Dr. Sivasankar Jayakumar

I'd been to a couple of doctors for this nagging abdominal pain, and everyone said it was just stress. Dr. Sivasankar was different. He actually sat and listened to my whole history, asked questions the others hadn't. He ordered a specific scan the others dismissed. Turns out it was a rare type of hernia that was easy to miss. He explained it all with a diagram on his notepad. I felt heard for the first time, and more importantly, I finally got the right fix.

Had to get my gallbladder out. Was pretty nervous about the whole surgery thing, I'll admit. But Dr. Sivasankar and his team at Apollo Vanagaram made it straightforward. The procedure itself was laparoscopic, so recovery was faster than I thought. The worst part was probably the hospital food, but hey, that's normal, right? Back to my normal routine in a couple of weeks without any fuss.

The hospital itself is nice and calm, which helped a lot. My wife was with me, and the nurses at the front desk were really kind to her while I was in with the doctor. Even the guy who cleaned the room had a smile. Parking was a bit of a hunt, but once inside, the whole place at Apollo just felt efficient and quiet, not chaotic like some others.

What stuck with me was how Dr. Sivasankar talks to you. He doesn't rush. Before my procedure, I was asking a million anxious questions. He didn't just give textbook answers; he told me what to actually expect, the real sensations, and even cracked a small joke that broke the tension. Felt like I was talking to a very smart, calm friend who knew his stuff inside out.
