Patient Experience
My mom was admitted for a bad stomach infection and we were all really scared. Dr. Deepa was the one who actually sat us down in the waiting area and explained everything in simple terms—what was happening, what the medicine would do, what to watch for at home. She didn't just talk to the chart. She gave us her direct number for follow-up, which we used once, and she called back herself. It made a stressful time so much easier for our whole family.
Had my gallbladder out with Dr. Deepa. The surgery part is a blur, but the recovery was rough. She was really clear about the pain plan beforehand, which helped. The first two days were hard, I won't lie, but the nurses followed her instructions to the letter. She checked on me every morning, asked specific questions about the pain level and movement, and adjusted things as needed. Felt like she was actually listening and didn't just expect me to tough it out.
Needed a general check-up and got Dr. Deepa. Quick, efficient, no nonsense. Explained my blood work results without any medical jargon. Told me what to fix, what was fine. Parking at Apollo was a nightmare that day, but the appointment itself was straightforward and helpful.
I'd been putting off seeing anyone about this lingering cough and fatigue for weeks. Finally went to Apollo and saw Dr. Deepa C K. I was nervous it was something serious. She had a calm way about her—asked a lot of questions, not just about the cough but about my sleep and work stress. She actually examined me properly, listened to my lungs for what felt like a full minute. Turned out to be a stubborn post-viral thing, but she laid out a clear plan: this medicine, rest for this long, come back if this specific thing happens. It was the thoroughness that got me. I left feeling like I'd been heard, not just processed.
