Patient Experience
I'd been to three other doctors about this constant fatigue and pain. They all said it was stress. Dr. Yogaraj was the first one who actually listened to the weird little details I mentioned, like my joints clicking. He ordered some specific tests others hadn't, and it turned out to be something quite rare. He sat with me and my husband for a long time explaining what it meant in plain language, without sugarcoating it but also without scaring us to death. Finally having a name for it, even a complicated one, was a huge relief.
Had to get a minor cyst removed. Honestly, I was more nervous about the hospital experience than the procedure itself. Dr. Yogaraj made it so straightforward. He drew a little diagram on the consent form to show exactly what he'd do, which was kind of funny but really helped. The whole thing took maybe twenty minutes. The scar is tiny now. It was just a very normal, positive medical experience, no drama.
The Apollo waiting area is nice, but what stood out was how the nurse at the front desk remembered my name when I came back from getting a scan. Little thing, but it made me feel less like a number. The whole team in Dr. Yogaraj's clinic seemed to actually talk to each other; the assistant knew why I was there before I even said anything. It felt coordinated, which is rare.
Look, I'm not great with doctors. I get awkward and clam up. Dr. Yogaraj has this calm way about him that just sort of deflates the anxiety. He doesn't rush you, but he also doesn't drag things out. He asked about my job and we chatted about Chennai traffic for a minute before getting down to business. It felt human. When he explained my treatment plan, it felt like a suggestion from someone smart, not an order.
