Patient Experience
My father, 78, had a persistent fever that wouldn't break. We were worried sick. Dr. Bharathi Sezhian saw him at Apollo Tondiarpet. She didn't just talk to us; she drew a little diagram on a notepad to explain what might be happening inside his body. She called me herself the next evening with the test results, before we even had to ask. It was just a stubborn infection, but her way of explaining it took a huge weight off our shoulders. The hospital was busy that day, but she made us feel like we had all the time we needed.
Took my wife in for what we thought was just severe fatigue. Dr. Sezhian listened quietly, asked very specific questions about things we hadn't even thought were connected—like her skin and her sleep. She ordered the right tests, straight away. When the results pointed to a thyroid issue, her explanation was so clear. No confusing jargon. She laid out the treatment plan step-by-step. My wife started improving within weeks. We're both so relieved. It's the first time a doctor made us feel truly heard.
Our 10-year-old son had awful stomach pains. Kids' hospitals were packed, so we went to Apollo. I was nervous a general physician wouldn't know about children. Dr. Bharathi Sezhian was wonderful. She got down to his level, talked to him about his school and cartoons first. She figured out it was a food intolerance, not something scary. She gave him a choice between two medicines, which made him feel in control. Parking was a nightmare that morning, but honestly, after the appointment, we didn't even care. She was kind, smart, and fixed him.
After my mom's fall, we needed a doctor to manage her overall recovery. A friend recommended Dr. Sezhian. From the first visit, she coordinated everything—checking in with the ortho, reviewing her meds, even asking about mom's mood. She has this calm, direct way of speaking that cuts through the worry. She told us plainly what to expect, good and bad. Mom's doing so much better now, back in her garden. That coordination made all the difference; we weren't juggling different opinions anymore. Just one good doctor steering the ship.
