Our 8-year-old son had been complaining of stomach pains for weeks. We'd seen a couple of doctors, but nothing seemed to help. I was so scared. When we met Dr. Ashokan at Apollo Tondiarpet, he didn't just look at the file. He got down on his level, asked him about his favorite cartoons while gently pressing his tummy. He explained everything to us in simple terms—what each test was for, why he thought it was a certain type of indigestion. He even remembered my son's name at the follow-up. It wasn't just medicine; he treated my child like a person, not a case. That meant the world to a worried mother.
Severe abdominal pain. Went to Apollo Tondiarpet. Saw Dr. T V Ashokan. He ordered the right scans quickly. Diagnosis was clear: gallstones. Explained the options—surgery or manage with diet. Chose surgery. Procedure was smooth. Follow-up was straightforward. No complications. Back to work in two weeks. Good doctor. Efficient.
I was quite nervous about seeing a new doctor, as I have a lot of general health anxieties. Dr. Ashokan was... very kind. He listened without rushing me. His voice was calm, and he answered all my little questions without making me feel silly. The clinic was busy, but he never made it feel that way. He sorted out my medication and checked in a week later himself. It felt like genuine care, not just a routine. A very good experience.
Honestly, I'd been putting off getting this checkup for ages! Just dread, you know? Finally went to see Dr. Ashokan. What a difference! He's got this great energy—reassuring but direct. Told me exactly what was going on, fixed my prescription, and laid out a simple plan. I walked out feeling like a weight was lifted. The pharmacy line was long, but who cares? I finally have answers and feel fantastic. Really, really glad I went!
