Patient Experience
I've been seeing Dr. Karpaga Vinayagam for my blood pressure and general health for over eight years now. He's at Apollo Karapakkam. What I appreciate most is that he remembers me, remembers my history, and never rushes. I trust his judgment completely because he's consistent. He explains things in a way that makes sense, and if a treatment isn't working, he's the first to suggest a change. That kind of long-term care is hard to find.
Had my gallbladder out last month, and Dr. Vinayagam handled everything. The recovery was rough the first few days, I won't lie. But his instructions for pain management were really clear—what to take, when, what to watch for. He called to check on me after I was discharged, which I wasn't expecting. Follow-up was smooth, and he made sure I understood what was normal and what wasn't during healing. Felt supported the whole way.
Needed a general check-up. Went to Apollo in Karapakkam, saw Dr. Karpaga Vinayagam. He was straightforward, no nonsense. Listened, gave clear advice, prescribed what was needed. Parking was a hassle, but the appointment itself was efficient. Got my questions answered. Would go back.
I went in for what I thought was just a bad stomach ache. Dr. Vinayagam, though, he didn't just brush it off. He asked a lot of questions—about my diet, stress, everything. He actually took the time to listen to me ramble about my work deadlines. Ordered a couple of sensible tests to rule things out. Turned out it was a minor ulcer, likely stress-related. His approach was calm and thorough; he figured it out without jumping to conclusions. The clinic was busy and I waited a bit, but once I was in his room, he gave me his full attention. Started treatment that day and I felt better within a week.
