Patient Experience
Had my gallbladder out last month. The surgery itself is a blur, but I remember Dr. Nithyanandam being really clear about what to expect afterwards. The pain plan he set up actually worked—I wasn't just knocked out, I could manage it and start moving. Follow-up was good, he answered all my panicky texts to the hospital portal. Still sore sometimes, but he said that's normal.
At my age, one does not wish to be a bother. Dr. Nithyanandam treated me with great respect and patience during my stay at Apollo Firstmed. He explained my condition regarding the persistent fever in a way I could understand, without rushing me. The nursing staff followed his instructions carefully. I felt properly looked after, which is a comfort when you're not at home.
Went in for a nasty skin infection that wouldn't quit. Dr. Nithyanandam fixed it. No nonsense, told me exactly what it was and how the treatment would work. Prescription did the job. Good doctor.
I'd been putting off seeing someone about this ache in my side for weeks, figuring it was just stress. Finally went to Apollo Firstmed, parking was a nightmare that day. Dr. Nithyanandam didn't just shrug it off. He asked a ton of questions, even some that seemed unrelated, and actually pressed around my abdomen. Turns out it was a mild kidney thing, not serious but needed attention. He drew a little diagram on the paper sheet to show me what was likely happening. What stuck with me was that he called two days later, himself, just to check if the meds were working and the pain was easing. You don't get that often.
