Patient Experience
My dad was admitted with a bad fever and we were all really scared. Dr. Dikshit was the one who actually sat us down in the family room and explained everything in simple terms—what the tests showed, what the plan was, and what to expect day by day. He didn't just talk to the patient, he talked to us. That made a huge difference when you're sitting in a hospital feeling helpless. Dad's home now and doing much better, and a lot of that is because we felt informed and could actually support him properly.
I've always been terrified of doctors and hospitals. Had this weird stomach pain for weeks and finally dragged myself to Apollo. I was shaking in the waiting room. But Dr. Dikshit? He was so calm. He listened to my whole rambling story, didn't rush me at all, and then just said, 'Okay, let's figure this out together.' He explained what he was checking for as he did the exam, which made it less scary. Left with a clear plan and, honestly, feeling a bit silly for being so nervous. He's good people.
Had a persistent cough. Saw Dr. Dikshit. He was straight to the point, asked the right questions, ordered an X-ray to rule out anything serious. Got the all-clear and some meds that actually worked. No fuss, no drama. Parking at Apollo is always a nightmare, but the appointment itself was efficient.
It started as a general check-up last month. Dr. Dikshit was reviewing my file and paused at my blood pressure readings from the last year. He said, 'These are creeping up. Tell me about your typical day—work, food, stress.' We ended up talking for twenty minutes about my job, my commute, even how much tea I drink. He connected dots I never would have. Instead of just writing a prescription, he gave me a realistic plan to adjust my lifestyle first. Came back after three weeks of following his advice, and my numbers were already better. He treated the whole picture, not just the number on the chart.
