Had a health scare that needed a quick, clear answer. Dr. Sowminarayanan got straight to it, ordered the right tests, and explained the results in a way that made sense. No fluff, just facts. Exactly what I needed to get back to work without worry.
At my age, going to the hospital can be quite an ordeal. Dr. Sowminarayanan was very kind and patient. He took the time to listen to all my concerns, even the small ones, and never made me feel rushed. The whole experience at Apollo was handled with great care, which put me at ease.
Look, I was nervous. Found a lump, went to Apollo. Dr. Sowminarayanan checked it out, told me what he thought it was (and what it wasn't), and laid out the plan. No sugar-coating, but he was calm about it. Got it sorted. Good doctor.
I'd been feeling run-down for months, and my local GP was just throwing guesses around. I finally booked with Dr. Sowminarayanan. The wait was a bit long, I won't lie, but once I was in, it was different. He actually listened to my whole story, asked specific questions about things I'd forgotten to mention, and connected dots the others missed. He didn't just treat a symptom; he figured out the root cause. It was a relief to finally feel heard and get a real direction for getting better.
