Patient Experience
I'd been to three other doctors for this nagging abdominal pain, and everyone just said it was stress. Dr. Premkumar actually sat and listened, asked a ton of questions I hadn't been asked before. He ordered a specific scan the others hadn't, and it turned out to be a rare type of hernia. It wasn't a quick fix, but he explained the whole plan clearly, and the surgery at Apollo Vanagaram sorted it out. He didn't give up when it got complicated.
Had to get a small cyst removed from my back. Honestly, I was nervous about any kind of cut. Dr. Premkumar made it feel like no big deal. The whole thing at Apollo was over in what felt like twenty minutes. He talked me through each step, the local anesthetic worked perfectly, and the stitches were so neat they've already faded. It was one of those things you dread that just... went fine.
The parking at Apollo Vanagaram was a bit of a scramble that morning, I won't lie. But once inside, it made a difference. The front desk lady saw I was flustered and helped me find my way. The nurses in Dr. Premkumar's clinic were really kind, especially when I couldn't get my blood pressure cuff to work. The place just felt calm and clean, which helped a lot while waiting.
What I remember most is how Dr. Premkumar talks to you. He doesn't just look at the file. He looks at you. When he explained my treatment options, he drew a little diagram on his notepad. He asked if I understood, and waited for my real questions. It felt like a conversation, not a lecture. That kind of respect is rare.
