Dr. Shakti Shankar Pattanayak

My 8-year-old son had a high fever that wouldn't break for three days. We were so scared. Dr. Pattanayak at Apollo was the first doctor who really listened to us. He sat with my son, talked to him directly in a calm voice, and explained everything in simple terms. The waiting area was packed, but once we got in, he gave us his full attention. He didn't just treat the fever; he figured out the underlying infection. My son is back to school now, and I finally feel like I can breathe again.

My father was admitted under Dr. Pattanayak's care. What stood out was how he kept our whole family in the loop. He'd take the time after his rounds to find us in the waiting area, even if it was just for a minute, to explain any changes in the treatment plan. He used plain language, no confusing medical jargon. He never made us feel like we were bothering him with questions. That kind of clear communication took a huge weight off our shoulders during a really stressful time.

Had a bad stomach issue. Went to see Dr. Pattanayak. He was straight to the point, asked the right questions, and gave me a clear plan. Fixed me up in a few days. No fuss, good doctor.

I'd been feeling run-down for months. Tired all the time, just not myself. My usual check-ups showed nothing. A friend suggested I try Dr. Pattanayak at Apollo. The first visit, I was nervous—big hospital, you know? But he had this very quiet, thoughtful way about him. He didn't just look at my charts; he asked about my work stress, my sleep, things no one else had. Ordered a couple of specific tests others hadn't thought of. Turns out, it was a simple vitamin deficiency that was throwing everything off. Started the supplements he suggested, and within a few weeks, the fog lifted. It wasn't a dramatic illness, but he solved a problem that was really affecting my life.
