Patient Experience
I'd been to a couple of doctors about this nagging fatigue and stomach issue, and everyone had a different theory. Honestly, I was starting to think it was all in my head. Dr. Vijayakumar was different. He actually sat and listened to the whole, messy story, asked questions no one else had, and ordered a specific test the others hadn't considered. Turns out it was a tricky vitamin deficiency mimicking other problems. He explained it in a way that finally made sense. I'm just relieved someone finally figured it out.
Needed a minor cyst removal, and I was a bit nervous about the whole thing. The procedure itself at Apollo was straightforward. Dr. Vijayakumar talked me through each step as he worked, which really helped. It was over before I knew it. The whole experience was just... normal. In a good way. No drama, no fuss, just a clean, efficient job done. The follow-up was quick and easy, too.
Look, the parking at Apollo Greams Road is always a bit of a hunt, I won't lie. But once I got inside, the place just runs smoothly. The front desk staff sorted my paperwork without any hassle, and the nurse who took my vitals was really kind—she could tell I was anxious and cracked a small joke to lighten the mood. It made waiting to see Dr. Vijayakumar much easier. The whole environment feels competent, which matters when you're not feeling your best.
What I remember most is how Dr. Vijayakumar didn't just talk at me. When he came into the room, he pulled up a stool and sat down, right at my level. He asked about my job, how the symptoms were affecting my day-to-day, not just the medical history. When he explained my treatment plan, he checked in to make sure I understood and was comfortable with it. It felt like a conversation, not a lecture. That kind of respect is rare.
