Patient Experience
I'd been to three other doctors for this weird fatigue and joint pain. Everyone said it was stress or just getting older. Dr. Shristi actually listened to the whole, messy story, asked about a rash I'd had months ago I'd almost forgotten, and ordered a specific blood test. Turns out it was something pretty rare. She explained it all with a diagram on her notepad, no jargon. I finally feel like I'm getting somewhere.
Had to get a small cyst removed. Honestly, I was nervous at first, but the whole thing was so straightforward. Dr. Shristi talked me through each step before she did it, the local anesthetic worked perfectly, and it was over in what felt like minutes. The follow-up instructions were clear, and it healed up just like she said it would. No drama, just good care.
The parking at Apollo was a nightmare that day, completely full, so I was flustered by the time I got in. But the front desk lady was really calm and got me sorted quickly. The nurse who took my vitals noticed I seemed anxious and just chatted about the weather in a really kind way. It made a huge difference. The whole place felt efficient but not cold.
What stuck with me about Dr. Shristi was how she just... talked to you. She sat down, didn't hover by the door. When I told her I was scared about the medication side effects, she didn't dismiss it. She said, 'Yeah, that's a valid worry, let's look at the real numbers together.' She feels like a very smart, no-nonsense person who also remembers you're a person.
