He explained everything in a way that finally made sense, and by the end, I felt like I could breathe again. It wasn't just about the medicine; it was how he talked to me.
Had a persistent issue, went to see Dr. Ram Gopalakrishnan at Apollo Greams Road. He was clear, direct, and efficient. Asked the right questions, ordered the necessary tests, and gave me a straightforward treatment plan. Followed it, problem resolved. Good experience.
The hospital is very big and I was feeling quite lost, to be honest. But Dr. Ram was so kind. He has a very calm way about him. He took the time to answer all my little questions without making me feel silly. I left feeling properly looked after, not just processed.
What a relief! I'd been to two other doctors and was getting nowhere. Dr. Ram actually figured it out. He really knows his stuff. The wait was a bit long, but honestly, it was worth it. I'm finally on the mend and feel like myself again. He's the real deal.
