Dr. Arjun Ashok

I'd been to three other doctors for this weird, constant fatigue and joint pain. Everyone said it was stress. Dr. Arjun Ashok at Apollo actually listened, asked a ton of questions I hadn't been asked before, and ordered some specific tests. Turns out it was something pretty rare. He explained it all with a diagram on his notepad, didn't rush me, and I finally feel like we have a real path forward. The relief is huge.

Had to get a minor cyst removed. Honestly, I was more nervous about the hospital experience than the procedure itself. But Dr. Ashok made it simple. The whole thing at Apollo Greams Road was over in what felt like 20 minutes. He talked me through each step as he was doing it, which kept my mind off things. Sore for a couple days, but it healed cleanly. Just a straightforward, good experience.

The parking at Apollo was a nightmare that day, completely full. I arrived flustered and late for my appointment. But from the front desk to the nurse who took my vitals, everyone was really calm and kind about it. The clinic area itself felt clean and quiet, which helped me settle down. When Dr. Ashok came in, he’d clearly been briefed because his first words were, 'Rough morning with the traffic, huh?' That small acknowledgment meant a lot.

What I remember most is how he sat down. Other doctors stay standing, hand on the door. Dr. Ashok pulls up a chair, looks you in the eye, and just... talks. Like a normal person. When I told him I was scared about some test results, he didn't just dismiss it. He said, 'That's completely understandable. Let's look at this together.' It's the first time I didn't feel like just a chart in a room.
