Patient Experience
I'd been to a couple of doctors for this nagging pain and fatigue, and everyone just said it was stress. Dr. Anil Pande was different. He actually listened, asked a bunch of questions that seemed unrelated, and ordered some specific tests. Turns out it was a thyroid issue that was messing with everything. It wasn't a quick fix, but he explained it in a way that finally made sense. I'm on treatment now and feel like myself again.
Had to get a small cyst removed. Honestly, I was pretty nervous about the whole thing, even though everyone said it was routine. Dr. Pande walked me through exactly what would happen, step by step, which calmed me down. The procedure itself at Apollo OMR was over before I knew it. A bit sore afterwards, sure, but it healed cleanly. It was just a straightforward thing, and that's exactly what I needed.
The parking at Apollo OMR was a nightmare that day, completely full. I was already flustered when I got to the clinic. But the lady at the front desk was really kind about it, and the nurse who took my vitals had a way of making small talk that actually relaxed me. The place felt clean and calm, which helped a lot. By the time I saw Dr. Pande, I wasn't as wound up.
What I remember most is how Dr. Pande talked to my elderly mother. She gets confused easily and was scared. He didn't just talk to me; he sat down, made eye contact with her, and explained her medication using simple words, checking if she understood. He didn't rush her. You could see her shoulders relax. That kind of patience is rare.
