My dad was admitted under Dr. Shankar. I was really scared, but he took the time to explain everything to me and my sister in simple terms. He even called us after his evening rounds just to give an update. The nurses said he's always like that with families. It made a tough situation so much easier.

Had my gallbladder out with Dr. Shankar. The first day was rough, I won't lie, but his team had a clear plan for the pain and got me moving quickly. He checked on me twice a day and actually listened when I said what was working and what wasn't. I was home in two days and the recovery has been straightforward.

I'd been putting off seeing someone about this stomach pain for months. Finally went to Apollo and got Dr. Shankar. The waiting room was packed, so I was braced for a rushed appointment. But he wasn't like that at all. He asked a lot of questions, even about my job stress, and really pieced it together. He explained how diet and anxiety were playing off each other. Gave me a practical plan, not just a prescription. I'm feeling much better now, and I actually understand why.
