I've been seeing Dr. Vijayashankar for my blood pressure for over a decade now. He remembers my history, asks about my family, and never rushes the appointment. The clinic at Apollo can get busy, and sometimes you wait a bit, but it's worth it. He doesn't jump to change medications; he prefers to adjust slowly. That consistency is what I trust. He's just a steady, reliable doctor.

Had a persistent stomach issue. Went to Dr. Vijayashankar. He listened, asked clear questions, ordered the right tests. Explained the results in plain terms—no unnecessary jargon. Gave me a treatment plan that worked. Parking at the hospital was a hassle that day, but the consultation itself was efficient and solved the problem. Good doctor.

He didn't dismiss anything. The hospital environment is big, but in his room, I felt at ease. He sorted it out with a simple plan, and I'm so grateful for his kind manner.

After weeks of feeling run-down and getting nowhere, my wife insisted I see a doctor. Found Dr. Vijayashankar at Apollo. Honestly, what a difference! He figured out it was a vitamin deficiency that others had missed. Started the supplements and I felt better within days. It's such a relief to have answers and energy again. Really glad we went to see him.
