Patient Experience
I'd been to a couple of other doctors with this persistent stomach pain, and they all said it was just stress. Dr. Rajan was the first one who actually looked skeptical at that. He ordered a different set of scans, the ones the others hadn't thought of. Turns out it was a rare type of abdominal tumor, hiding in a tricky spot. His persistence in finding the real answer, when it would've been easier to agree with the others, is what made all the difference. The surgery was tough, but he explained the whole plan so clearly, I never felt like I was in the dark.
Had to get a suspicious mole removed from my back. Honestly, I was more nervous about the procedure than the results. Dr. Rajan's clinic at Apollo was running late that day—I waited about 45 minutes, which I grumbled about. But when it was my turn, he was so quick and calm. The local anesthetic shot pinched, but he talked me through each step. It was over in what felt like ten minutes. The stitches were so neat my wife barely notices the scar now. Just a straightforward, no-drama visit, which is exactly what you want sometimes.
The Apollo Cancer Centre can feel a bit overwhelming when you first walk in. My husband was really anxious for his consultation. But the front desk lady saw his face and gave him a warm smile, and the nurse who took his vitals cracked a silly joke about the blood pressure cuff. It made him exhale for the first time all morning. Even the cleaner in the hallway gave us a nod. Dr. Rajan was great, sure, but it was the whole atmosphere the staff created that made a scary day feel manageable. They were just... kind, without making a big show of it.
What I'll remember most about Dr. Rajan isn't just the medicine. It's how he sat down, really sat, after giving me the biopsy report. He didn't hide behind medical jargon. He said, 'This is serious, and we need to move fast, but here is how we fight it.' He asked about my family, my job, and actually listened to the answers. There was one visit where I just broke down crying from the stress, and he didn't rush me out. He just handed me a tissue and waited. He made me feel like a person, not just a case file.
My mom was really scared when she got her diagnosis. Dr. Vasanth was the first doctor who actually sat down with all of us—me, my sister, my dad—and explained everything in a way we could understand. He didn't sugarcoat it, but he gave us a clear plan and answered every single one of our panicked questions. The waiting room at Apollo was packed that day, but he never rushed us. We felt like we had a real partner in this.
I've been seeing Dr. Vasanth for my check-ups for over eight years now. You get to know a doctor's style after that long. What I appreciate is that he remembers me, remembers my history without having to dig through the file for ten minutes first. His approach has been steady and sensible the whole time—no jumping on every new trend, just solid, reliable care. That consistency means everything when you're managing your health long-term.
Saw Dr. Vasanth at Apollo. Straight shooter. Told me what was wrong, what we could do about it, and what to expect. No fluff. Got the tests done, started treatment, feeling better. Parking was a nightmare, though.
I walked into Apollo Cancer Centre last month with a knot in my stomach the size of a grapefruit. First appointment, you know how it is. Dr. Vasanth had this calm way about him that just took the edge off. He listened to my whole rambling story, even the parts I thought were probably silly. He drew a little diagram on his notepad to show me what he thought was going on. The treatment path he suggested made sense because he'd built the case for it right there with me. I left feeling nervous still, sure, but clear-headed and ready to face it.
My case was a real puzzle for a while. Other doctors were scratching their heads, but Dr. Rejiv Rajendranath at Apollo didn't give up. He ordered a specific test I hadn't had before and sat with me for a long time to explain what the results actually meant. It wasn't great news, but having a clear path forward after months of uncertainty made all the difference.
I was in for a standard colonoscopy and, honestly, I was pretty nervous. Dr. Rajendranath had a very calm way about him that put me at ease. The procedure itself was over before I knew it. The whole thing was straightforward, no surprises, and the follow-up call from his office the next day was a nice touch.
The Apollo Cancer Centre is a busy place, I won't lie. I had to circle for parking. But once inside, it felt different. The nurses at the reception remembered my name on my second visit, and the phlebotomist who took my blood was so gentle I barely felt it. It's the little things that make a tough process feel more human.
What I'll remember most about Dr. Rajendranath is how he talks to you. He doesn't rush. He asks about your family, looks you in the eye, and you can tell he's really listening. When he explained my treatment plan, he drew a simple diagram on a notepad. It made a scary thing feel manageable.
My son, Arjun, had been complaining of stomach aches for weeks. We were so scared. The waiting room at Apollo was packed, and I was trying to keep him calm. Dr. Kannan walked in, and the first thing he did was get down to Arjun's eye level and ask about his favorite cartoon. He explained everything to me in simple terms, never making me feel rushed, even though I know he was busy. He didn't just treat a patient; he cared for my little boy. We left with a clear plan and, for the first time in a month, some peace of mind.
Had a persistent issue. Went to Apollo Cancer Centre. Saw Dr. Kannan S. He listened, asked direct questions, ordered the right tests. Explained the results clearly. No fluff. Got a treatment plan that worked. Follow-up was efficient. Problem solved.
I was quite nervous before my appointment, to be honest. The hospital is very large and finding the department took me a moment. But Dr. Kannan has such a gentle way about him. He didn't just look at my file; he looked at me, and he heard all my little worries. His advice was kind and practical. It felt like being guided by someone who truly understands. I'm very grateful for his help.
What a relief! After months of feeling off and getting nowhere, my friend insisted I see Dr. Kannan. Best decision ever! He actually figured out what was going on—it wasn't what I thought at all. He's got this great energy, very confident but also really easy to talk to. The whole team at Apollo was fantastic. I'm already feeling so much better. Seriously, go see him!
My case was a real puzzle for a while. I'd been to a couple of doctors with these vague symptoms, and honestly, I was starting to think it was all in my head. Dr. Ramanujan was the first one who didn't just shrug. He actually sat with my file for ages, asked me questions I hadn't been asked before, and connected dots others missed. It turned out to be something pretty rare. At Apollo, he laid out the plan so clearly, even when it got complicated. He didn't sugarcoat it, but he made it feel manageable.
I needed a minor cyst removal. Nothing major, but you still get nervous, you know? The whole thing was just... straightforward. Dr. Ramanujan explained it in about thirty seconds in a way that made sense. The day of, I waited a bit in pre-op, which I expected. The procedure itself was quick, and the recovery was exactly as he said it would be. No drama, no surprises. Sometimes that's exactly what you want from a doctor.
Let's be real, going to a cancer centre is intimidating. The building is huge, and I got turned around in the parking garage. But once I found the floor, the front desk lady saw I was flustered and was really kind. The place itself is calm, lots of natural light in the waiting area, which helped. Dr. Ramanujan's nurse, especially, remembered my name and my husband's when we came back, which felt more personal than I expected in such a big hospital.
What stuck with me about Dr. Ramanujan was how he talked to me. I was scared, and he could tell. He didn't just look at his screen; he pulled his chair around to face me directly. He asked about my job and my kids, little things, before diving into the medical stuff. When he explained things, he checked my face to see if I was following. It felt like he was just a person, talking to another person about a tough situation. That meant a lot.
