Patient Experience
I was so scared going in for my first check-up. Dr. Sahoo just had this calm way about him, didn't rush me at all, and explained everything in simple words. I left feeling like a weight was off my shoulders.
Been seeing Dr. Sahoo for my blood pressure for about eight years now. He remembers my history, asks about my family, and his advice has always been steady and sensible. That kind of consistency is hard to find.
Needed a quick check-up. Dr. Sahoo was direct, got to the point, and gave clear instructions. No fuss. Exactly what I wanted.
I went to Apollo with this nagging stomach pain that came and went. The waiting area was packed, so I was a bit impatient. But Dr. Sahoo listened to my whole story, asked really specific questions about my diet and stress, and pieced it together. He suggested a simple diet change first instead of jumping to tests. It worked. Felt like he actually solved a puzzle.
Had my gallbladder out last month. The first few days were rough, I won't lie. Dr. Sahoo's team had a clear plan for the pain meds, and he checked on me every day to adjust it. He explained what the soreness meant and when it was normal versus when to worry. It made the recovery less scary. I'm moving much easier now, just taking it slow.
Visited for severe abdominal pain. Dr. Sahoo was direct. Ordered tests, found the issue was my appendix. Explained the surgery steps clearly, no sugar-coating. I appreciated that. Procedure was smooth. Follow-up was brief but covered all necessary points. Problem solved.
I was quite nervous about needing stitches for a deep cut on my arm. Dr. Sahoo had a very calm manner. He talked softly through each step, which helped me stay still. His hands were steady, and he made sure I was comfortable. It was a kindness I won't forget.
After weeks of worrying about some persistent stomach issues, seeing Dr. Sahoo was a huge relief! He listened, asked the right questions, and figured it out—just a manageable food intolerance. He gave me a straightforward plan. I feel so much better now, and I'm just glad to have answers!
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.
I'd been to a couple of doctors with this weird mix of fatigue and joint pain, and everyone just said it was stress. Dr. Satpathy was different. He actually listened to everything, asked questions I hadn't even thought of, and ordered some specific tests. Turns out it was something pretty rare. He explained it all on a notepad, drew little diagrams. I was scared, but he laid out a clear plan. I'm on the mend now, and I honestly think he's the only one who would have figured it out.
Had to get a small cyst removed. Honestly, I was more nervous about the hospital experience than the procedure itself. But Dr. Satpathy's team made it so straightforward. The whole thing was over in what felt like minutes. He checked in before and after, the instructions were clear, and the healing was a breeze. It was just... simple. Exactly what you hope for with something routine.
The parking at Apollo was a nightmare that day, completely full, and I arrived flustered for my dad's appointment. But from the front desk to the nurses in Dr. Satpathy's clinic, everyone was so calm and kind. They got us sorted, and the waiting area was actually quiet and clean, which helped my dad relax. It felt like the whole place was working together smoothly, which took a lot of the edge off.
What stuck with me about Dr. Satpathy wasn't just his knowledge—it was how he talked to my elderly mother. He never rushed her. He got down to her eye level, spoke clearly without being patronizing, and made sure she understood every part of her new medication. He has this quiet, patient way about him. You can tell he sees the person, not just the chart.
At my age, you worry about being a bother. Dr. Mohapatra never made me feel that way. He explained my arthritis options clearly, without rushing. The clinic was comfortable, and he has a very calm way about him. I left feeling reassured.
Had my gallbladder out last month. The first few days were rough, but Dr. Mohapatra's team had a clear plan for the pain. He checked on me himself every morning, adjusted meds based on how I was actually feeling, not just a chart. It made the whole recovery process feel manageable. Still sore, but getting better each day.
Look, I hate hospitals. Went in for a nasty stomach thing, dreading the whole thing. Dr. Mohapatra was straight with me—figured it out fast, gave me meds that worked. No fluff. Got me in and out. Parking was a nightmare, but he was good.
I'd been feeling run-down for months. My usual doc retired, so I tried Apollo. Dr. Mohapatra actually listened to my whole history, asked about my work stress, my sleep. He didn't just jump to tests. We talked for a good twenty minutes before he suggested a simple blood panel. Turns out my vitamin levels were way off. Started supplements he recommended, and I feel like myself again. It was that combination of listening and then knowing what to look for.
