Had my gallbladder out last month. The first few days were rough, I won't lie. But Dr. Raj's team had a clear plan for the pain. They didn't just throw pills at me; they explained what to expect each day and when to ease off the meds. I felt listened to when I said something hurt. It made getting back on my feet feel manageable, step by step.
Appendicitis. Went to Apollo Greams Road. Dr. Raj Palaniappan diagnosed it quickly. Surgery was smooth. Staff was efficient. Follow-up instructions were clear. Recovering well. Would recommend.
I was quite nervous before my hernia operation. Dr. Raj has a very calm way about him. He took the time to draw a little diagram for me on the paper covering the exam table, showing exactly what he would do. It put my mind at ease. The whole experience, even with the busy hospital parking, felt gentle.
Wow, what a relief! I'd been putting off this procedure for ages because I was so anxious. From the consult to the discharge, Dr. Raj and his team were fantastic. He has a great sense of humor that really cuts the tension. I'm home now, feeling a million times better than I have in years. So glad I finally went!
