Patient Experience
I'd been to a couple of doctors for this nagging fatigue and low fever. Everyone said it was stress. Dr. Deepak Raghavan was different. He actually listened, asked about a trip I'd taken months ago, and ordered some specific tests others hadn't. Turned out it was a tricky parasitic thing. He explained it all without making me feel stupid, and the treatment worked. I'm just glad he was so thorough.
Had to get a cyst removed from my back. Honestly, I was nervous at first, but Dr. Raghavan made it simple. The whole thing took maybe twenty minutes in his clinic at Apollo. He talked me through each step, the local anesthetic did its job, and I was out the door with clear instructions. It healed up perfectly. Sometimes straightforward is exactly what you need.
The appointment was early, and I remember the parking garage at Apollo Greams Road was completely full—had to circle for a while. But once I got inside, the front desk people were really patient helping me find my way. The nurse who took my vitals was cheerful and calmed me down. Even the waiting area was quiet, which helped. It made seeing the doctor less stressful.
What stuck with me about Dr. Raghavan was how he talked to my elderly father. Dad gets confused easily and hates hospitals. Dr. Raghavan didn't rush. He sat down, made eye contact, and explained his new medication in the simplest terms, checking if Dad understood. He had this calm, respectful way about him that put us all at ease. It meant a lot.
