My son had a high fever that wouldn't break. We were really worried. Dr. Karjigi saw him, and her calm manner put us all at ease. She listened carefully to everything, even the small details I was rambling about. Her diagnosis was spot-on. The medicine worked, and he was back to himself quickly. We're so grateful for her care.

I was new to Bangalore and needed a reliable GP. Found Dr. Karjigi. The parking at Apollo was a hassle, I'll be honest. But the consultation was worth it. She's thorough, answered all my questions without rushing, and has a great way of explaining things. I've been back twice now. She's my go-to doctor here.

After months of feeling constantly tired and run down, I finally saw Dr. Karjigi. I was nervous she'd just dismiss it as stress. She didn't. She looked at my history, suggested a few specific blood tests, and found a vitamin deficiency I didn't know about. Started the supplements she recommended, and my energy is finally coming back. What a relief!
