Our son had been tired and pale for weeks, and our local doctor couldn't figure it out. We came to Apollo feeling pretty scared. Dr. Srikanth didn't just run the usual tests; he actually sat and listened to all the little things we'd noticed, even stuff we thought was silly. He ordered a specific blood test nobody else had mentioned. Turns out, it was a rare type of anemia. He explained it to us in simple terms, drew diagrams on his notepad. We finally had an answer and a clear plan. That kind of attention made all the difference.

My daughter needed to get her tonsils out. Honestly, I was more nervous than she was. The whole thing felt very straightforward with Dr. Srikanth. He walked us through each step the week before, so there were no surprises. On the day, he was calm, the surgery itself went fine, and his instructions for recovery were clear—lots of ice cream, which my kid loved. It was a relief to have something medical feel so routine and smooth.

The parking at Apollo was a nightmare that day, I won't lie. But once we got inside for my son's check-up, the place felt calm. The nurses at the front knew Dr. Srikanth's schedule and helped us get settled quickly. One of them even found a cartoon channel to distract my boy. The whole wing was clean and quiet, which really helps when you're trying to keep a restless kid from touching everything.

Doctor: Dr. Srikanth R Hospital: Apollo Children's Hospital Chennai

What I remember most is how Dr. Srikanth talked to my son, not just to me. He got down on his level, asked him about his school and his favorite cartoon character before even looking at his chart. My boy was hiding behind my legs at first, but by the end, he was showing the doctor his toy car. That personal touch, seeing my child relax, meant more than any medical jargon ever could.
