Patient Experience
My 8-year-old son had a high fever that wouldn't break, and I was terrified. Dr. Ravikumar at Apollo Vanagaram was so calm with him, explained everything to me in simple terms, and even showed my son the stethoscope to distract him. The wait was long, but once we got in, he took his time. He called the next day to check in, which meant a lot. My kid is back to his usual self now, and that's all that matters.
Had my gallbladder removed last month. The surgery itself is a blur, but I remember Dr. Ravikumar coming to see me right after to say it went well. The recovery was rough the first few days, but his instructions for pain meds were really clear—none of that 'take as needed' vagueness. The nurses followed his plan exactly. I'm back at work now, moving a bit slower, but feeling better each week.
Went to Dr. Ravikumar for a persistent cough. He listened, didn't rush me, and prescribed something that actually worked. Parking at the hospital was a hassle, but the appointment itself was straightforward. He's a good doctor.
I've been putting off seeing someone about this nagging stomach pain for months. Finally booked an appointment at Apollo Vanagaram, pretty nervous. Dr. Ravikumar had this quiet way about him; he asked a ton of questions I didn't expect, about my stress levels and diet, not just the pain. Ordered a couple of tests to rule things out. When the results came back clear, he sat me down and we just talked about lifestyle changes—no dramatic diagnosis, just practical advice. It wasn't a magic fix, but following his suggestions has made a real difference. I feel heard, which is rare.
