My son had a high fever and I was a complete mess, first-time mom panic. The waiting area was packed and I was nearly in tears. Dr. Jegadeesh just had this calm way about him. He explained everything about the viral infection in simple terms, told me exactly what to watch for, and didn't make me feel silly for being so worried. We left feeling like we could actually handle it.

My family has been seeing Dr. Jegadeesh at Apollo for about eight years now, since my oldest was a toddler. He remembers their histories, asks about school, and never rushes us. That consistency is everything. You don't have to re-explain the whole story every visit. When he suggests something, we trust it because he's always been straight with us.

Took my kid in for a bad cough. Dr. Jegadeesh was direct, got to the point, and the treatment worked. No fuss. Parking at the hospital is always a hassle, but the appointment itself was efficient.

Doctor: Dr. Jegadeesh Hospital: Apollo Children's Hospital Chennai

My daughter, Maya, woke up with this awful rash all over her chest. I was terrified it was something serious. We got to Apollo and had to wait a bit, which just made my anxiety worse. When Dr. Jegadeesh came in, he took one look, asked a few questions about a new detergent we'd used, and just smiled. He said, 'Classic contact dermatitis. Let's not scare ourselves.' He drew a little diagram on the paper sheet to show how the skin reacts. He gave us a simple cream, and sure enough, it cleared up in two days. It was such a scary morning, but he turned it around with his clear, kind explanation.
