Dr. Manjushree Nayak

I'd been to three other doctors with these weird, scattered symptoms—fatigue, some joint pain, nothing that seemed connected. Dr. Manjushree Nayak was the first one who really listened and started piecing it together like a puzzle. She ordered a specific set of tests the others hadn't thought of, and it turned out to be a rare autoimmune condition. It was scary, but finally having a name for it and a clear plan from her at Apollo made all the difference. She didn't sugarcoat it, but she made it feel manageable.

Had to get a mole on my back checked and removed. Honestly, I was more nervous about the whole hospital process than the procedure itself. Parking at Apollo was a nightmare that day, had to circle for ages. But once I got in, Dr. Nayak's team had it all sorted. The removal itself took maybe ten minutes. She explained every step as she went, the numbing shot was the worst part, and then it was done. Follow-up was straightforward. Just a smooth, no-fuss experience, which is exactly what you want for something routine.

What stood out for me, besides Dr. Nayak's skill, was the whole environment at Apollo Cancer Centre. My husband was with me for appointments, and the nurses at the front desk always remembered his name, which was a small thing that meant a lot. The place is busy, sure, but it doesn't feel chaotic. There's a quiet efficiency to it. Even the person who brought the tea around had a kind word. It made the stressful visits feel a little less cold and clinical.

Look, I'm not great with doctors. I get tongue-tied and forget my questions. Dr. Nayak has this way of sitting down, making full eye contact, and just... waiting. She lets you get your thoughts out. She never made me feel rushed or silly for asking something. When she explained my treatment options, she drew a simple diagram on a notepad. It wasn't fancy, but it helped me understand more than any brochure. Her calmness is actually contagious.
