Dr. Ravi Krishna Kalathur

Had my gallbladder out last month. The surgery itself was fine, but the first few days after were rough. Dr. Kalathur was really on it with the pain meds, checking in to adjust things so I could actually rest. He explained what the ache was from and how long it'd last, which stopped me from panicking. I'm back at work now, moving a bit slower, but getting there.

As a project manager, I don't have time for drawn-out appointments or vague answers. I went to Dr. Kalathur at Apollo with persistent stomach issues. He was direct, ordered the right tests quickly, and diagnosed a food intolerance. Gave me a clear plan. Problem identified, solution in hand, back to my schedule. Exactly what I needed.

Look, I was nervous. Never been great with doctors. But Dr. Kalathur is straight-up. No sugar-coating, but also no scare tactics. He listened to my worries about some weird fatigue I had, ran the bloodwork, and it was just a bad vitamin D deficiency. Told me what to take, how much, and to get some sun. Simple. Felt better in a couple weeks. Parking at Apollo is always a nightmare, though.

It started with this dull ache in my side that wouldn't quit. After a week of my wife telling me to see someone, I booked with Dr. Kalathur. The clinic was busy, I waited about 20 minutes past my slot flipping through a magazine. When I got in, he had this calm way about him. He asked a ton of questions, even some that seemed unrelated, and then pressed around my abdomen. He suspected it was my appendix even before the scan. He called me himself with the results later that evening and talked me through the next steps calmly. The whole thing, from that first ache to being discharged, felt managed, not rushed.
