Dr. R Nithiyanandan

I'd been to a couple of doctors for this nagging stomach pain and fatigue, and everyone said it was just stress. Dr. Nithiyanandan was different. He actually listened, asked about things no one else did, and ordered some specific tests. Turns out it was a tricky gallbladder issue that wasn't showing up on the usual scans. He explained it all with a diagram on his notepad—no fancy jargon. I'm recovering well now, and I'm just relieved someone finally looked properly.

Had to get a small cyst removed. Honestly, I was nervous at first, but Dr. Nithiyanandan made it feel like no big deal. The whole thing at Apollo was over in a morning. He talked me through each step, the local anesthetic did its job, and before I knew it, he was done. The stitches were neat, and healing's been straightforward. Sometimes simple things going right is all you need.

The waiting area at Apollo Greams Road was packed, I won't lie. But the front desk staff were really on it, keeping things moving. What stood out was the nurse in Dr. Nithiyanandan's clinic. I must have looked worried because she offered me a glass of water and just had a calm way about her. It made sitting in that examination room a lot less intimidating. The doctor was great, but that human touch from the team beforehand really set the tone.

You know how some doctors talk at you while staring at a screen? Dr. Nithiyanandan isn't like that. He pulls his chair up, makes eye contact, and you have his full attention. When I told him my worries, he didn't dismiss them. He just nodded and said, 'That's a valid concern, let's talk about why that likely isn't the case.' He has a quiet, confident way of explaining things that just makes you feel safe. It's a rare quality.
