Doctor: Dr. M Saravanan Hospital: Apollo Hospitals Greams Road

I've been seeing Dr. Saravanan for my diabetes and blood pressure for over eight years now, ever since he was at a smaller clinic. I followed him to Apollo. That's the thing—you find a doctor who gets your whole history, who remembers that your knee acts up in the cold, and you stick with them. The appointments are straightforward, he explains adjustments to my meds clearly, and I never feel rushed. It's just solid, reliable care. The hospital's big and can feel impersonal, but walking into his room feels familiar.

As a project manager with back-to-back calls, I needed a doctor who respects time and cuts to the chase. Dr. Saravanan is exactly that. I came in with a persistent sinus issue that was affecting my sleep and work. He diagnosed it quickly, prescribed a treatment plan that actually worked, and didn't push for unnecessary follow-ups. The whole visit, from check-in to pharmacy, was efficient. Apollo parking is always a hassle, but for a clear result in one visit, it was worth it.

Look, I don't go to the doctor often. Had a weird stomach pain that wouldn't quit, so my wife made the appointment. Dr. Saravanan was good. No fancy talk, just asked straight questions, poked around, figured it was a gastritis flare-up. Got some meds, felt better in a couple days. He’s direct, which I like. Would see him again if I had to.

Doctor: Dr. M Saravanan Hospital: Apollo Hospitals Greams Road

My experience was a bit of a journey. I'd been feeling run-down for months—just low energy, not myself. I was nervous it was something serious. At Apollo, Dr. Saravanan didn't just brush it off. He sat and listened to everything, ordered the right blood tests, and called me himself with the results to explain it was a significant vitamin B12 deficiency. He walked me through the injection therapy, and what really stuck with me was how he checked in a few weeks later to see if my energy levels had improved. They had. He treated the problem, but also the worry that came with it.
