At my age, you worry about being a bother. Dr. Palaniswamy never made me feel that way. He took his time, explained things in a way I could understand, and his calm manner put me right at ease. The whole experience at Apollo was very comfortable.

We were so worried when my father was admitted. Dr. Palaniswamy made sure to find us in the waiting area every day, even just for a minute, to tell us what was happening in plain language. He didn't just treat the patient; he looked after the whole family. That meant the world to us.

Saw Dr. Palaniswamy for a stubborn stomach issue. He's good. Listened, asked the right questions, didn't push unnecessary tests. Got a clear plan, and it worked. Parking at Apollo is always a hassle, but the doc was worth it.

I'd been feeling run-down for months, just not myself. My usual check-ups showed nothing. I went to Dr. Palaniswamy feeling a bit defeated. He spent nearly an hour going over everything, even things I thought were unrelated. He connected dots my other doctor missed—turned out to be a simple vitamin deficiency. I had to wait a bit past my appointment time, but it was because he gives that kind of attention to everyone. I left with answers, not just a prescription.
