Patient Experience
I'd been to three other doctors about this constant fatigue and stomach pain. They all said it was stress. Dr. Selvakumar actually listened, asked a lot of questions I hadn't been asked before, and ordered some specific tests. Turns out it was a tricky thyroid issue combined with a mild food intolerance. He explained it in a way that finally made sense. I'm on a simple treatment plan now and feel like myself again.
Needed a basic mole removal on my back. I was nervous, I'll admit, but the whole thing was over in maybe twenty minutes. Dr. Selvakumar talked me through each step, the local anesthetic stung for a second, and that was the worst of it. The stitches were neat, healing was straightforward, and the follow-up was quick. Sometimes simple things are just done well, no drama.
The Apollo waiting area was busy, as you'd expect, but very clean. What stood out was the nurse at the front desk. I was a bit flustered because parking was full and I was late. She was so calm, got me sorted quickly, and even remembered my name when I left. It's those small things that make a stressful visit feel more manageable. The doctor was great, but the staff really set the tone.
My 10-year-old was terrified of doctors. Dr. Selvakumar didn't just talk to me; he crouched down to my son's level, asked him about his school and his favorite cricket player before even looking at his throat. He let my boy hold the tongue depressor. There was no pressure, just a calm, kind conversation. My son left saying doctors aren't so bad. That meant more to me than any medicine.
