Patient Experience
At my age, you worry about being a bother. Dr. Kar never made me feel that way. He listened to all my old aches and explained things in a way I could understand, without rushing me. The hospital was comfortable, and I left feeling truly cared for.
Had a persistent stomach issue that was affecting my work. Saw Dr. Kar at Apollo. He was direct, ordered the right tests quickly, and his treatment plan worked. Got me back on track with minimal fuss. Exactly what I needed.
Look, I was nervous. Never been great with doctors. But Dr. Kar was straight with me—no sugarcoating, but also no scare tactics. Fixed my problem. Parking at Apollo was a nightmare, though.
I'd been feeling run-down for weeks. My wife finally pushed me to see someone. From the first appointment, Dr. Kar was different. He actually remembered details from our last chat when I went for my follow-up. He connected my fatigue to a vitamin deficiency my previous doctor missed. The whole process, from the check-in to getting my lab results explained, felt thorough. I'm feeling much more like myself now.
I've been seeing Dr. Prashant for my blood pressure for almost eight years now. He remembers my history without always checking the file, which I appreciate. The clinic can get busy, and sometimes I wait a bit, but I don't mind because I know when it's my turn, he gives me his full attention. He doesn't rush to change medications; he likes to see a pattern first. That consistency is why I trust him.
Had a stubborn skin rash. Went to Dr. Prashant Chandra Das. He looked at it, asked a few clear questions, prescribed a cream. It was gone in a week. No fuss, no unnecessary tests. Parking at Apollo was a hassle that day, but the appointment itself was efficient and solved the problem.
I was quite worried about some recurring stomach issues. Dr. Das has such a calm way about him. He listened quietly to all my concerns, even the silly ones I was embarrassed to mention. His explanations were simple and he made sure I understood the plan. Leaving his room, I felt much lighter, like a weight was off my shoulders. He has a very reassuring presence.
After weeks of feeling run-down and dizzy, Dr. Das figured out it was a vitamin deficiency. I got the results, started the supplements he suggested, and wow, what a difference! I have my energy back. He really took the time to connect the dots when I just thought I was 'getting old'. So glad I went to see him.
My father was admitted with a high fever and confusion. The emergency was busy, and we were scared. Dr. Pattnaik came to see him late in the evening, after what felt like a long wait. He didn't just talk to us; he sat down and drew a simple diagram on a notepad to explain what might be happening with the infection. He called my mother the next morning with an update before we even got to the hospital. That meant the world to us. He treated my dad, and more importantly, he treated our family's worry.
Took my wife in for persistent abdominal pain. Other doctors had been vague. Dr. Saroj Kumar Pattnaik was different. He listened, asked specific questions, and laid out a clear plan: first this test, then possibly that one, and here's why. No sugar-coating, no unnecessary alarm. The parking at Apollo was full that day, which was frustrating, but the directness and clarity from the doctor cut through all that. We left with a path forward, which was exactly what we needed.
Our young son had a bad reaction to some medication. I was so frightened. Dr. Pattnaik has a very calm way about him. He spoke softly, never rushed us, and explained everything in such a gentle manner. He made sure I understood each step before he took it. When my son started to improve, Dr. Pattnaik gave a small, quiet smile and just said, 'He's going to be alright now.' That moment of quiet reassurance is what I'll remember most.
After weeks of feeling run-down and getting nowhere, I saw Dr. Pattnaik. He actually figured it out! It was a vitamin deficiency, something simple that got missed. I was so relieved I almost cried in his office. He didn't make it a big deal; he just said, 'Good, we found it. Let's get you fixed up.' The treatment was straightforward, and I felt better within days. It's amazing what a difference it makes when a doctor really listens and knows what to look for.
I've been seeing Dr. Panda for my blood pressure for about eight years now, since he was at a smaller clinic. I followed him to Apollo. That's the thing—you find a doctor who listens, really listens, and you stick with them. He remembers my history, my family, and never rushes me. In a world where everything changes, having that one consistent, reliable point of care means everything.
At my age, one becomes rather apprehensive about hospital visits. Dr. Tanmaya Panda, however, put me quite at ease. He explained my arthritis medication in simple terms and was very patient with my questions. The staff at Apollo were also very kind. I left feeling properly looked after, which is a relief.
Had a nasty stomach bug last month. Went to Apollo, saw Dr. Panda. He was straight to the point, figured it out fast, gave me a prescription that actually worked. No fuss. Good doctor.
So, I woke up with this crushing chest pain. Panicked, drove myself to Apollo—bad idea, parking was a nightmare. By the time I got to Dr. Panda, I was a sweaty, nervous wreck. He calmly asked a few questions, listened to my heart, then did this thing where he pressed on my rib. Turns out I'd just pulled a muscle coughing. He saw how embarrassed I was and just said, 'Better safe than sorry, but your heart is strong.' Spent the rest of the time showing me some stretches. Left feeling silly but incredibly relieved.
Our two-year-old, Rohan, had been running a fever that just wouldn't break for five days. We were terrified. At Apollo, we waited a bit in the lobby, which felt like forever when your kid is burning up. Dr. Kaliprasad saw us, and the first thing he did was get down to Rohan's level and talk softly to him. He didn't just look at the chart; he watched how Rohan was breathing, asked us about tiny details we hadn't even thought to mention. He explained everything to us in simple terms—why he was choosing a certain medicine, what to watch for at home. He called us himself the next evening to check in. Seeing our little boy finally smile and eat again... that was everything. Dr. Kaliprasad treated our child like his own.
Severe abdominal pain. Went to Apollo's emergency. Saw Dr. Kaliprasad Sathapathy. He was direct. Asked clear questions, did a thorough physical exam. Ordered the right tests, no unnecessary ones. Explained the diagnosis (gastritis) and the treatment plan clearly. Followed up in a week, pain was gone. Efficient. Knew his job. Good doctor.
I was quite nervous about my persistent cough and the weakness that came with it. Dr. Sathapathy has such a calm way about him. He listened without rushing me, even when I fumbled over my words. He took his time during the examination and spoke so gently about what might be going on. It wasn't anything serious, thankfully, just needed some rest and the right care. His manner really put me at ease. I left feeling much lighter, both in body and mind. Thank you, Doctor.
Honestly, I was a mess! I had this weird rash and joint pain, and Dr. Google had me convinced it was something awful. The parking at Apollo was packed that day, which didn't help my mood. But Dr. Kaliprasad? What a guy! He took one look, asked a few smart questions, and just chuckled kindly. Said it was a classic case of a viral reaction, nothing to lose sleep over. His confidence was contagious! He laid out a simple plan, and within three days, I was back to normal. Huge relief! Felt like a weight lifted off my shoulders. 10/10, would definitely recommend him to anyone!
