Patient Experience
My brother was really scared when he got his diagnosis. Dr. Mahajan sat with all of us in the family room for nearly an hour, explaining everything in simple words and answering every single question my mom had, even the ones she asked twice. He never made us feel rushed. That meant more to us than anything.
Our 8-year-old daughter was admitted with a severe infection. Dr. Vikas Mahajan was the one who figured out what it was. He came to check on her three times a day, even on the weekend, and he'd always get down to her eye level to talk. He explained to her what the IV was for, which stopped the crying. We were a mess, but he was so calm and clear with us. We finally felt like someone was really in charge of her care.
Saw Dr. Mahajan at Apollo. Straight shooter. Told me what was wrong, what we could do about it, and what to expect. No sugarcoating, which I appreciate. Got me sorted.
I'd been feeling off for months, tired all the time. My local doc ran tests but just said to rest. Finally went to Apollo Cancer Centre. The waiting area was packed, I was nervous. Dr. Mahajan looked over my old reports, asked a bunch of questions about things no one else had—like specific aches and my energy levels at different times of day. He ordered one more specific scan. Called me himself with the results the next afternoon, caught it early. The whole process, from that first confusing visit to having a clear plan, was because he actually listened and connected the dots.
My case was a real puzzle for a while. Other doctors were scratching their heads, but Dr. Mani C S didn't give up. He ordered a specific set of tests I hadn't had before and sat with me for a long time explaining what the results could mean. It was scary, but he laid out a clear plan. Finding the right answer at Apollo felt like a huge weight lifted.
I needed a minor procedure and honestly, I was nervous at first. Dr. Mani made it seem so straightforward. The whole thing was over quickly, and his instructions for aftercare were simple to follow. No drama, no fuss. It was just a smooth experience from the consultation to the follow-up call.
The Apollo centre is a big place, and I got a bit lost finding the right wing. One of the nurses saw me looking confused and walked me right to Dr. Mani's door. The whole team, from the front desk to the lab, was just really efficient and calm. It made a stressful day much easier to handle.
What I remember most is how Dr. Mani talked to me. He didn't rush. He asked about my work and how the treatment might affect my daily routine. He has a quiet way of listening that makes you feel heard. You don't feel like just another file on his desk.
I was so scared walking into Apollo for the first time. My hands were shaking. Dr. Ayyappan just had this calm way about him, explained everything in simple words, and by the end I felt like I could actually breathe again. He didn't rush me at all.
At my age, one does not wish for more excitement, only for competent and kind care. Dr. S Ayyappan provided exactly that. He listened patiently to my old worries, his manner was very gentle, and he made a difficult time much more bearable. I am truly grateful.
Look, needed a doc, got Dr. Ayyappan. Straight shooter. Told me what was up, what we were gonna do, no sugar-coating. Got the job done. What more do you want?
I'd been putting off this check-up for months, just dreading it. The waiting room was packed, which didn't help. When I finally saw Dr. Ayyappan, he didn't just glance at my file. He leaned back, asked about my work, my family stress, and then connected it all to my symptoms. He sketched a little diagram on the notepad to show me what he thought was going on. It wasn't just a prescription; it felt like he actually saw the whole picture, which made following his advice a lot easier.
My husband was diagnosed last fall. It was a scary time for all of us. Dr. Pai was the one who sat us down, my kids and me, and explained everything in words we could actually understand. He didn't sugarcoat it, but he made us feel like we had a real plan. He always asked if we had questions, and he listened. That meant more than anything.
My mother needed surgery. We chose Apollo. Dr. Ajit Pai handled her case. He was clear, direct, and got straight to the point in every meeting. No confusing medical jargon, just the facts and the next steps. The waiting room was packed one day, but he still didn't rush us. We appreciated the efficiency and his no-nonsense approach.
I was so worried about my sister. When we met Dr. Pai, he had such a calm way about him. He spoke softly, took his time, and made sure we all felt heard. He remembered small details about her, like her fear of needles, and arranged for the nurse to be extra gentle. It’s his kindness I’ll remember most.
What a relief! After two confusing opinions, we saw Dr. Pai. Finally, someone who laid out a clear path forward. He was upbeat and confident without being pushy. When he walked in after the procedure with a smile and a thumbs-up, I almost cried. The hospital parking is a nightmare, but honestly, after that news, I didn’t even care.
Had a pretty major surgery with Dr. Sadacharan at Apollo. The first few days after were rough, obviously, but his team had a clear plan for the pain that actually worked. He checked on me every morning, adjusted things when I needed it, and didn't just throw pills at me. Felt like he was really focused on getting me through the worst of it and moving.
I've been under Dr. Sadacharan's care for my condition for over three years now. What I appreciate is that he remembers the details from my last visit, and his approach doesn't swing wildly from one appointment to the next. At Apollo Cancer Centre, you see a lot of faces, but having him as the constant, steady hand makes a huge difference. I trust his judgment because it's always measured and consistent.
Needed a general surgeon, got referred to Dr. Sadacharan. He explained what needed doing in plain language, no fluff. Did the procedure at Apollo, everything went fine. Follow-up was straightforward. He's a good doctor.
I was a nervous wreck walking into Apollo Cancer Centre, even though my issue turned out to be general surgery. Dr. Sadacharan has this very calm way about him. He sat down, drew a simple diagram on his notepad to show me exactly what he was going to do and why. The day of, I remember waiting in pre-op and he came by just to ask if I had any last questions—seemed like he had all the time in the world even though he was probably busy. Recovery had its ups and downs, but I kept thinking back to that diagram and his explanation; it made the whole process less scary because I understood it.
