Patient Experience
My 8-year-old son had been having these awful stomach pains for weeks. We saw a couple of doctors who just said it was 'growing pains.' Dr. Sankar actually sat on the floor with him, asked him to point to the exact spot, and listened to him describe it in his own kid-words. He didn't rush us at all, even though the clinic was busy. He figured out it was a food sensitivity we never would have guessed. My son is back to his happy, energetic self, and as a parent, that's everything.
Had my gallbladder out last month. Honestly, I was terrified of the pain afterwards—heard some horror stories. Dr. Sankar's team had a clear plan from the start. They explained exactly what meds I'd get and when, and what the pain should feel like (weird, but it helped). The first couple days were rough, no lie, but I always felt in control. Follow-up was good too; he called himself to check in. I'm back at work now and feeling almost normal.
Saw Dr. Sankar for a persistent cough. Quick, clear, no nonsense. He listened, checked me over, prescribed something that actually worked. Parking at Apollo is always a hassle, but the appointment itself was efficient. Would see him again.
I've had this nagging fatigue for months. Felt like I was running on empty. My first appointment with Dr. Sankar, I just word-vomited all my symptoms—sleep issues, low mood, the works. He didn't dismiss it as stress. He mapped out a step-by-step approach: 'Let's rule out the physical stuff first, then we'll see.' Ordered specific blood tests I'd never had before. It took a few weeks and a couple of follow-ups (waiting room was packed once, had to reschedule), but we found a thyroid issue. Starting treatment now and already feel a glimmer of my old energy. He stuck with the process when I was ready to give up.
