I'd been to a couple of doctors for this nagging fatigue and stomach issue, and everyone just said it was stress. Dr. Padmanabhan was different. He actually listened to all the weird little details I thought were irrelevant, ordered some specific tests others hadn't, and figured out it was a tricky thyroid problem affecting my digestion. It wasn't a quick fix, but having a name for it and a clear plan made all the difference.
Had to get a minor cyst removed. Honestly, I was more nervous about the hospital process than the procedure itself. Dr. Padmanabhan explained everything in plain English, the whole thing took maybe twenty minutes, and I was back home by lunch. The scar is barely noticeable. Sometimes simple things just go right.
The Apollo waiting area was packed, I'll admit that. But what stood out was how the nurse at the front desk handled it. She remembered my name from my call, calmly directed everyone, and even found me a quieter corner to wait when she saw I was anxious. It felt like the team actually worked together, which made a hectic place feel manageable.
Look, I don't really like doctors. I went in with my guard up. But Dr. Padmanabhan has this calm way about him—no rush, no big ego. He sat down, asked about my work and family before even getting to the medical stuff. When he did examine me, he told me exactly what he was doing and why. Felt like I was talking to a really knowledgeable person, not just a medical authority.
