Patient Experience
I'd been to a couple of doctors about this nagging fatigue and stomach issue, and everyone just said it was stress. Dr. Dobhada actually listened to the whole history, asked questions no one else did, and ordered a specific test. Turns out it was something pretty rare. He sat with me and my wife, drew a diagram on a notepad to explain it all. I'm on the right treatment now, and I finally feel like myself again. It was a relief to have someone really dig for an answer.
Had to get a minor cyst removed. Honestly, I was nervous at first, but Dr. Dobhada made it sound so straightforward. The day of, the whole thing was over in what felt like minutes. He talked me through each step as it happened, which kept my mind off it. The stitches were neat, healing was a breeze. Sometimes the simple things are done really well, and that matters.
Parking at Apollo was a bit of a hunt that morning, I won't lie. But once inside, the whole experience was calm. The front desk lady saw I was looking lost and pointed me in the right direction. The nurse who took my vitals was really kind, and the waiting area was quiet and clean. It just felt organized, not chaotic like some places. It made seeing the doctor less stressful.
What I remember most is how Dr. Dobhada talked to my elderly mother. She gets confused easily and was scared. He didn't just talk to me; he got down to her eye level, spoke slowly, and checked she understood everything. He has this quiet, patient way about him. You don't feel rushed. My mom trusted him immediately, and that meant everything to our family.
