Our three-year-old, Arjun, had been running a high fever for days and was just so listless. We were terrified. Dr. Jameel Akhter at Apollo was the first doctor who didn't just rush us out. He sat on the edge of the bed, talked softly to Arjun about his toy car, and examined him so gently my son didn't even cry. He explained everything to us in simple terms—what the blood tests showed, why the specific antibiotic was needed. The ward was busy, and we did wait a bit for the final discharge papers, but the care during our stay was consistent and kind. Seeing Arjun smile again and eat his favorite biscuits was everything. Dr. Akhter treated our child, and calmed two very scared parents.
Severe abdominal pain brought me to Apollo's emergency department. Dr. Jameel Akhter was assigned to my case. He was direct, asked clear questions, and ordered the right scans quickly. Diagnosis: acute appendicitis. He outlined the surgery plan, the risks, and the recovery timeline without any sugar-coating. I appreciated that. The surgery went smoothly. His post-op checks were brief but focused; he’d ask about pain levels, check the incision, and adjust medication if needed. No unnecessary chat, just efficient, competent care. I was discharged on schedule. He solved the problem.
I was quite anxious about my persistent stomach issues. Meeting Dr. Akhter put me at ease. He has a very quiet, listening way about him. He didn't interrupt as I explained all my worries, and he nodded along, taking notes. His questions were thoughtful, and he suggested a step-by-step approach, starting with diet changes before any invasive tests. He said, 'Let's try the simpler path first.' It felt considerate, not rushed. Even when the reception area was a little loud, he kept his voice calm and steady. The plan worked, and my follow-up visit was just as peaceful. I'm very grateful for his careful approach.
Honestly, I was a mess! I had this weird collection of symptoms—fatigue, joint pain, low-grade fever—and my local doctor was stumped. I went to Apollo and got Dr. Jameel Akhter. Man, what a relief! He connected dots others missed, asked about a camping trip I'd taken months ago. Turns out, it was Lyme disease! He got me on the right treatment straight away. The difference was night and day. I'm back to my old energy levels, hitting the gym again. The hospital parking is always a nightmare, but who cares? The guy figured it out! I feel fantastic.
