Dr. Praveen Govardhan

My husband was in for a bad stomach infection. I was really worried because he wasn't getting better. Dr. Praveen explained everything to me in our language, not just medical terms. He told me exactly what the medicine would do and what to watch for at home. The hospital was busy, but he never made us feel rushed. Because of his clear instructions, I knew how to care for my husband properly. He's back to his old self now.

Took my father to Apollo Firstmed. Parking was a hassle that day, I'll admit. Dad was nervous. Dr. Govardhan walked in, sat down, and just talked to him first. Didn't jump straight to the problem. He laid out the options for Dad's treatment in a simple way, no pressure. He looked at me and my sister and said, 'You're part of this too, any questions?' That meant a lot. We left feeling we all understood the plan.

Our son had a high fever that wouldn't break. We were scared. Dr. Praveen was so calm. He checked everything thoroughly and spoke softly to our boy, which helped him relax. He told us, step by step, what he thought it was and how we'd treat it. He gave us his direct number for the night in case things changed. Just knowing he was there if we needed him let us finally get some sleep. Our son recovered quickly.

After weeks of my mom feeling tired and weak, we saw Dr. Govardhan. He listened to everything—really listened. He ordered some tests and called us himself with the results the next day, which was a relief not to wait. He said, 'It's manageable, and here’s how we’ll do it.' His confidence wasn't flashy, it was just solid. Mom’s energy is coming back. We’re so glad we found him.
