Patient Experience
Had a persistent cough for over a month. Went to Apollo Firstmed. Saw Dr. Deepak Lamech. He listened, asked clear questions, ordered the right tests. Diagnosis was straightforward. Got a treatment plan. It worked. No fuss, no drama. He's a good, efficient doctor. Would see him again if needed.
I was quite nervous about my check-up; hospitals always make me a bit uneasy. Dr. Lamech has a very gentle way about him. He didn't rush me, and he explained my blood pressure readings without using complicated words. The parking lot was very full that day, which added to my stress, but his manner really put me at ease. I left feeling looked after and much less concerned. A very kind doctor.
Honestly, I thought it was just a bad flu that wouldn't quit. Felt awful for ten days. My wife finally dragged me to Apollo. Dr. Lamech took one look at me, heard my chest, and said, 'This isn't just flu.' Turns out, it was pneumonia! He got me on the right meds immediately. Within 48 hours, I was breathing easier. What a relief! I'm so glad I went in. He really knows his stuff and didn't mess around. Back to work now, feeling like myself again!
Our 5-year-old, Arjun, had been running a high fever for days and was just so listless. We were really scared. Dr. Vaidhyanathan at Apollo Firstmed saw us, and the way he spoke to Arjun first, getting him to smile a little, put us at ease. He explained everything to us in simple terms—what it likely was, what to watch for. He didn't just treat the fever; he treated our worry. The follow-up call from his team the next day to check on Arjun meant a lot. He's back to his noisy, energetic self now.
Had a persistent stomach issue for weeks. Went to see Dr. D Vaidhyanathan at Apollo Firstmed. Clinic was busy, had to wait a bit. He listened, asked clear questions, ordered the right tests. Diagnosis was straightforward, treatment worked. No fuss, effective. Would see him again if needed.
I was quite anxious about my ongoing fatigue. Dr. Vaidhyanathan has such a calm manner. He didn't rush me at all, even though I know the waiting room was full. He listened to everything I said, and his advice felt very considered and kind. The hospital itself is large, but his clinic felt like a quiet space. I left feeling heard and with a clear path forward, which is what I needed most.
What a relief! I'd been to two other doctors for this nagging cough and nothing helped. Found Dr. Vaidhyanathan. Finally, someone who looked at the whole picture, not just the symptom. He figured it out in one visit. Started the new medication he suggested, and within three days I felt like a new person. So glad I went to Apollo Firstmed and got to see him. He really knows his stuff!
I was a total wreck before my appointment. First time seeing a doctor on my own, and I was convinced it was something awful. Dr. Devarajan just had this calm way about him. He listened to my whole panicked story, did a quick check, and explained everything in simple words. Walked out of Apollo Firstmed feeling silly for worrying so much, but mostly just relieved.
Been seeing Dr. Devarajan for my blood pressure and general check-ups for about eight years now. That's the thing—you know exactly what you're getting. No surprises, no rushing. He remembers my history, asks about my family, and his advice has been steady and sensible. In a city that changes fast, it's good to have a doctor you don't have to second-guess.
Needed a doc for a stubborn cough. Friend recommended Dr. Devarajan at Apollo Firstmed. Got an appointment, went in, he checked me over, prescribed meds. It worked. Parking at the hospital is always a hassle, but the visit itself was straightforward. He's good. Would go back if I needed to.
My story with Dr. T V Devarajan started on a really rough Tuesday. I'd been feeling off for weeks—tired, no appetite. The waiting area at the hospital was packed, and I almost left. When I finally got in, he didn't just glance at my file. He asked questions I hadn't even thought to mention, like how work was stressing me out. He connected dots I didn't see. Put me on a simple plan for diet and sleep, not just pills. It took a few weeks, but I finally started feeling like myself again. That kind of attention makes all the difference.
I'd been to three other doctors for this nagging stomach pain and fatigue. Everyone said it was just stress. Dr. Senthil Kumar actually sat and listened to my whole history, asked a bunch of questions the others hadn't. He ordered a specific test the others dismissed. Turns out, it was a tricky gallbladder issue that wasn't showing up on the usual scans. He explained it in a way that finally made sense. I'm just relieved someone finally figured it out.
Had to get a small cyst removed from my back. Honestly, I was nervous about the whole thing. But Dr. Senthil Kumar made it so straightforward. The procedure itself was over before I knew it, and he talked me through each step. The stitches were neat, healing was a breeze. It felt like just another day at the office for him, which was exactly the calm I needed.
Parking at Apollo Firstmed was a nightmare that day, I won't lie. But once I got inside, the whole experience changed. The front desk lady saw I was flustered and helped me out quickly. The nurse who took my vitals was really kind and cracked a joke to lighten the mood. Even the person who brought water was smiling. It felt like a team effort, and that made waiting for my appointment with the doctor much easier.
What I remember most about Dr. Senthil Kumar is how he talks to you. He doesn't just look at the file. He looks at you. When he explained my treatment plan, he drew a little diagram on his notepad. He asked if I had any questions twice, and actually waited for an answer. He has this quiet, steady way about him that makes you feel like you're in good hands, not just on an assembly line.
I'd been to three other doctors about this constant fatigue and stomach pain. They all said it was stress. Dr. Bharadwaj at Apollo Firstmed was the first one who actually listened. He ordered a different set of tests, sat me down, and explained it could be a rare vitamin absorption issue. He was right. It wasn't a quick fix, but having a real answer after months of feeling awful made all the difference.
Had to get a small cyst removed. Honestly, I was nervous at first, but the whole thing was so straightforward. Dr. Bharadwaj explained each step in the room at Apollo, the procedure itself was over in what felt like minutes, and the aftercare instructions were clear. It healed up just fine. Sometimes simple things going right is all you need.
The parking at Apollo Firstmed was a nightmare that day, I won't lie. But once I got inside, the front desk lady could see I was flustered and helped me sort my papers quickly. The nurse who took my vitals was really kind and chatted with me to pass the time. It made waiting for Dr. Bharadwaj a lot less stressful. A good team makes a big impression.
What I remember most is how Dr. Bharadwaj talked to my elderly mother. She gets confused easily. He didn't rush her, he asked her questions directly but gently, and he made sure she understood everything before we left. He has a calm way about him that just puts you at ease. You feel like a person, not just a case.
For months, I just felt off—tired, some aches, nothing I could really point to. My old doctor kept saying it was stress. Dr. Venkataswami listened differently. He asked questions about things that seemed unrelated, like a weird rash I'd had. He connected dots I didn't even see, ordered a specific blood test, and found it was a tricky autoimmune thing. He explained it all with a diagram on his notepad. Finally having a name for it, and a plan, was a huge relief.
