Patient Experience
My hands were shaking in the waiting room, I was so nervous about my first check-up in years. Dr. Venkatesh just had this calm way of talking that made me feel like it was all going to be okay. He explained everything without rushing, and by the time I left, I felt a weight was off my shoulders. The wait was a bit long, but honestly, it was worth it for that kind of care.
Our 8-year-old spiked a crazy high fever and we rushed to Apollo Bannerghatta in a panic. Dr. Venkatesh saw us quickly and was so gentle with our son, who was scared and crying. He didn't just talk to us; he got down on my son's level, asked him about his favorite cartoon, and explained the medicine in a way a kid could understand. We spent a long night there, but seeing how carefully he monitored everything and how he checked in on us made all the difference. We're so grateful.
Had a stubborn stomach issue. Saw Dr. Venkatesh T K. He was direct, figured it out fast, and gave me a clear plan. No fuss, got the job done. Parking at Apollo is always a hassle, but the appointment itself was efficient.
I'd been feeling run-down for months, just not myself. My usual doctor retired, so I booked with Dr. Venkatesh on a friend's suggestion. The first thing I noticed was how he actually listened—he let me ramble about all the little symptoms I thought were silly. He connected dots I hadn't, ordered the right tests, and called me himself with the results to walk me through them. It wasn't anything dramatic, just a vitamin deficiency and some stress, but his approach made me feel heard for the first time in a long while. Really good experience.
I'd been to three other doctors for this nagging stomach pain and fatigue. Everyone said it was stress. Dr. Vijay Kumar actually listened to the whole history, asked a lot of questions I hadn't been asked before, and ordered some specific tests. Turns out it was a tricky gallbladder issue that wasn't showing up on the standard scans. He explained it in a way that finally made sense. I had the surgery here at Apollo Bannerghatta last month and I'm finally feeling like myself again.
Needed to get a small cyst removed. Honestly, I was nervous about any kind of procedure. Dr. Vijay Kumar walked me through the whole thing in the clinic, didn't rush me, and his calmness really helped. The day of, everything went exactly as he said it would. I was in and out of the hospital in a few hours. The scar is healing really cleanly, too. It was just a simple thing, but it's a relief to have it done properly.
The parking at Apollo Bannerghatta was a nightmare that day, completely full. I was flustered by the time I got to the clinic. But the front desk lady saw I was stressed, got me checked in quickly, and even found me a quieter corner to wait. The whole place just feels efficient and clean. It made dealing with the reason for my visit a lot less stressful. Dr. Vijay Kumar's team really has things running smoothly.
What I remember most is how he talked to my elderly mother. She was confused and scared about her new medication. He didn't just talk to me; he sat down, looked right at her, and explained everything using simple words and a lot of patience. He didn't make her feel rushed or silly for asking the same thing twice. That kind of respect means everything. You can tell he genuinely cares about the person, not just the chart.
I'd been to three different doctors over six months for this nagging fatigue and joint pain. Everyone said it was stress or a vitamin deficiency. Dr. Sudarshan at Apollo Bannerghatta was the first one who actually sat and listened to my whole history. He ordered a specific set of blood tests no one else had thought of, and it turned out to be something pretty rare. He explained it to me in simple terms, didn't rush, and laid out a clear plan. I finally feel like I'm getting somewhere.
Had to get a minor cyst removed. Honestly, I was nervous about any kind of procedure, even a simple one. Dr. Sudarshan walked me through exactly what would happen, step by step. The whole thing took maybe twenty minutes in the outpatient room. A bit of a wait beforehand because they were busy, but the procedure itself was smooth. Sore for a day or two, but that was it. It was exactly what you hope for with something routine – straightforward and efficient.
The parking situation at Apollo Bannerghatta is always a bit of a hunt, I won't lie. But once I got inside for my appointment with Dr. Sudarshan, the difference was clear. The front desk staff actually smiled and helped sort my paperwork. The nurse who took my vitals was really kind and chatted with me to calm my nerves. The place just felt calm and organized, which makes a huge difference when you're not feeling great.
What stuck with me most about Dr. Sudarshan was how he talked to me. I'm not a medical person, and sometimes doctors can make you feel silly for asking questions. He never did that. He'd finish examining me, pull his chair up, and just talk. Asked about my work, how the symptoms were affecting my day-to-day. He has a very calm, direct way about him that makes you feel like you're in capable hands without him having to say it.
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.
I was a total wreck before my appointment. First time seeing a doctor alone, and I was convinced I had something awful. Dr. Savith Kumar just had this calm way about him. He actually listened to my jumbled-up worries, explained everything in simple terms, and by the time I left Apollo, I felt silly for being so scared. He just made it all feel manageable.
Our 8-year-old had a high fever that wouldn't break, and we were panicking. We got to Apollo Bannerghatta and saw Dr. Kumar. He was so gentle with her. He didn't just talk to us; he got down to her level, showed her his stethoscope, made her smile even though she felt terrible. He explained what was happening in a way we could understand, and more importantly, in a way that didn't scare our daughter. We're just so grateful we found him.
Had a weird pain in my side for a couple weeks. Saw Dr. Savith Kumar at Apollo. Straight to the point, no fluff. Asked the right questions, ordered a sensible scan, figured it out. Got a clear treatment plan. Fixed me up. Good doctor.
Okay, so this started with me just feeling run-down for months. I'd put off seeing anyone, you know how it is. Finally booked with Dr. Kumar at Apollo—parking was a nightmare, by the way. The waiting room was busy, but once I got in, he didn't rush. He went through my whole history, asked about my work stress, my sleep, things I hadn't even connected. He said, 'Let's not guess, let's check a few specific things.' The tests showed it was a simple vitamin deficiency, totally fixable. What stuck with me was that he looked at the whole picture, not just the obvious symptom. I left with a plan and, for the first time in ages, some real hope.
