Our son was just eight when we first met Dr. Kathiresan. The waiting area was packed, and I was a mess, honestly. But when he came in, he got right down on my boy's level, talked to him about his favorite cartoons before he even looked at the chart. He explained the treatment plan to us in a way that didn't make us feel stupid for asking the same questions over and over. There were long days, and sometimes we had to wait a bit for our slot, but he never rushed us. He remembered small things about my son from visit to visit. It wasn't just about the medicine; it felt like he was caring for our whole family through this.
Had a complex abdominal issue. Other doctors were vague. Went to Apollo Cancer Centre. Dr. Kathiresan reviewed my file, ordered specific tests others missed. Explained the situation clearly: options, risks, recovery timeline. Surgery went as planned. Follow-up was direct. No sugar-coating, which I prefer. Parking at the hospital is a hassle, but the care was efficient. I'm recovering well.
I was so frightened when I received my diagnosis. My voice would hardly work in the consultations. Dr. Kathiresan... he has a very calm way about him. He listened more than he spoke, and when he did, his words were careful and kind. He never made me feel like just another case. Even when the news was difficult, he presented it with a gentleness that made it bearable. The hospital is very big and can feel impersonal, but in his room, I always felt seen. I am so grateful for his quiet strength.
What a difference! I was dragging myself around for months before my GP sent me to Dr. Kathiresan. He figured out the problem in two visits – it was such a relief to finally have a name for it! The team got me scheduled fast, and the procedure itself was smoother than I'd imagined. I was back on my feet in no time. Seriously, he knows his stuff. I've already told my brother to see him if he ever needs a specialist. Feeling like myself again!
