Patient Experience
Had my gallbladder out with Dr. Manamalli. The first couple days were rough, I won't lie, but his team had a clear plan for the pain that actually worked. He checked on me every morning at Apollo, even on the weekend, and explained what each ache probably was. Felt like I was in good hands the whole time, which is what you want when you can't get out of bed.
My 8-year-old, Rohan, had a high fever that just wouldn't break, and we were getting really scared. Dr. Manamalli at Apollo was so calm with him. He didn't just talk to us; he got down on Rohan's level, showed him the stethoscope, and made him laugh a little. He took the time to explain everything to us in a way that didn't make us feel stupid for worrying. We left feeling like we finally understood what was happening and what to do.
Went to see Dr. Manamalli for a persistent stomach issue. He was direct, asked the right questions, and ordered the necessary tests without any fuss. Got a clear diagnosis and a treatment plan that worked. Parking at the hospital is always a nightmare, but the appointment itself was efficient and helpful.
I've been putting off dealing with some fatigue and weight loss for months, just chalking it up to stress. Finally booked with Dr. Manamalli. The waiting room was busy, I had to wait a bit past my slot, but once I got in, he just listened. Really listened. He connected dots I hadn't even mentioned, ordered specific blood work, and called me himself with the results instead of having a nurse do it. Turns out it was a thyroid thing. He didn't make me feel dramatic for waiting, just laid out the steps to fix it. It felt like having a very sharp, kind detective on the case.
