Dr. Manupriya Madhavan

I'd been to three different doctors over six months for this crushing fatigue. Everyone said it was stress or anemia. Dr. Manupriya was the first one who actually sat and mapped out every single symptom with me, even the weird ones I thought were unrelated. She ordered a specific set of tests no one else had, and it turned out to be a thyroid issue that was messing with everything. She explained it all with a diagram on her notepad—didn't just hand me a prescription. Finally felt like someone was actually listening.

Had to get a small cyst removed from my back. Honestly, I was more worried about the paperwork and the wait than the procedure itself. But at Apollo Sage, it was surprisingly straightforward. Dr. Madhavan's team had all the instructions clear, and the surgery itself felt like it took twenty minutes. I was in and out the same day, and the follow-up call from her nurse to check on the stitches was a nice touch. It was just... easy, which is what you want for something routine.

The place was busy, I won't lie—parking took a while. But once I got inside, the front desk people were really calm and got me sorted quickly. The whole floor was quiet and clean, which helped my nerves a lot. When Dr. Manupriya came in, she wasn't rushed at all. She even joked about the maze of corridors in the hospital, which made me laugh. It felt less like a factory and more like a place where people actually care how you're doing.

Look, I'm not great with doctors. I get nervous and clam up. Dr. Madhavan has this way of talking that just puts you at ease. She doesn't stand over you; she pulls up a chair. When I was explaining my stomach problems, I was all over the place, but she just nodded and helped me put it in order. She never made me feel silly for asking basic questions. It's her manner—you feel like you're talking to a really smart, kind aunt who also happens to be a brilliant doctor.
