Patient Experience
My four-year-old, Leo, had been running a fever for days and just wasn't himself. I was a mess. The hospital was busy, and we had to wait a bit, but when Dr. Malik came in, he got right down to Leo's level. He didn't just talk to me; he asked Leo about his favorite dinosaur. He explained everything in a way I could actually understand, not just medical jargon. He took the time to really listen to all my worried-mom questions, even the silly ones. Seeing my little boy smile and give Dr. Malik a fist bump after the check-up meant more than I can say.
Severe abdominal pain. Went to Apollo Sage. Saw Dr. Rishi Malik. He was direct, asked clear questions, ordered the right scans quickly. Diagnosed a kidney stone. Explained the treatment plan without sugar-coating it. The pain was managed effectively. Follow-up was straightforward. He did his job well. No fuss.
I've always been quite anxious about doctors' visits, to be honest. My appointment with Dr. Malik was for a persistent cough that worried me. He has a very calm manner. He listened without interrupting, and his explanations were gentle and clear. He didn't make me feel rushed at all, even though I know he must be very busy. He addressed my concerns thoughtfully and made sure I was comfortable with the next steps. It was a very reassuring experience.
Honestly, I was dreading this physical. I'd put it off for years. But Dr. Malik? What a breath of fresh air! He had my file, asked smart questions about my lifestyle, and actually cracked a joke that put me at ease. When some bloodwork came back a little off, he called me himself to talk it through—no scary voicemail from a nurse. He laid out a simple plan to get things back on track. I walked out of there feeling like I finally had a handle on my health. So relieved!
Had a persistent stomach issue for weeks. Booked an appointment with Dr. Agarwal online. The clinic was running a little behind, but once I was in, he was efficient. Asked clear questions, didn't rush, and ordered the right tests. Got a diagnosis and a treatment plan that worked. No fuss, just results. Exactly what I needed.
I was quite nervous about some ongoing fatigue. Dr. Agarwal has a very calm way about him. He listened quietly to everything I said, which made me feel heard. His explanations were simple and he checked in to make sure I understood. The hospital itself is large and a bit overwhelming, but his manner made the visit much easier.
After months of feeling run-down and getting nowhere with other doctors, my wife insisted I see Dr. Agarwal. What a difference! He actually connected the dots between symptoms I thought were separate. He figured it out! I'm on the mend now and just so relieved to finally have answers and a clear path forward.
Went in for a routine check-up that turned into something more. Dr. Agarwal spotted a minor irregularity I'd have ignored. He was direct about the need for further investigation but practical in his approach. Parking at Apollo Sage is always a challenge, but it was worth it. He handled it all with a no-nonsense attitude I respect.
I'd been to a couple of doctors about this nagging fatigue and stomach issue, and everyone just said it was stress. Dr. Chaitanya was the first one who actually sat and listened, really listened, to all the weird little symptoms I thought were unrelated. He ordered a specific test the others hadn't, and it turned out to be something pretty rare. He explained it to me and my wife in plain English, no fancy jargon, and laid out a clear plan. I'm finally on the mend.
Had to get a minor cyst removed. Honestly, I was nervous at first, but Dr. Chaitanya made it so straightforward. The whole thing at Apollo Sage was over in an hour. He talked me through each step as he was doing it, which kept my mind off things. The stitches were neat, healing was a breeze, and the follow-up was quick. It was just... easy, exactly what you hope for with something routine.
The parking garage was completely full when I arrived for my appointment, which put me in a bit of a mood. But from the moment I walked into Apollo Sage, the front desk staff were really kind about it. The nurse who took my vitals was chatting about the weather to distract me, and even the person who cleaned the waiting area smiled. It's a nice place, calm and clean. It made a stressful day much better.
What stuck with me about Dr. Kulkarni was how normal he made me feel. I was embarrassed about a personal issue, but he didn't flinch or make it awkward. He just asked his questions directly but kindly, and he actually looked at me, not just his computer screen. He has this calm way about him that makes you feel like you're the only patient he has that day. You don't find that everywhere.
I'd been to a couple of doctors about this weird fatigue and joint pain. Everyone said it was stress or just getting older. Dr. Alex actually listened, like, really listened to all the little details I thought were silly. She ordered some specific tests nobody else had, and it turned out to be something pretty rare. She explained it all without making me feel stupid, and we finally have a treatment plan that's working. It's a relief to just have a name for it.
Had to get a minor cyst removed. Honestly, I was more nervous about the whole hospital thing than the procedure itself. Dr. Alex's team made it simple. The nurse who prepped me was cracking jokes, which helped. The procedure itself was over in what felt like ten minutes. Dr. Alex checked in the next day herself, which I wasn't expecting. It healed up clean, no fuss. Sometimes simple is good.
The parking garage at Apollo Sage was a nightmare that morning, completely full. I was flustered by the time I got to Dr. Alex's floor. But the lady at the front desk was so calm and got me checked in fast. The whole place just felt quiet and clean, not chaotic. Even the person who took my blood pressure was gentle and chatted about the weather. It made a stressful start to the day much easier to handle.
Look, I don't really like doctors. I get awkward. But Dr. Alex has this way of talking *with* you, not at you. She sat down, didn't hover by the door. When I told her I was scared about the medication side effects, she didn't dismiss it. She said, 'Yeah, that's a valid concern, let's talk about how we manage that.' It felt like a conversation, not a lecture. That matters a lot to me.
Had my gallbladder out last week. The first couple days were rough, I won't lie. But Dr. Raikwar's team had a clear plan for the pain. They checked on me regularly, adjusted things when I needed it. It wasn't just pills; they showed me how to move, how to sleep to ease the ache. I'm moving around the house now, taking it slow. The pain is manageable, and I finally feel like I'm getting somewhere.
Appendicitis. Went to Apollo Sage in a lot of pain. Dr. Raikwar saw me quickly, explained I needed surgery. He was direct, clear about the procedure and risks. Surgery went fine. Follow-up was straightforward. He answered my questions without extra detail. I'm healed. It was efficient.
I was so nervous about my hernia operation. Dr. Raikwar has a very calm way about him. He took time to draw a little picture for me, showed me exactly what he would do. Afterward, he always spoke softly when he asked about my pain. It made a difficult time much easier. I'm very grateful for his kindness.
Wow, what a difference! I'd been putting off this surgery for years because I was scared. Dr. Raikwar at Apollo Sage just made it all seem so... doable. The waiting room was packed, but once I got in, he was fantastic. Explained everything, cracked a joke to lighten the mood. Post-op, I felt better than I expected so fast! So relieved it's over and I'm back on my feet. Huge weight off my shoulders!
