Patient Experience
I'd been to a couple of doctors for this nagging stomach pain and fatigue, and everyone said it was just stress. Dr. Rajaram was different. He actually sat and listened to every little thing, even the stuff I thought was silly. He ordered some specific tests others hadn't. Turns out it was a tricky gallbladder issue that wasn't showing up the usual way. He explained it all with a diagram on his notepad—no fancy jargon. I finally got the right surgery and feel like myself again.
Had to get a small cyst removed from my back. Honestly, I was nervous about any procedure, even a minor one. But Dr. Rajaram made it so straightforward. The whole thing at Apollo Tondiarpet was quick; in and out in a few hours. The injection pinched for a second, but that was it. He chatted about Chennai's weather while he worked, which took my mind off everything. It healed up perfectly, no fuss.
The parking at Apollo was a nightmare that day, completely full. I was flustered by the time I got to the clinic. But the front desk lady saw I was stressed and helped me sort it out calmly. The whole place felt clean and quiet, which helped me settle down. Even the nurse who took my blood pressure was really gentle and cracked a small joke. It made waiting to see the doctor much easier.
What I remember most is how Dr. Rajaram talks to you. He doesn't rush. When my mother was sick, he'd explain things to her directly, not just to me, and in a way she could understand. He has this calm way of sitting back and really hearing you out. You never feel like just another file on his desk. That kind of respect and patience is rare these days.
