My mom was really scared when she got her diagnosis. Dr. Vasanth was the first doctor who actually sat down with all of us—me, my sister, my dad—and explained everything in a way we could understand. He didn't sugarcoat it, but he gave us a clear plan and answered every single one of our panicked questions. The waiting room at Apollo was packed that day, but he never rushed us. We felt like we had a real partner in this.
I've been seeing Dr. Vasanth for my check-ups for over eight years now. You get to know a doctor's style after that long. What I appreciate is that he remembers me, remembers my history without having to dig through the file for ten minutes first. His approach has been steady and sensible the whole time—no jumping on every new trend, just solid, reliable care. That consistency means everything when you're managing your health long-term.
Saw Dr. Vasanth at Apollo. Straight shooter. Told me what was wrong, what we could do about it, and what to expect. No fluff. Got the tests done, started treatment, feeling better. Parking was a nightmare, though.
I walked into Apollo Cancer Centre last month with a knot in my stomach the size of a grapefruit. First appointment, you know how it is. Dr. Vasanth had this calm way about him that just took the edge off. He listened to my whole rambling story, even the parts I thought were probably silly. He drew a little diagram on his notepad to show me what he thought was going on. The treatment path he suggested made sense because he'd built the case for it right there with me. I left feeling nervous still, sure, but clear-headed and ready to face it.
