My son was admitted with a high fever and we were so scared. Dr. Kathirvel explained everything to us in simple terms, not just medical jargon. He took the time to draw a little diagram on a notepad to show us what was happening. Even when the shift changed, he made sure the new doctor knew our case. It made a stressful time much easier to handle.
As an older person, I am often anxious about hospital visits. Dr. Kathirvel at Apollo Children's was very kind and put me at ease. He listened carefully to my concerns about my recurring cough and did not rush me. His manner was very reassuring, and the treatment he suggested has worked well. I felt respected and well cared for.
Had a good experience with Dr. Kathirvel. My kid had a bad stomach bug. The doc was straight to the point, explained the cause clearly, and the meds worked fast. No fuss, just good care. Would see him again if needed.
We'd been to two other doctors about our daughter's constant tiredness and were getting nowhere. At Apollo, the wait was long and the parking lot was a nightmare, but Dr. Kathirvel was different. He spent the first ten minutes just asking her about her school day and what she liked to do. He connected her symptoms in a way that finally made sense—turned out to be a simple vitamin deficiency everyone else had missed. He called us two days later to check on her, which really surprised us. That personal touch, after we'd felt so dismissed before, meant the world.
