Patient Experience
My son had his first ever fever and I was a total wreck. Dr. Meena was so calm. She explained everything in simple terms, showed me how to check his temperature properly, and didn't make me feel silly for being so worried. We left feeling like we could handle it.
Had my appendix out at Apollo. The first couple days were rough, but Dr. Thiagarajan's team had a clear plan for the pain. She checked on me twice a day, adjusted meds based on how I was actually feeling, not just a chart. The follow-up call a week later was a nice touch—made sure I was healing okay at home.
Saw Dr. Meena for a bad sinus infection. Got in, got checked, got a prescription that actually worked. No fuss. She listens, fixes the problem, moves on. What more do you want? Parking at the hospital is always a nightmare though.
My 8-year-old, Rohan, had been complaining of stomach aches for weeks. Our local doc said it was just anxiety. We went to see Dr. Thiagarajan at Apollo Children's. She spent a good 20 minutes just talking to Rohan about school, his friends, what he ate for lunch. He opened up to her in a way he hadn't with anyone else. She ordered one specific test based on that chat—turns out it was a mild food intolerance. She explained it to him like he was a scientist, drew a little picture of his digestive system. He felt in control. No more stomach aches. We're so grateful she took the time to really listen to a kid.
