quit. Got an appointment easily. She listened, didn't over-prescribe, and told me exactly what to do. Felt better in a couple days. Straightforward and effective. Parking at that Apollo is always a nightmare, though.
My story's a bit odd. I went in for a routine check-up feeling mostly fine, just tired. Dr. Shoba was going through the usual questions, but she paused when I mentioned a vague discomfort I'd been ignoring. She asked a few more specific questions and suggested a simple scan 'just to rule things out.' Honestly, I thought it was overkill. That scan found a small issue early, something that could have been a big problem later. She didn't panic, just laid out the options calmly. It wasn't a dramatic rescue, just a doctor paying really close attention to a throwaway comment. That kind of attention is rare.
