Dr. Nivas Venkatachalapathi

My 8-year-old son had been having these awful stomach pains for weeks, and our local doctor just kept saying it was a bug. I was so scared. We saw Dr. Nivas at Apollo, and he was just... different. He actually got down on my son's level, talked to him like a person, not a chart. He figured out it was a food sensitivity, not some scary thing, but he took our panic seriously. The whole time, he kept saying 'We'll sort this out' to my boy. He called us himself two days later to check in. You don't see that much.

Had a persistent cough that wouldn't quit, messing with my sleep and work. Needed a doctor who wouldn't waste my time. Dr. Nivas at Apollo Greams Road was direct, listened, ordered the right tests fast. Explained the sinus issue clearly, gave a treatment plan that worked. Back to 100% in a week. Efficient and effective.

Look, I hate going to the doctor. But I felt rough for too long. Friend said to try Dr. Nivas. He's good. No nonsense, didn't push a bunch of pills I didn't need. Actually told me half my problem was stress and bad sleep. Gave it to me straight. Felt better just knowing what was up. Parking at Apollo is always a nightmare though.

It started with just feeling tired all the time. I mean, bone-deep tired. I put it off for months, blaming work. Finally dragged myself to Apollo. Dr. Venkatachalapathi... I remember because I had to spell it for my wife. He didn't just ask about the fatigue; he asked about everything—my sleep, my headaches, even my coffee habit. He had this calm way of pulling the thread. Ordered blood work, and it turned out my vitamin D was in the basement. Simple fix, but he explained why it happened and how to keep it from happening again. The clinic was running late that day, I waited a bit, but once I was in with him, he never made me feel rushed. I left with a plan, not just a prescription.
