Doctor: Dr. Sripriya Rajan Hospital: Apollo Cancer Centre

My case was a real puzzle for a while. Other doctors were stumped by my symptoms, but Dr. Sripriya Rajan at Apollo didn't give up. She ordered a specific set of tests I hadn't had before and sat with me for a long time to explain what the results actually meant. It wasn't a common thing, but she figured it out. I finally have a treatment plan that makes sense.

Doctor: Dr. Sripriya Rajan Hospital: Apollo Cancer Centre

I needed a minor cyst removed, and honestly, I was pretty nervous at first. Dr. Rajan made the whole thing feel normal. She told me exactly what she was going to do, step by step, and the procedure itself was over before I knew it. The recovery was exactly as she said it would be—simple and straightforward. It was a relief to have something go so easily.

Doctor: Dr. Sripriya Rajan Hospital: Apollo Cancer Centre

The Apollo Cancer Centre itself is a calm place, which helps when you're anxious. The front desk staff remembered my name on my second visit, which was a nice touch. Even when the parking lot was full and I was running late, the nurse was really understanding and got me settled without any fuss. It felt like the whole team was working together.

Doctor: Dr. Sripriya Rajan Hospital: Apollo Cancer Centre

What stood out most was how Dr. Rajan talks to you. She doesn't rush. During my consultation, she actually pulled her chair over to sit beside me to go over the scan images, so I could see properly. She asked about my family and how they were handling the news, not just my symptoms. It felt like she was treating me, not just the file in front of her.

Doctor: Dr. Premkumar K Hospital: Apollo Cancer Centre

My son, Arjun, was just eight when we got the news. The world stopped. We were terrified. Dr. Premkumar at Apollo Cancer Centre saw us, and the first thing he did was get down to Arjun's eye level. He explained things in a way we could all understand, even drawing little pictures for Arjun. There were long days, and the waiting room was often crowded, but Dr. Premkumar never rushed us. He answered every single one of my frantic questions, no matter how small. Seeing my little boy smile again, that's because of the care he received. We're home now, and Arjun asks when we can go back to visit the doctor who fixed him.

Doctor: Dr. Premkumar K Hospital: Apollo Cancer Centre

Needed a second opinion on a complex diagnosis. Booked with Dr. Premkumar K. at Apollo Cancer Centre. He reviewed my file thoroughly before I even walked in. Appointment was direct, no fluff. He laid out the facts, the options, and his recommended course clearly. Asked if I understood. Got the treatment started quickly. Follow-up was efficient. Got the job done.

Doctor: Dr. Premkumar K Hospital: Apollo Cancer Centre

I was so scared to walk into that hospital. Everything felt so big and clinical. But Dr. Premkumar… he has such a calm way about him. He listened more than he talked, which I needed. He never made me feel foolish for being afraid. There was one day I was particularly low, and he just sat for an extra moment and said, 'We will get through this step by step.' It meant more than he knows. The care here is very good, yes, but it was his kindness that made it bearable.

Doctor: Dr. Premkumar K Hospital: Apollo Cancer Centre

What a find! After months of feeling awful and getting nowhere, my GP referred me to Dr. Premkumar. Honestly, parking was a nightmare that first day, but wow, was it worth it! He figured out what was going on in two visits where others had scratched their heads. Started treatment right away, and I'm feeling like myself again. The nurses said he's one of the best, and I totally see why. So glad he's at Apollo!

Doctor: Dr. Manjula Rao Hospital: Apollo Cancer Centre

My case was a real puzzle for a while. I'd been to a couple of places, and the answers weren't adding up. Dr. Manjula Rao at Apollo sat with me for a long time, really listening and piecing things together. She ordered a specific test the others hadn't, and that's what finally gave us a clear direction. It was a huge relief to finally have a plan.

I was in for a standard colonoscopy, and honestly, I was just hoping to get it over with. The prep was the worst part, as usual! But the day itself was fine. Dr. Rao's team was efficient, she explained each step quickly, and I was in and out. No drama, which is exactly what you want for something routine.

Doctor: Dr. Manjula Rao Hospital: Apollo Cancer Centre

The Apollo centre is big and can feel a bit overwhelming. I got lost trying to find the pharmacy after my appointment. But the front desk staff saw me looking confused and walked me right to it. The nurses in Dr. Rao's clinic were also really kind; one even found me a charger when my phone was about to die in the waiting area. Those little things helped a lot.

Doctor: Dr. Manjula Rao Hospital: Apollo Cancer Centre

What I remember most is how Dr. Rao talked to me. I was scared when I got the news, and my mind went blank. She didn't rush. She drew a simple diagram on her notepad to show me what was happening, asked if my family had questions, and her tone was just... calm. It didn't make the situation good, but it made it feel manageable.

Doctor: Dr. Ramkumar T Hospital: Apollo Cancer Centre

Had my gallbladder out with Dr. Ramkumar. The first couple days were rough, I won't lie. But his team had a clear plan for the pain and he checked on me every morning, adjusting things as I got better. He was straight with me about what to expect, which helped a lot. I'm moving around much easier now.

Doctor: Dr. Ramkumar T Hospital: Apollo Cancer Centre

At my age, one worries about being a bother. Dr. Ramkumar at Apollo was never rushed. He explained my arthritis options so my daughter and I could understand, and he asked about my comfort at home. A very kind and patient doctor.

Doctor: Dr. Ramkumar T Hospital: Apollo Cancer Centre

I was really nervous about the abdominal surgery. From the first consult, Dr. Ramkumar just had a calm way about him. He drew a simple diagram on the notepad to show me exactly what he'd do. The day of, I remember him asking the anesthetist to wait a moment so he could answer one last question from my wife. It was a small thing, but it meant everything. Recovery had its ups and downs—some days I felt great, others I was sore and tired. But his team never made me feel like I was complaining when I called. They just helped me through it. I'm back to work now, and while I've got a scar, I also have my life back.

Doctor: Dr. Subathira B Hospital: Apollo Cancer Centre

I'd been to a couple of doctors about this persistent pain, and everyone had a different theory. Honestly, I was getting frustrated and scared. Dr. Subathira was different. She actually sat and listened to my whole history, asked questions the others hadn't, and ordered a specific scan. It turned out to be something pretty rare. She explained it to me and my husband in plain English, drew a little diagram on a notepad, and laid out the options without any pressure. I felt like someone finally saw the whole picture.

Had to get a minor cyst removed. I was nervous at first, but Dr. Subathira made it feel like no big deal. The whole thing was over in what felt like twenty minutes. She talked me through each step as she was doing it, which really kept my mind off things. The follow-up was easy, too—just a quick check-in. Sometimes you just need something straightforward handled well, and that's exactly what happened.

Doctor: Dr. Subathira B Hospital: Apollo Cancer Centre

The Apollo centre is a big place, and I got a bit turned around finding the clinic. One of the nurses, I think her name was Priya, saw me looking at the signs and walked me right to the door. The whole team in Dr. Subathira's office just seemed to work together really well. Even when the doctor was running a little late (which happens), the front desk kept us updated. It's the little things that make a stressful visit feel more manageable.

What I'll remember most is how Dr. Subathira talks to you. She doesn't rush. When I got my results, she didn't just read them out; she looked at me, made sure I was following, and asked if I had questions. She has this calm way about her that makes you feel like you're in capable hands, even when the news isn't perfect. You don't feel like just another file on her desk.
