I was quite nervous about some ongoing fatigue. Dr. Santosham has a very calm way about him. He didn't rush me, explained everything in simple terms. The hospital itself is large, but his clinic felt quiet. I left feeling heard and much less worried.

My visit was for a general check-up. Parking at Apollo was a bit of a hassle, I had to circle for a while. But once inside, things were smooth. Dr. Santosham was thorough, reviewed my history, and gave practical advice for my cholesterol. Straightforward and professional.
