Our son has been seeing Dr. Viswanathan for his asthma since he was five. We've moved clinics a few times over the years, but we always make the trip back to Apollo Children's. He remembers every detail, asks about school, and never rushes us. It's that consistency, knowing exactly who you're walking in to see, that makes managing a chronic condition less scary. The trust we have in him is everything.

I was so worried when my little one wouldn't stop crying and seemed in pain. The hospital was busy that day, but once we got in with Dr. Viswanathan, he had such a gentle way about him. He spoke softly, examined her so carefully, and diagnosed an ear infection. His quiet confidence and kindness settled my nerves more than anything. We left feeling heard and cared for.

After weeks of our toddler having digestive issues and seeing no improvement, we got an appointment with Dr. Viswanathan. He figured it out within minutes—a common food intolerance we'd missed. He laid out a simple plan. The change was almost immediate! No more tummy aches. We're just so relieved to have our happy, healthy kid back. Thank you!
