Patient Experience
I'd been to a few doctors about this persistent stomach pain and fatigue, and everyone just said it was stress. Dr. Ragavan was different. He actually listened, asked a bunch of questions I hadn't been asked before, and ordered some specific tests others hadn't. Turns out it was a tricky gallbladder issue that wasn't showing up on the usual scans. He explained it in a way that finally made sense. I'm just relieved someone figured it out.
Had to get a small cyst removed from my back. Honestly, I was pretty nervous about the whole thing. But Dr. Ragavan's team at Apollo made it really straightforward. The procedure itself was quick, and he talked me through each step so I knew what was happening. The parking lot was packed that day, but once I got inside, everything moved smoothly. It healed up just fine, no fuss.
The place itself (Apollo on Greams Road) is nice and clean, which helps when you're feeling anxious. But what really stood out was the front desk lady and the nurse who took my vitals. They were so calm and kind, even though they were clearly busy. They answered my basic questions without making me feel like I was bothering them. It set a good tone before I even saw the doctor.
My first meeting with Dr. Ragavan, I was a bit of a wreck. He has this very calm, quiet way about him. He didn't rush me at all, even though I know his schedule must be tight. He sat down, looked at me, not just my file, and let me get my worries out. He didn't sugarcoat things, but he also didn't make it sound scary. That kind of straightforward, human approach is what I needed.
