Patient Experience
Our two-year-old, Aarav, had been running a high fever for days and was just listless. We were so scared. The Apollo emergency was busy, but once we got to see Dr. Ekambaranath, he was so calm. He didn't just talk to us; he got down on his haunches and spoke softly to Aarav first, which made our boy stop crying. He explained everything about the viral infection in simple terms, told us exactly what to watch for, and even called the next morning to check in. Seeing my child smile again because a doctor took the time to be kind... that means everything.
Had a stubborn skin infection on my leg. Went to Apollo Tondiarpet. Dr. Ekambaranath examined it, asked about my work (I'm a mechanic), prescribed a strong antibiotic cream. Clear instructions: apply twice daily, keep it dry, come back in a week. It worked. No fuss, no unnecessary tests. Got the job done.
I was quite anxious about my persistent stomach issues. Dr. Ekambaranath listened so patiently to all my worries, never made me feel rushed. His clinic was running late that day, but he apologized for the wait. He suggested a gentle course of action first, rather than jumping to scopes. It's been a few weeks now, and following his advice, I feel much better. His quiet, sure way of doing things really put me at ease.
What a relief! I thought I had something seriously wrong—chest tightness, shortness of breath. Panic mode! Dr. Ekambaranath ran the tests, all clear, and then he actually sat me down and talked about anxiety and how it can physically manifest. He gave me some breathing techniques right there in the room! It wasn't just 'here's a pill.' He addressed the real root of it for me. I walked out of that hospital feeling lighter than I have in months. Brilliant doctor!
