My son had his appendix out. The first few days after were rough, I won't lie. Dr. Sankar was really clear about what to expect with the pain. He didn't just give medicine; he showed me how to help my boy get comfortable, how to sit up without hurting. It wasn't an instant fix, but each day got a little easier, exactly like he said it would. That made the whole scary process feel manageable.
Our daughter had a high fever that wouldn't break. We went to Apollo Children's. Dr. Sankar saw her. He was direct, asked the right questions, ordered tests. Explained it was a bacterial infection in a way we understood. Started treatment immediately. She responded well. We appreciated the no-nonsense approach when we were so worried.
We were quite anxious coming from out of town. The hospital is big, parking was a hassle. But Dr. Sankar... he has a very calm way about him. He listened to all our fears about our little one's persistent cough, never made us feel rushed. His explanations were gentle but thorough. We left feeling heard and much more at ease.
FINALLY! After months of my kid having these awful stomach aches and seeing a couple of other doctors, we met Dr. Sankar at Apollo Children's. He figured it out – a food intolerance. Got us on a simple plan. The change has been incredible. No more crying after meals. He really listened when others didn't. So relieved we found him!
