Patient Experience
I'd been to a couple of doctors about this constant fatigue and weird stomach pain. Everyone said it was stress. Dr. Sunil Sharma actually listened, asked a ton of questions I hadn't been asked before, and ordered some specific tests. Turns out it was a tricky thyroid issue combined with a mild food intolerance. He explained it all on a notepad, drawing little diagrams. Felt like someone finally put the puzzle together.
Had to get a small cyst removed. Honestly, I was more nervous about the hospital process than the procedure itself. But with Dr. Sharma, it was just... straightforward. He told me exactly what would happen, step by step, no sugar-coating. The whole thing took maybe twenty minutes. I was in and out, and the recovery was exactly as he said it would be. No drama, just good care.
The Apollo waiting area was actually calm, which helped. My mom was with me and the nurse at the front desk, Anjali I think her name was, saw she was anxious and brought her a glass of water without us even asking. Little things like that matter. Even the person who took my blood samples was really gentle and chatted about the weather to distract me. It made a long day much easier.
What I remember most is how Dr. Sharma talked to my young son. My boy was scared of the stethoscope. Instead of just pushing ahead, Dr. Sharma let him listen to his own heartbeat first, then mine. He got down on his haunches to talk to him. He didn't just treat a patient; he made a nervous kid feel safe. That kind of patience is rare.
