I've been seeing Dr. Nikhilesh for my blood pressure and general health for over eight years now. He remembers the little things from my last visit, asks about my family, and never makes me feel rushed. That kind of consistency is hard to find. I trust his judgment completely because he explains the 'why' behind every suggestion, not just what to do. He's my first call for any health worry.

As someone who manages a team and travels constantly, I need a doctor who gets to the point. Dr. Nikhilesh Krishna does exactly that. I went in with a persistent cough and fatigue. He listened, ordered the right tests, diagnosed a mild infection, and had a clear treatment plan in minutes. No fluff, just effective care. Got me back on my feet fast.

Look, I don't like going to the doctor. Was pretty nervous, honestly. But Dr. Nikhilesh was straight with me. He said, 'Your lifestyle's catching up, here's what we can fix.' No sugar-coating. Parking at Apollo was a nightmare, but the appointment itself was worth it. He's good. I'll go back.

It started with just feeling off—tired all the time, a bit dizzy. I put it off for weeks. Finally saw Dr. Nikhilesh. He spent a good 20 minutes just talking before any exam, asking about my sleep, work stress, everything. He connected dots I didn't see. Turns out it was a mix of things: low iron and bad sleep habits. His nurse was great too, helped sort the follow-up. The whole process, even waiting a bit in the clinic, felt handled with real care. I'm feeling much better now, and it's because he looked at the whole picture, not just one symptom.
