Dr. Leela Praveen Kumar K

I'd been to three other doctors with this weird fatigue and stomach pain. Everyone said it was stress. Dr. Leela Praveen Kumar actually sat and listened, asked questions about things no one else did, like the specific timing of the pain. He ordered a different set of tests and figured out it was a rare type of celiac disease. It wasn't a quick fix, but finally having a real answer after two years of feeling awful was everything.

Had to get a small cyst removed from my back. Honestly, I was nervous at first, but Dr. Kumar made it so simple. He explained each step in the room, the local anesthetic pinched for a second, and before I knew it he was done. The whole thing took maybe twenty minutes. I was in and out, and the follow-up call from his nurse to check on the stitches was a nice touch.

The Apollo waiting area was packed, I won't lie. But once I got in, the whole team was really on the ball. The front desk sorted my paperwork fast, and the nurse who took my vitals was so kind—she could see I was anxious and just chatted about normal stuff. It made the big hospital feel a bit more personal. Dr. Kumar's clinic there runs like a well-oiled machine.

What stuck with me about Dr. Kumar was how he talked to my elderly father. He didn't just talk to me. He got down on his level, spoke clearly without being patronizing, and drew a little diagram on his notepad to explain the medication. He has this calm, patient way about him that just puts you at ease. You feel like a person, not a case number.
