Patient Experience
Had my gallbladder out last month. The surgery itself went fine, but the first few days after were rough. Dr. Balamurugan was really clear about what pain to expect and how to manage it. He didn't just throw pills at me; he explained when to use what and checked in to adjust things. Made a tough recovery feel a lot more manageable.
I've been seeing Dr. Balamurugan for my blood pressure for over five years now. What I appreciate is that he remembers me, remembers my history, and doesn't jump to change things unless there's a good reason. He's steady. In a world where doctors seem to rush you out, he takes the time to listen. That consistency is why I keep coming back.
Needed a general check-up and got referred to Dr. Balamurugan at Apollo OMR. Straightforward guy. Listened to my concerns, ordered the right tests, explained the results without any fluff. Parking at the hospital is always a hassle, but the appointment itself was efficient. Got what I needed, no drama.
I was really nervous about some persistent stomach issues. From the first visit, Dr. Balamurugan just had a calm way about him. He walked me through all the possibilities, never making me feel silly for worrying. We did some tests over a few weeks—the hospital admin side could be slow, I won't lie—but he personally called with results instead of leaving it to an assistant. He figured out it was a food intolerance I never would have guessed. Felt like he was genuinely solving a puzzle with me, not just processing a patient.
