Doctor: Dr. Niveditha Bharathy K Hospital: Apollo Cancer Centre

Needed a second opinion after a concerning diagnosis. Booked with Dr. Niveditha Bharathy K. at Apollo. Appointment was on time. She reviewed my file thoroughly, asked clear questions, and laid out the facts. Presented the options—surgery, monitoring, pros and cons of each—without any sugar-coating. Appreciated the direct approach. Made a decision with her guidance. Follow-up has been efficient. Good experience.

Doctor: Dr. Niveditha Bharathy K Hospital: Apollo Cancer Centre

The whole process is so frightening, isn't it? From the tests to the big hospital. I was quite overwhelmed. Dr. Niveditha has such a calm way about her. She listens, really listens, and you can see she's thinking it all through. She took the time to speak with my daughter who had come with me, which meant a lot. Her advice felt careful and kind. I'm not just a case to her. Under her care, I feel... looked after.

What a relief! After months of feeling off and getting nowhere, a friend recommended Dr. Niveditha. FINALLY, someone who connected the dots! She's sharp, she got to the root of it quickly, and her team at Apollo moved fast. The treatment plan she suggested made so much sense. I'm already feeling better than I have in ages. Honestly, she's brilliant. If you're stuck in a medical maze, go see her. She'll figure it out.

Doctor: Dr. Ravishankar L S Hospital: Apollo Cancer Centre

Just home from my surgery with Dr. Ravishankar at Apollo. The first few days were rough, I won't lie, but his team had a clear plan for the pain. He checked on me every morning, adjusted meds based on how I was actually feeling, not just a chart. It made a real difference in getting me moving again.

Doctor: Dr. Ravishankar L S Hospital: Apollo Cancer Centre

My mother was under Dr. Ravishankar's care. What stood out was how he spoke to us. He never rushed our questions, explained things in a way we could understand without being scary, and gave us his direct number for the ward. In a place like that, having a doctor who includes the family makes the whole ordeal a little less lonely.

Doctor: Dr. Ravishankar L S Hospital: Apollo Cancer Centre

I was really nervous walking into the Apollo Cancer Centre. Dr. Ravishankar had this calm way about him that just settled me down. He drew a simple diagram on his notepad to show exactly what was going on and what the surgery would involve. The day after the operation, he came in early, pulled up a chair, and asked about the pain level before even looking at the monitors. That small thing—asking me first—made me feel like a person, not just a case. The follow-up was just as thorough; he remembered details I'd almost forgotten to mention.

Doctor: Dr. Sasankh R K Hospital: Apollo Cancer Centre

I've been seeing Dr. Sasankh for my follow-ups for over five years now. It's the consistency I value most. He remembers the details of my case without me having to re-explain everything each visit. The hospital is busy, sometimes you wait a bit, but when he's in the room, he's focused. I trust his judgment because he's never rushed and always explains the 'why' behind any change in my care plan. That kind of steady, reliable attention is hard to find.

Doctor: Dr. Sasankh R K Hospital: Apollo Cancer Centre

Had a concerning lump. Went to Apollo Cancer Centre. Dr. Sasankh R K saw me. He was direct, clear about the next steps. Ordered a biopsy, explained the procedure simply. Got the results back quickly—benign. He called me himself to give the news. No fluff, just facts and clear instructions. Exactly what I needed.

Doctor: Dr. Sasankh R K Hospital: Apollo Cancer Centre

I was so nervous before my first appointment, my hands were shaking. Dr. Sasankh has such a calm way about him. He listened to all my worries, even the silly ones, and never made me feel like I was wasting his time. His explanations were gentle but thorough. Leaving his office, I finally felt like I had a partner in this, not just a doctor. The whole team there made a difficult time much easier to bear.

After bouncing between a couple of doctors and getting confusing advice, seeing Dr. Sasankh was a huge relief. Finally, someone who looked at the whole picture! He connected dots others missed. The treatment plan he suggested just made sense. I walked out of that appointment feeling lighter, like a weight was off my shoulders. I'm actually optimistic about getting this managed now.

Doctor: Dr. Sriprakash Duraisamy Hospital: Apollo Cancer Centre

My appointment with Dr. Sriprakash Duraisamy was arranged by my son. I must admit, I was quite apprehensive about visiting the Apollo Cancer Centre. From the moment I met him, however, he put me at ease. He explained my condition in a way I could understand, without rushing me. He has a very calm and reassuring manner. The treatment plan he suggested felt manageable, and the entire team was very kind. While the hospital is large and I did get a little turned around finding the department, the care itself was very comforting.

Doctor: Dr. Sriprakash Duraisamy Hospital: Apollo Cancer Centre

Had a persistent issue that my local GP couldn't resolve. Went to see Dr. Duraisamy at Apollo. He listened, asked clear questions, and ordered the right tests. Got a diagnosis and a straightforward treatment plan. It worked. Follow-up was efficient. No nonsense, just good care.

Doctor: Dr. Sriprakash Duraisamy Hospital: Apollo Cancer Centre

I was so worried before seeing the doctor. My hands wouldn't stop shaking in the waiting room. But Dr. Sriprakash was… gentle. He didn't just look at my file; he looked at me. He spoke softly and made sure I was following along. When I had questions, he waited and answered them fully. I left feeling heard, and a little less afraid. That meant a great deal.

Doctor: Dr. Sriprakash Duraisamy Hospital: Apollo Cancer Centre

Finally! After months of feeling off and getting nowhere, Dr. Duraisamy figured it out. He's sharp—caught something everyone else missed. The whole process at Apollo was smooth (though parking was a nightmare that morning). He laid out all the options clearly, and we're already seeing improvement. What a relief to have a doctor who actually solves the problem!

Doctor: Dr. Sanjay Chandrasekar Hospital: Apollo Cancer Centre

Had my gallbladder out last Tuesday. The first couple days were rough, I won't lie. But Dr. Chandrasekar and his team had a clear plan for the pain. They checked on me often, adjusted things when I needed it. It wasn't just pills; they talked me through moving and breathing to help. I'm home now, sore but manageable, and each day is a little better. The follow-up call from his office yesterday was a nice touch.

Doctor: Dr. Sanjay Chandrasekar Hospital: Apollo Cancer Centre

I was so nervous before my hernia operation. Dr. Chandrasekar has a very calm way about him. He took time to answer all my questions, even the silly ones, without making me feel rushed. The surgery itself went smoothly, and the nurses were wonderful. The parking lot was completely full when we arrived, which added to my stress, but once inside, everything was handled so gently. I'm healing well, and I'm just very grateful.

Doctor: Dr. Sanjay Chandrasekar Hospital: Apollo Cancer Centre

After months of worrying about this lump, seeing Dr. Chandrasekar was a huge relief! He got me in for scans quickly and explained everything in a way that actually made sense. The surgery was yesterday, and he just popped in this morning with the biopsy results—benign! I could have cried right there. The whole team at Apollo was fantastic, but he really made me feel like I was in the best hands. What a weight off.

Doctor: Dr. Vincent Thamburaj Hospital: Apollo Cancer Centre

My case was a real puzzle for a while. I'd been to a couple of doctors with these vague symptoms, and nothing was adding up. Dr. Thamburaj was the first one to really sit and connect the dots. He ordered a specific test the others hadn't, and it finally gave us an answer. It was a relief just to know what we were dealing with, and his plan from there made sense.
