Patient Experience
Had my gallbladder out at Apollo Sage. Dr. Khandelwal checked on me twice a day, even on Sunday. The pain plan he set up actually worked—I wasn't just gritting my teeth. Felt rough the first night, but the nurses knew exactly what to do because he'd written clear instructions. Walking by day three.
I was so nervous going in—first time seeing a specialist for my stomach issues. Dr. Khandelwal just had this calm way about him. He actually listened to all my worries without rushing me. Explained everything in normal words, not doctor-speak. Left feeling like I finally had a plan, and way less scared.
Fixed my hernia. Dr. Khandelwal was straight to the point, told me what needed doing and why. Surgery went fine, recovery's been okay. He's good, no nonsense. Would see him again if I had to.
My story's a bit long, sorry. I'd had this nagging pain for months, seen a couple doctors who just shrugged. At Apollo Sage, Dr. Khandelwal spent a solid 20 minutes just asking questions and poking around. He remembered a tiny detail I'd mentioned about when the pain spiked. Ordered one specific scan the others hadn't. Turns out it was a small abscess. He drained it right there in his office. It wasn't some magic cure, but he paid attention where others didn't. The hospital parking is always full, but for once, it felt worth the hassle.
