Dr. Sushil Kumar

For months, I just felt off—tired, achy, no energy. My local doc was stumped. I went to see Dr. Sushil Kumar at Apollo, a bit skeptical honestly. He didn't just glance at my file; he asked about things I hadn't even thought were connected, like this weird rash I'd had. He ordered some specific tests others hadn't. Turns out it was a rare autoimmune thing. He explained it all in plain Hindi, drew me diagrams on his notepad. Started me on treatment that week. I'm not 100% yet, but for the first time, I feel like someone actually figured it out.

I needed my gallbladder out. Pretty standard, they said, but I was still nervous. Dr. Kumar's team walked me through every single step—what to expect when I woke up, the pain management, everything. The surgery itself was, well, surgery. But his follow-up was what got me. He called the evening after to check on me himself, which surprised me. Recovery was straightforward, just like he said it would be. No drama, no complications. Sometimes, boring is exactly what you want from a hospital visit.

Look, the parking at Apollo Bilaspur is always a nightmare, I won't lie. I was flustered by the time I got to the clinic. But the front desk lady, she was so calm. She got me sorted quickly and even joked about the parking struggle. The whole place just feels... calm. It's clean, sure, but it's the nurses on Dr. Kumar's floor that make it. They're quick with a smile, never make you feel like you're bothering them, even for the small stuff. It makes a huge difference when you're feeling vulnerable.

I'm not great with doctors. I get quiet, I forget my questions. Dr. Kumar has this way of just sitting down, making real eye contact, and waiting. He doesn't rush you. When I told him I was scared about some blood pressure readings, he didn't just throw pills at me. He talked about my diet, my work stress, asked about my family. He feels like an old-school family doctor, the kind who remembers you. I left feeling heard, not just processed.
