Patient Experience
My 8-year-old son had a high fever that wouldn't break, and I was a wreck. Dr. Balaraman was so calm with him, explaining everything in a way a kid could understand. He didn't just treat the fever; he checked for everything, asked about school and his friends. The wait was long that day, but he spent just as much time with us as we needed. My son left feeling brave, not scared.
When my mother was admitted, we were all so worried and confused. Dr. Balaraman made a point to find me in the waiting area every single day, even if just for two minutes, to explain her progress in simple terms. He never made us feel like we were bothering him with questions. That direct communication with the family took a huge weight off our shoulders during a really hard time.
Went to Dr. Balaraman for a persistent stomach issue others brushed off. He listened, ordered the right tests, and fixed it. Straightforward guy, clear advice. Parking at Apollo OMR is always a hassle, but the appointment itself was worth it.
I'd been feeling run-down for months—just tired all the time, no energy. My usual check-ups showed nothing. I saw Dr. Balaraman almost on a whim. He spent the first appointment just asking questions, about my work, my sleep, even what I ate for lunch. It felt more like a conversation than an interrogation. He suggested a few specific blood tests others hadn't thought of. Turns out, it was a simple vitamin deficiency. The treatment was easy, but it was his approach to digging for the 'why' that made the difference. I've got my energy back now.
