Patient Experience
Our two-year-old, Aarav, had been running a high fever for days and was just so listless. We were terrified. At the hospital, Dr. Muthukumaran was so calm. He didn't just look at the chart; he sat with us, listened to every little detail about Aarav's habits, and explained the possible infections in a way we could understand. He checked Aarav so gently, even when he was fussy. It turned out to be a tricky viral thing. The doctor called us himself the next day to check in. Seeing Aarav smile again felt like a miracle, and that doctor's kindness in our worst moment made all the difference.
My son had a persistent stomach issue. Saw Dr. Muthukumaran at Apollo Children's. He was direct, asked clear questions, and ordered the right tests. No unnecessary drama. Explained the diagnosis (a food intolerance) and the treatment plan clearly. Followed up as scheduled. Problem is resolved. Good, efficient care.
We came from a smaller town, quite anxious about our daughter's slow weight gain. Dr. Muthukumaran has such a quiet, patient way about him. He never made us feel rushed or silly for our worries. He went through her growth chart with us point by point, suggesting small changes to her diet. He remembered her name and our concerns at the follow-up. It’s not a quick fix, but under his care, we feel supported and hopeful. The hospital is big and busy, but in his room, it felt peaceful.
What a scare! Our little Rohan suddenly developed this awful rash and was itching non-stop. We rushed to Apollo, and honestly, the parking was a nightmare that day. But from the moment Dr. Muthukumaran walked in, we felt better. He took one look and said, 'Ah, I've seen this before,' with a reassuring smile. He knew exactly what it was—some allergic reaction—and got him started on treatment right away. The change was unbelievable; the rash started fading within hours! We're so, so relieved. He's fantastic!
