I'd been feeling off for months, just tired and achy. A couple of other doctors said it was stress. Dr. Munikrishnan at Apollo actually listened to the whole history, asked a bunch of questions I hadn't been asked before, and ordered some specific tests. Turns out it was a thyroid issue that wasn't showing up on standard panels. He explained it in a way that finally made sense. I'm on treatment now and starting to feel like myself again.
Had to get a small cyst removed from my back. Honestly, I was nervous at first, but Dr. Munikrishnan made it simple. The whole thing at Apollo Greams Road was over in what felt like twenty minutes. He talked me through each step, the local anesthetic worked fine, and I was out the door with clear instructions. It healed up perfectly, no fuss.
The parking at Apollo was a nightmare that day, completely full. I was flustered by the time I got to the clinic. But the lady at the front desk was really kind, got me checked in fast, and the nurse who took my vitals had a calming way about her. Even the waiting area was quiet, which helped. By the time I saw Dr. Munikrishnan, I'd actually relaxed a bit.
What stuck with me about Dr. Venkatesh was how he talks to you. He doesn't just look at the chart. He sits down, makes eye contact, and really hears what you're saying. When my dad was in for a check-up, Dr. Munikrishnan took the time to answer all his old-fashioned, repetitive questions without a hint of impatience. That kind of respect means a lot.
