Patient Experience
As an older person, I am often anxious about doctor visits. Dr. Swarna Das was very kind and took the time to explain everything in simple terms. She made sure I was comfortable throughout and answered all my questions without rushing. I felt genuinely cared for.
Look, I hate going to the doctor. But I was feeling run down for ages. Friend recommended Dr. Das. She's no-nonsense, figured out my vitamin deficiency thing fast. Prescription worked. That's it. Good doc.
I went to Apollo on Bannerghatta Road after weeks of weird fatigue. The waiting area was packed, so I was a bit impatient. But once I got in, Dr. Das changed the whole vibe. She listened to my whole history—not just the recent stuff—and actually connected some dots from years ago. She asked about my sleep and stress, not just physical symptoms. The follow-up call from her nurse to check on me was a nice touch. Felt like she treated the person, not just the chart.
My mother was admitted with a severe stomach issue. We were all very worried. Dr. Vikram Maiya was the one who explained everything to us in simple terms, never rushing. He took the time to answer all our questions, even the silly ones from my dad. The hospital was busy, and we had to wait a bit for some test results, but he kept us informed. Because of his clear guidance, we felt involved and knew what to expect at each step. My mom is home now and doing much better.
Had a persistent fever that wouldn't break. Went to Apollo Bannerghatta. Dr. Maiya saw me. He listened, asked direct questions, ordered the right tests. Diagnosis was quick, treatment started immediately. No fuss, no unnecessary drama. I was feeling better within two days. Efficient and effective care. That's what I needed.
My husband was very sick, and I was so scared. Dr. Vikram Maiya has such a calm way about him. He spoke softly, explained my husband's condition without using confusing medical words, and made sure I understood the plan. He even asked how I was holding up. It wasn't just about the medicine; it was about caring for the person and the family. That kindness meant the world to us during a hard time.
After weeks of feeling run-down and getting nowhere with other doctors, I saw Dr. Maiya. FINALLY, someone who actually pieced the puzzle together! He was so thorough, asked about things no one else had. He figured it out! Started treatment, and I feel like a new person. I was so relieved I almost cried in his office. The parking lot was a nightmare, but honestly, it was worth it to get real answers. Thank you, Doctor!
I'd been to a few doctors for this nagging stomach pain and fatigue, everyone said it was just stress. Dr. Anand was different. He actually sat and listened to my whole history, even the stuff I thought was irrelevant. He ordered a specific test the others hadn't, and it turned out to be a tricky parasite. Not the most glamorous diagnosis, but finally having an answer and a treatment plan that worked was a massive relief. He explained it all in a way that made sense, without making me feel foolish for not figuring it out sooner.
Had to get a small cyst removed from my back. Honestly, I was pretty nervous about the whole thing. The procedure itself at Apollo was straightforward – in and out in a few hours. Dr. Anand was calm and clear about each step, even joked a little to lighten the mood. The scar healed up nicely, barely noticeable now. It was just a simple thing, but it felt handled with real care.
The Apollo facility on Bannerghatta Road is nice, sure, but what stood out was the team. From the front desk folks who helped me find my way to the nurse who saw I was anxious and got me a glass of water, everyone was kind. Even when the waiting area got a bit busy, they kept things moving. It felt organized, not chaotic. That support makes a difference when you're not feeling your best.
What I remember most about Dr. Anand is how he talks to you. He doesn't rush. He looks you in the eye and asks real questions. When my mother was his patient, he'd sit on the edge of the bed and explain things to her so patiently, making sure she understood. It wasn't just medical care; it felt like someone was genuinely looking out for her. That kind of calm, respectful presence is rare.
I'd been to a couple of doctors for this nagging stomach pain, and everyone just said it was stress. Dr. Manohar actually sat me down, listened to my whole history again, and ordered a specific test no one else had. Turned out to be a tricky gallbladder issue, not just 'stress.' He explained it in a way that finally made sense. I'm just relieved someone figured it out.
Had to get a small cyst removed. Honestly, I was nervous at first, but Dr. Manohar made the whole thing feel very straightforward. The procedure itself was quick, he told me what he was doing as he went, and the recovery was exactly as he said it would be. No drama, just a smooth experience from start to finish.
The Apollo facility on Bannerghatta Road is nice, but what stood out was the team. The front desk helped me sort out my paperwork when I was flustered, and the nurse who took my vitals was really calming. Even the person who brought water was polite. It felt like everyone was on the same page, which made a long day easier.
What I remember most is how Dr. Manohar talks to you. He doesn't just look at the chart. He looks at you. When I was worried about my blood pressure readings, he didn't dismiss it; he drew a little diagram on his notepad to show what was happening. Felt like he was actually having a conversation with me, not just delivering a report.
I'd been to a couple of doctors about this nagging fatigue and stomach pain. Everyone said it was stress. Dr. Shalini was the first one who actually sat and listened, asked about things I never thought were connected. She ordered some specific tests at Apollo and figured out it was a tricky thyroid issue affecting my gut. It wasn't straightforward, but she explained the 'why' in a way that finally made sense. I'm on the right track now.
Had to get a small cyst removed. Honestly, I was nervous at first, but Dr. Shalini made it seem so routine. She talked me through each step before she did it, the actual procedure was over in what felt like minutes, and the follow-up was just a quick check. No drama, no fuss. Sometimes you just want things to be simple, and this was.
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 it on my face and was really calm helping me out. The whole place just felt orderly, and the nurse who took my vitals had a nice way of chatting that put me at ease before I even saw the doctor. It made a difference.
What I remember most is how Dr. Shalini talks to you. She doesn't just look at the file; she looks at you. When I was worried about a treatment, she didn't dismiss it. She pulled her chair up, laid out my options plainly—good and bad—and asked what I thought would work for my life. Felt like a real conversation, not a lecture.
I've been seeing Dr. Chitra for my diabetes and blood pressure for over eight years now, since before she moved to Apollo. She remembers my history without me having to repeat it every time. That consistency is what keeps me coming back. I don't feel like just another file on her desk. She's adjusted my meds slowly over the years, and I've been stable. That's what matters.
