Patient Experience
My dad was really scared when he got his diagnosis. Dr. Sandip Durah was the one who sat us all down in his office at Apollo Proton and explained everything in a way we could actually understand. He didn't just talk to my dad; he looked at all of us, answered our panicked questions, and gave us his direct number. That meant more than anything.
I've been seeing Dr. Durah for my chronic condition for about seven years now, following him to Apollo Proton. What I value most is that I don't have to re-explain my whole history every visit. He remembers the small details, the things that didn't work before, and he's honest when a treatment is just maintenance, not a cure. That consistency builds a kind of trust that's hard to find.
Look, I was nervous at first. Big hospital, cancer in the name. But Dr. Durah is straight to the point. Told me what was wrong, laid out the options clearly—no sugarcoating, but not scary either. Got me sorted. Parking at that place is a nightmare, though.
It started with this persistent ache I kept brushing off. By the time I went to Apollo Proton, I was convinced it was something terrible. Dr. Durah had this calm way about him. He listened to my whole rambling story, did the exam, and then leaned back. "Let's not borrow trouble," he said. He ordered the right tests, sure, but his manner just took the panic out of the room. Turns out it was a fixable thing, not the big C. The relief wasn't just the diagnosis; it was how he handled me through the worry of not knowing.
