Patient Experience
Honestly, I was a bit of a wreck before my appointment. I'd never seen a specialist before and my mind was racing with worst-case scenarios. The waiting area at Apollo was busy, which didn't help my nerves. But from the moment Dr. Dhanaraj walked in, he just had this calm way about him. He didn't rush me, even when I stumbled over my words explaining my symptoms. He listened, asked simple questions, and explained everything in a way that actually made sense. He said, 'Let's just figure this out together, step by step.' I walked out feeling like a weight was lifted, not because I had all the answers yet, but because I finally felt like someone was actually listening and on my side.
Had a persistent stomach issue for weeks. Booked an appointment with Dr. Dhanaraj M. at Apollo Greams Road. Clinic was running about 20 minutes behind, which was noted. Consultation was efficient. He reviewed my history, asked specific questions, ordered the necessary tests. Explained the likely causes clearly without unnecessary detail. Prescribed a course of treatment. Follow-up was scheduled. Issue resolved in about ten days. He's direct, knows his stuff, and gets the job done. Would see him again if needed.
I'm not one to make a fuss, but I felt I should say something. Dr. Dhanaraj was... very kind. I was quite worried about some test results, and he could tell. He took the time to go through each line with me, using plain words. His manner was very gentle. Even the nurse commented later on how patient he was. The hospital is a big place and can feel impersonal, but in his room, I felt cared for. It made a difficult time much easier to bear. Thank you.
What a difference! I'd been dealing with this nagging fatigue and just feeling 'off' for months, trying to brush it off. My wife finally pushed me to see someone. Got an appointment with Dr. Dhanaraj. Man, he was thorough! Asked about things I wouldn't have even thought to mention. Turns out it was a simple vitamin deficiency that was throwing everything out of whack. Started the supplements he suggested, and within a couple of weeks, I felt like myself again. So glad I went! He's sharp, friendly, and actually solved the problem. Fantastic experience.
