Patient Experience
Had a persistent stomach issue for weeks. Dr. Umashankar Prakasam at Apollo Vanagaram saw me quickly, diagnosed it clearly, and got me on a treatment plan that worked. No fuss, just solid care. Exactly what I needed with my schedule.
I was really scared after my gallbladder surgery. The first few days were rough, but Dr. Prakasam was very clear about what to expect. He adjusted my pain meds personally when I called, which made a huge difference. The follow-up was good too—he actually remembered my case details without looking at the file. Still recovering, but feeling more confident about it.
Look, I don't like doctors. But this guy? He's good. Straight talk, no sugar-coating. Told me my lifestyle was causing my problems, gave me a plan, and it's working. Parking at that hospital is always a nightmare, though.
I went in for what I thought was just bad heartburn. Dr. Prakasam listened to me ramble for a good ten minutes about my stress at work and my weird diet. He didn't rush me. He asked specific questions I hadn't even thought of. Turns out, it was a bit more complicated. He explained everything with a diagram on his notepad—why certain foods were triggering it, how stress played a role. I left with a real understanding, not just a prescription. The wait was a bit long that day, but honestly, the time he spent with me was worth it.
