Patient Experience
Our 8-year-old, Rohan, had been having these awful stomach pains for weeks. We saw a couple of doctors and nothing helped. I was a wreck. Dr. Shrivas at Apollo Bilaspur actually sat on the edge of the bed and talked to Rohan like a person, not just a chart. He figured out it was a food intolerance we never would have guessed. He explained everything to us, the parents, without any scary medical jargon. My kid isn't scared of doctors anymore because of him.
I hate going to the doctor, always have. My hands were actually sweating in the waiting room. But Dr. Shrivas? Completely different. He walked in, gave a little smile, and just said 'So, what's bothering you?' in this calm way. He listened to my whole rambling story about my constant fatigue. Didn't rush me at all. Left feeling like I'd actually been heard, and with a clear plan. Huge relief.
Had a nasty skin infection on my leg. Went to Dr. Shrivas. Got it checked, got the right meds. It cleared up in a week. No fuss, good service. Would go again if needed.
It started with just feeling off—tired, no appetite. I put it off for a month, telling myself it was just work stress. Finally dragged myself to Apollo. The parking was a nightmare, which didn't help my mood. Dr. Shrivas had this quiet, methodical way about him. He asked questions I hadn't even thought to connect, like about some mild joint pain I'd dismissed. Ordered a couple of specific blood tests. Turns out, it was a vitamin deficiency and a mild thyroid thing. The way he pieced it together from my vague symptoms, without any drama, really impressed me. Started treatment, and I'm finally feeling like myself again. It wasn't some big dramatic cure, just good, solid detective work.
