Dr. Shubha Vivekan

I'd been to three other doctors about this constant fatigue and stomach pain. Everyone said it was stress. Dr. Shubha actually listened to every little symptom I mentioned, even the ones I thought were silly. She ordered a specific test the others hadn't, and it turned out to be a tricky thyroid issue combined with a mild food intolerance. She explained it all with a diagram on her notepad. Finally, after months of feeling awful, I'm on a treatment plan that actually works.

Had to get a small cyst removed from my back. Honestly, I was more worried about the injection than the procedure itself. Dr. Shubha talked me through each step before she did it, which helped a lot. The whole thing was over in maybe twenty minutes. The parking at Apollo was a nightmare that day, but once I got inside, everything from the check-in to the discharge was straightforward. No fuss, no complications.

The clinic at Apollo Firstmed is really calm, which I needed because I was a bundle of nerves. The lady at the front desk saw I was anxious and offered me water while I waited. Even the nurse who took my vitals was really gentle and chatted with me to distract me. When Dr. Shubha came in, she’d clearly read my file and didn't make me repeat my whole history. It felt like everyone was on the same page, which made a stressful visit much easier.

What stuck with me about Dr. Shubha is how she never makes you feel rushed. I'm the type to have a list of questions, and she goes through each one without looking at the clock. When my mother was sick, she spoke to her directly, not just to me, and used simple words. She has a quiet, steady way about her that just makes you feel like you're in good hands. It's not about big speeches, it's about the way she pays attention.
