Patient Experience
We needed to get our daughter's vaccinations updated before starting school. Honestly, I was dreading the tears and the fuss. The appointment with Dr. Menon was quick, but not rushed. He chatted with her about her favorite cartoon while the nurse got things ready, and before she really knew what was happening, it was done. She barely flinched. It was the smoothest shot she's ever had. We were in and out, and she got a sticker.
The hospital itself is big and can feel a bit overwhelming, especially when your kid is sick. Parking was a nightmare that day, I won't lie. But once we got inside, the front desk people were really kind and helped us find our way. The nurse who took my son's vitals was so patient with him while he was squirming. The whole place felt clean and calm, which helped settle my own nerves a bit while we waited for Dr. Menon.
What I remember most is how Dr. Menon talked to my son, not just to me. My boy was really nervous, hiding behind my legs. Dr. Menon got down on his level, showed him the stethoscope, and let him listen to his own heartbeat first. He asked him about his toy truck. It turned a scary check-up into something my son actually felt a part of. That kind of patience and warmth is something you don't forget.
Our son had been sick for weeks, and no one could figure out why. We were getting scared. Dr. Kalpana actually sat with us for a long time, going over every tiny detail we remembered. She connected things other doctors missed and ordered a specific test we hadn't done. It turned out to be something rare but treatable. She just didn't give up.
My daughter needed her tonsils out, and I was a nervous wreck about the whole thing. The day of the surgery at Apollo, Dr. Kalpana explained everything again in simple words, even drew a little picture. The procedure itself was straightforward, and my kid was eating ice cream and watching cartoons that evening. It was such a relief when something just goes as planned.
Honestly, the parking at Apollo was a nightmare that day, and I was frazzled by the time we got in. But the nurses at Dr. Kalpana's clinic were so calm and kind. They got my toddler to smile with a sticker, and the play area in the waiting room was a lifesaver. It made a stressful visit feel manageable.
What I remember most is how Dr. Kalpana talks to my child, not just to me. She gets down on his level, asks him about his toys. He used to scream at the sight of a doctor's coat, but now he walks in okay. She has this quiet, patient way about her that makes all the difference.
My son had a persistent fever that wouldn't break. Dr. Reddy saw us quickly, diagnosed it correctly, and gave clear instructions. Back to school in two days. Exactly what we needed.
I was so scared bringing my baby in for the first time—everything felt like an emergency. Dr. Reddy was so calm. He explained things in a way that actually made sense and didn't make me feel silly for worrying. The clinic was busy but he took his time with us. My little one is fine now and I feel way less panicked about the whole parenting thing.
Look, the parking at Apollo is always a nightmare. But Dr. Reddy is good. Straight to the point, no unnecessary tests. Told me what was wrong with my kid, how to fix it, and sent us home. Works for me.
My daughter, Anika, had been tired and off her food for over a week. We saw another doctor who just said it was a virus. Dr. Reddy listened to the whole story, even the small stuff I almost didn't mention. He checked her over thoroughly, asked a lot of questions, and figured out it was a mild ear infection starting on the other side. He said catching it early saved us a worse visit later. The whole thing felt like he was putting a puzzle together. We got the right medicine, and she was back to her chatty self in 48 hours.
My 8-year-old, Rohan, had been running a fever for five days straight and none of the usual medicines were helping. We were terrified. Dr. Latha at Apollo Children's was so calm. She didn't just look at the chart; she sat on the bed, talked to Rohan about his favorite cartoon, and really listened to him describe his headache. She explained the possible causes to us in a way we could understand, and her plan worked. Seeing my son smile and ask for chips on the drive home was everything. She treated him like a person, not just a patient.
I'm 19 and this was my first time going to a doctor by myself, without my parents. I was so nervous my hands were shaking in the waiting room. Dr. Latha Parthasarathy just had this way of making it all feel normal. She asked about my college course first, before any medical stuff, and it just took the edge off. She explained everything she was checking and why, without talking down to me. I left feeling like I could handle being an adult, and my sinus infection was clearing up in a couple days.
Took my son to see Dr. Latha K. Parthasarathy at Apollo Children's for a bad cough. Wait was a bit long, but once we got in, it was straightforward. She was direct, diagnosed it quickly as bronchitis, gave clear instructions for the medicine. Followed up in 3 days, kid was much better. Good experience.
We'd been to two other doctors about my daughter Anya's constant stomach aches. They'd just say 'indigestion' and send us off. At Apollo, Dr. Latha was different. She spent nearly forty minutes with us, asking Anya about school, her friends, what she ate for lunch, even if the playground at school made her anxious. She connected dots we didn't see—turns out the pains were linked to some bullying Anya was too scared to tell us about. Dr. Latha gave us a treatment plan for the acid reflux, sure, but she also gave us gentle advice on how to talk to Anya's teacher. It was about fixing the whole problem, not just the symptom. That meant more than any prescription.
My son had been tired and pale for weeks, and our local doctor couldn't figure it out. We were really scared. Dr. Solomon listened to everything, even the small stuff I thought was silly to mention. He ordered a specific blood test other doctors hadn't, and it turned out to be a rare type of anemia. He explained it to us in simple terms, drew diagrams on his notepad, and made a clear plan. We're still managing it, but at least we know what we're fighting.
Our daughter needed her tonsils out. Honestly, I was more nervous than she was. Dr. Solomon walked us through the whole thing the week before, so there were no surprises. The day of, he popped his head in before the surgery just to say hello and crack a little joke with her. The procedure itself was straightforward, and she recovered exactly like he said she would. It was a relief to have something go so smoothly.
The parking at Apollo was a nightmare that morning—totally full. By the time we got to the clinic, my toddler was fussy and I was flustered. The receptionist saw us, gave me a knowing smile, and found some crayons for him right away. The nurse who took his vitals was so patient, even when he didn't want to cooperate. The whole place just felt calm, which helped me calm down too. Dr. Solomon was great, but the team around him really made a tough morning easier.
What I remember most is how Dr. Solomon talked to my son, not just to me. He got down on his level, asked him about his school and his cartoons. My boy was shy and hiding behind my legs at first, but by the end, he was showing the doctor his toy car. It made all the difference. You can tell he genuinely likes kids and knows how to make them feel safe. That kind of trust is everything when your child is sick.
My son had a fever that just wouldn't break. We were scared. Dr. Desai saw us, and she just had this calm way about her. She explained everything to me, not just the medicine but what was happening in his little body. She made sure I understood before we left. It meant a lot, not feeling rushed when you're worried.
