My case was a real puzzle for a while. I'd seen a few doctors, and the answers weren't adding up. Dr. Srivatsa was the one who finally put all the pieces together. He spent a long time with my old scans, asked questions no one else had, and explained the whole picture to me in a way that actually made sense. It was a relief to finally have a clear path forward, even if it was a complicated one.
I needed a minor procedure, and honestly, I was pretty nervous about the whole hospital thing. But Dr. Srivatsa and his team made it so straightforward. He walked me through every step beforehand, no rushing. The day of, it was over before I knew it. The recovery was exactly as he said it would be—no surprises. It just felt very normal and well-managed.
The Apollo Cancer Centre is a big place, and I got turned around trying to find the clinic. One of the nurses saw me looking lost and walked me right to the door. That small act set the tone. Everyone, from the front desk to the person who took my vitals, was genuinely kind. The place itself is calm, which helped a lot. It didn't feel like a cold, clinical factory.
What I remember most is how Dr. Srivatsa talks to you. He doesn't just talk at you. He sat down, made eye contact, and actually listened. When I got my diagnosis, he didn't sugarcoat it, but he didn't just drop the news and leave either. He gave me a minute, then asked how I was processing it. He feels like a real person, not just a title in a white coat.
