Patient Experience
I was a complete wreck before my appointment. First time seeing a doctor in Bangalore, and my stomach was in knots. The Apollo waiting area was huge and a bit overwhelming. But Dr. Anupama Hegde was so calm. She didn't rush me, let me explain my silly worries, and actually listened. She just had this way of making things seem manageable. I walked out feeling like a weight was lifted, more than anything she prescribed.
Had a persistent cough for three weeks. Went to Apollo Bannerghatta. Saw Dr. Anupama Hegde. She asked clear questions, checked thoroughly, explained it was a viral thing lingering. Prescribed some basic meds and told me what to watch for. No fuss. The cough cleared up in a few days. Good, efficient doctor.
I'm not one to speak up much, especially to doctors. I had this lingering fatigue and just felt off. Dr. Hegde was... kind. She noticed I was hesitant and asked questions in a way that made it easy to answer. She didn't make me feel like I was wasting her time with vague symptoms. Her advice was gentle but practical. It made a real difference in how I've been feeling lately.
Finally got some answers! I'd been to two other places for these digestive issues and just got shrugs. Dr. Hegde actually looked at my old reports, asked about my diet in detail – things no one else did. She ordered one specific test and boom, figured it out. The parking at Apollo was a nightmare that day, but honestly, worth it. So relieved to have a plan now!
