Dr. Gopala Krishnan

I'd been to a couple of doctors about this nagging fatigue and pain, and everyone had a different theory. Honestly, I was starting to think it was all in my head. Dr. Gopala Krishnan was different. He actually listened, asked questions about things no one else had, and ordered a specific set of tests. It turned out to be something pretty rare. He explained it to me and my wife in a way we could actually understand, without talking down to us. He didn't just give a name to it; he gave us a clear path forward.

Needed a minor procedure that I was weirdly nervous about. The hospital itself was busy—had to circle for parking—but once I got to the day-care unit, things calmed down. Dr. Krishnan came in, cracked a small joke about my football jersey, and talked me through each step before he did it. The whole thing was over in what felt like minutes. No drama, no fuss. It was exactly what you hope for: straightforward and smooth.

My dad was admitted, and I spent a lot of time at Apollo Greams Road. What stood out, besides Dr. Krishnan's clear updates, was how the nurses and the front desk people handled everything. Even when they were clearly rushed, someone always had a minute to point me in the right direction or explain a form. The place is spotless, sure, but it was the human touches—like the cleaner who remembered my dad liked his window open a certain way—that made a stressful week a bit easier.

Look, I'm not great with doctors. I get quiet and just nod. Dr. Krishnan has this way of sitting back and letting you talk. He doesn't rush you. When he examines you, he tells you exactly what he's doing and why. It sounds simple, but it made me feel like I was part of the process, not just a problem to be solved. He remembered small things I'd mentioned weeks earlier. That kind of attention makes you trust someone.
