Patient Experience
I've been seeing Dr. Preethi for about eight years now, ever since my diabetes diagnosis. That's the thing—she remembers. She knows my history, my family situation, even what jobs I've had. I don't have to re-explain everything from scratch. Sure, the Apollo waiting area can get crowded, but once I'm in her room, she gives me her full attention. She's straightforward about what I need to do, but never makes me feel bad if I've slipped up. That kind of consistency is hard to find.
As someone who manages a team and travels constantly, I need a doctor who gets to the point. Dr. Preethi M. does. I went in with persistent fatigue that was affecting my work. No fluff, just clear questions, the right tests, and a practical treatment plan. She emailed the summary so I could review it later. Fixed the issue in two visits. Exactly what I needed.
Look, I hate going to the doctor. But I had this weird pain in my side that wouldn't quit. Friend recommended Dr. Preethi at Apollo. She was direct, which I liked. Didn't sugarcoat it—said it was probably muscular but let's get a scan to be sure. Scan was clear. She gave me some exercises. Pain's gone. Simple as that.
My experience was a bit of a journey. I'd been feeling 'off' for months—just tired, low appetite, nothing specific. I was nervous it was something serious. The first time I met Dr. Preethi, she spent a good 20 minutes just listening to me ramble about all my little symptoms. She didn't dismiss anything. Ordered a full panel of blood work, which did involve waiting a bit at the Apollo lab. Turns out, it was a significant vitamin B12 deficiency, nothing scary. She explained it all with a diagram on her notepad. Started supplements, followed up with a call two weeks later to check in. I'm back to my old self now. It wasn't a miracle, just good, careful doctoring.
