My dad was admitted with a bad fever and we were all really scared. Dr. Bala Prakash was the one who actually took the time to explain everything to us in the family room, not just medical terms but what it really meant. He called my sister himself when the test results came in, even though it was late. We felt looked after too, not just the patient.
First time going to a big hospital like Apollo, and I was pretty much freaking out about some stomach issues. Dr. Bala Prakash just had this calm way about him. He listened to all my probably-silly worries without making me feel rushed. Left his clinic feeling like I could actually handle this, which is a big deal for me.
Had a persistent cough that wouldn't quit. Saw Dr. Bala Prakash at Apollo Greams Road. He was straight to the point, figured it out fast. Got the right meds, cough cleared up in a few days. Good experience.
It started with just feeling run down for weeks. My wife finally made me book an appointment. The waiting area was packed, I'll be honest. But once I got in, Dr. Prakash didn't just glance at my file. He asked about my work stress, my sleep, things I didn't even think were connected. He pieced it together like a quiet detective—turned out it was a vitamin deficiency and mild anxiety feeding off each other. His treatment plan was simple: supplements and some real talk about managing my schedule. Felt like he saw the whole picture, not just the symptoms on the chart.
