Patient Experience
Been seeing Dr. Amol for my blood pressure for about five years now, ever since I moved to Bilaspur. He remembers everything—doesn't just glance at the chart. I had a weird reaction to a new med last year, and he called me himself on a Sunday to check in and switch it. That's the kind of doctor you stick with. The clinic at Apollo can get busy, sure, but he never makes you feel rushed.
At my age, one does not wish for surprises at the doctor's office. Dr. Padegaonkar has been very reassuring. He explains things in a clear way and always asks if I am comfortable. The nurses at Apollo are kind as well. I feel I am in good hands, which is a relief.
Had a bad stomach thing last month. Went to Apollo, saw Dr. Amol. He figured it out fast, got me on the right pills. No fuss. Felt better in a couple days. Good doc.
I was really nervous—had this lingering cough for weeks and my usual remedies did nothing. The waiting area was packed that morning, which didn't help. But Dr. Padegaonkar was calm. He listened to me list off all my worries, did a thorough check, and then leaned back and said, 'I don't think it's anything serious, but let's do one quick scan to be absolutely sure and give you peace of mind.' He was right, it was just a stubborn infection. It was that he understood I needed the reassurance, not just the prescription, that made the difference.
