I was so scared going in for my first ever check-up. Dr. Appaji just had this calm way about him that made me feel okay. He explained everything without making me feel silly for asking questions. I left feeling like I could actually handle this whole 'being an adult' thing.

He listened with great patience to my various concerns and did not rush me at all. The entire process was conducted with a quiet courtesy that put me at ease. I felt properly looked after.

So, I'd been putting off this general check-up for ages. The parking at Apollo was a nightmare that morning, which put me in a bad mood. By the time I got to Dr. Appaji's room, I was just grumpy. But he was different. He didn't just look at my chart; he asked about my work stress, my sleep, the whole picture. He connected some dots I didn't even know were there. The way he laid out a simple plan made it feel manageable, not overwhelming. It was the first time a doctor's visit felt like a real conversation, not just a transaction.
