I was a total wreck before my appointment. First time seeing a specialist for my stomach issues and I was convinced it was something awful. Dr. Mathai Thomas just had this calm way about him. He listened, explained everything in simple terms, and didn't rush me at all. Left Apollo Vanagaram feeling like a weight was off my shoulders. He's good at putting scared people at ease.
My 8-year-old son had a high fever that wouldn't break, and we were really worried. Dr. Thomas at Apollo saw him quickly. He was so gentle with my boy, talking to him directly and even making a little joke about his superhero t-shirt. He explained the viral infection to us in a way that made sense and told us exactly what to watch for. Seeing my son smile at the doctor while we were there meant everything. We're so grateful.
Had a persistent cough for weeks. Went to see Dr. Mathai Thomas. He figured it out, gave me a prescription, and I was better in a few days. No fuss, straight to the point. Good doctor.
Okay, so my story starts with me ignoring this nagging pain in my side for way too long. Finally booked an appointment at Apollo Vanagaram, though the parking lot was packed that day. Dr. Thomas walked in, asked his questions, and actually remembered details from my file. He sent me for a scan, and when the results came back, he sat me down and mapped out two possible paths—one simple, one a bit more involved—and let me choose. It wasn't just a diagnosis; he made me feel like I was part of deciding what happened next. That kind of respect is rare.
