I'd been to three other doctors with my stomach issues, and they all said it was stress. Dr. Jothi Shankar actually listened, ordered a different set of tests, and found the problem. It wasn't straightforward, but he explained the whole situation in a way that finally made sense. I felt like I had a real plan for the first time.

The waiting area at Apollo Cancer Centre is actually quite calm, which helped. But what really stood out was the nurse in Dr. Jothi Shankar's clinic. I was confused about the new medication schedule, and she sat with me for ten minutes, wrote it down clearly, and even called the pharmacy to check something. The whole team just works well together.

What I remember most is how Dr. Jothi Shankar talked to my elderly mother. He didn't rush. He pulled his chair up, looked her in the eye, and used simple words without talking down to her. He has this calm way about him that just puts you at ease, even when the news isn't great. You feel like a person, not a case.
