Patient Experience
I'd been to a couple of doctors about this constant fatigue and weird stomach pain. Everyone said it was stress. Dr. Aravinth Kumar 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 affecting my gut. 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. The procedure itself at Apollo Vanagaram was straightforward. Dr. Kumar talked me through each step, the team was quick, and it was over before I knew it. Recovery was exactly as he said it would be—no surprises. Sometimes simple and smooth is exactly what you need.
The clinic was busy and I had to wait a bit, which I expected. What stood out was how the nurses at the front desk handled it. They were genuinely apologetic about the delay and kept checking in. The whole place at Apollo felt calm and clean, which helped. When I finally saw Dr. Kumar, he didn't rush at all despite the full waiting room.
Look, I'm not great with doctors. I get anxious and clam up. Dr. Kumar has this really calm way about him. He sat down, didn't look at the clock, and just chatted for a minute before even getting to my chart. He remembers small things from past visits, asks about my family. It doesn't feel like he's just treating a symptom, he's checking in on *me*. That means a lot.
