Patient Experience
I'd been to three different doctors about this constant fatigue and stomach pain. Everyone said it was stress. Dr. Anshu Bansal actually listened, asked a ton of questions I hadn't been asked before, and ordered some specific tests. Turns out it was a tricky thyroid issue combined with a mild food intolerance. She explained the whole link in a way that finally made sense. I'm on the right track now, and it's a huge relief.
Had to get a small cyst removed from my back. Honestly, I was nervous about the whole thing—needles and all that. The procedure itself at Apollo Firstmed was over before I knew it. Dr. Bansal kept talking me through it, just casual chat about Chennai traffic, which really helped. The stitches were neat, healing was straightforward. It was one of those things you dread that ends up being a total non-event.
The hospital itself was busy, parking was a bit of a hunt, I won't lie. But once I got inside for my appointment, the difference was clear. The front desk staff found my file quickly when I'd forgotten my reference number, and the nurse who took my vitals was really kind, noticed I seemed anxious and offered some water. It's those small things that make a stressful visit feel more manageable. Dr. Bansal's clinic runs like a well-oiled machine.
What stuck with me most about Dr. Bansal was how she never made me feel rushed. I had a list of questions, the kind you Google and scare yourself with. She sat down, looked me in the eye, and went through each one without glancing at the clock. She even drew a little diagram on her notepad to show me what was going on. You don't always get that kind of time and patience from a doctor, and it meant everything.
