I'd been to three other doctors about this constant fatigue and weird joint pain. Everyone said it was stress. Dr. Shetty at Apollo was the first one who actually sat and listened, really listened, to the whole timeline. He ordered a specific blood panel the others hadn't. Turns out it was something pretty rare. He explained it to me and my wife in plain English, no jargon, and laid out a clear plan. I finally feel like I'm getting somewhere.

Had to get a colonoscopy, which honestly scared me more than it should have. The whole thing at Apollo Greams Road was surprisingly straightforward. Yes, the prep was no fun, but on the day, Dr. Shetty's team kept things moving. He popped in before to say hello, and the procedure itself was over before I knew it. Got the all-clear later that afternoon. It was just a routine check, but they made it feel simple and professional.

Look, the parking at that Apollo branch is always a bit of a hunt. But once you're inside, it's different. I was there with my dad for his check-up. The front desk people remembered him from last time, and a nurse saw he was struggling to walk from the waiting area and brought a wheelchair over without us even asking. Dr. Shetty's clinic area felt calm, not chaotic. It's the little things that take the edge off a hospital visit.

I'm a pretty anxious person, especially about health stuff. My first meeting with Dr. Shetty, my hands were literally shaking. He didn't rush me. He asked about my work, my family, just normal chat, before even getting into my symptoms. He has this way of talking that's direct but kind, you know? He never makes you feel silly for asking a question. I left feeling heard, not just processed.
