Dr. Geetha Lakshmipathy

I'd been to a couple of doctors about this nagging fatigue and stomach thing, and everyone just said it was stress. Dr. Geetha actually sat and listened, really listened, to all these weird little symptoms I thought were separate. She ordered some specific tests others hadn't, and it turned out to be a thyroid issue combined with a mild food intolerance. It wasn't dramatic, but it was complicated, and she pieced it together. I finally feel like myself again.

Just needed a basic mole check and removal. I was in and out of Apollo Greams Road pretty quick. Dr. Geetha explained exactly what she was going to do, the local anesthetic pinched for a second, and that was it. The whole thing felt very standard, no fuss. Got the results back in a week, all clear. Sometimes you just want something simple to be simple, and it was.

I'll be honest, I was dreading the hospital visit. The parking at Apollo was a bit of a hunt that morning. But once I got inside, the front desk people were really patient helping me find my way. The nurse who took my vitals was chatting about the rain to distract me, which was kind. It made the wait for Dr. Geetha less nerve-wracking. The place just felt calm, not chaotic.

What I remember most is that she didn't look at her computer the whole time. When I told Dr. Geetha I was scared about the blood test results, she turned her chair fully to face me and just said, 'Let's talk about what you're scared of, specifically.' She didn't rush me. She has this quiet way of explaining things that makes them less frightening. You feel like a person, not a chart.
