Patient Experience
I was a total wreck before my appointment. First time seeing a specialist and I had no idea what to expect. Dr. Chitra just had this calm way about her. She explained everything in simple terms, didn't rush me, and by the time I left, I felt like a weight was off my shoulders. The hospital was busy but she made the time.
My 8-year-old had a high fever that wouldn't break, and we were really scared. Dr. Chitra at Apollo Vanagaram was so good with him. She got down to his level, talked to him about his favorite cartoons while she checked him, and made him laugh. She explained the treatment plan to us clearly, answered all our panicked questions without making us feel silly. We're just so grateful she was the one we saw.
Had a persistent cough. Saw Dr. J Chitra. She was straightforward, ordered the right tests, fixed me up. No fuss, got the job done. Would go back if needed.
Okay, so this stomach issue had been bothering me for weeks. I kept putting off seeing someone because, you know, life. Finally booked with Dr. Chitra. The waiting area was packed that day, I almost rescheduled. Glad I didn't. She listened to my whole history, asked specific questions I hadn't even thought were related. She connected dots between my diet and stress at work. Gave me a practical plan, not just a prescription. Followed up with a call herself to check in. It wasn't just about the medicine; she helped me figure out the 'why' behind it all.
