Our son, Arjun, had a persistent fever that wouldn't break. We were scared. Dr. Dhanasekhar saw us at Apollo Children's. He didn't just talk to us; he knelt down to Arjun's level, asked him about his toys. Explained everything in simple Tamil to my mother, who was with us. The medicine he prescribed worked. It was his calmness that helped us most.

My daughter Priya needed some tests. Honestly, the parking at the hospital was a hassle that day. But once we got in to see Dr. Dhanasekhar, he made it easy. He drew a little diagram on paper to show me what was going on with her ears. No complicated terms. He gave us clear options, not just orders. We left feeling we understood and could decide.

What a relief! Our little one had a bad allergic reaction, and we rushed in. Dr. Dhanasekhar was so direct and quick. He told us exactly what he was doing and why, step by step, while treating her. He didn't sugarcoat it, which I actually appreciated because we knew the real situation. Within an hour, she was breathing easier and smiling. Thank you.

We'd been to a couple of doctors for my grandson's stomach issues with no real answers. Dr. Dhanasekhar listened to the whole history, even the bits I thought were small. He was soft-spoken, asked gentle questions. He figured out it was a mild food intolerance everyone had missed. Such a simple fix for so much worry. We're very grateful.
