Patient Experience
Had to get a small cyst removed from my back. Honestly, I was nervous at first, but Dr. Raj P talked me through the whole thing in the clinic. The procedure itself was over in maybe twenty minutes. He checked in the next day, and the healing's been straightforward. Sometimes you just want something simple to stay simple, and it did.
The parking at Apollo Firstmed was a nightmare that day, completely full. By the time I got to the clinic, I was pretty flustered. But the lady at the front desk was really calm and got me sorted quickly. The whole place felt clean and quiet, which helped me settle down before my appointment with Dr. Raj.
What I remember most is how he explained things. I had a lot of questions about my dad's new medication plan, and Dr. Raj P didn't rush. He drew a little diagram on his notepad about how it works, used plain language, and made sure we both understood. He has a very calm, direct way about him that cuts through the worry.
I'd been to a couple of doctors about this constant fatigue and stomach pain, and everyone just said it was stress. Dr. Kodeeswaran was different. He actually listened, asked a ton of questions I hadn't been asked before, and ordered some specific tests others hadn't. Turns out it was a tricky vitamin deficiency causing the main issue. He explained it all with a diagram on his notepad—made it simple. Finally felt like someone had actually figured it out.
Had to get a small cyst removed. Honestly, I was pretty nervous about the whole thing. Dr. Kodeeswaran and his team at Apollo Firstmed made it a non-event. The procedure itself was quick, he talked me through each step so I knew what was happening, and the recovery was exactly as he said it would be. No surprises, just straightforward care. It's a relief when something that seems big turns out to be so simple.
The hospital itself was busy—parking took a while—but once I got inside, it made a difference. The front desk people were patient with my questions, and the nurse who took my vitals had a really calm way about her. It felt organized, not chaotic. When Dr. Kodeeswaran came in, he was in sync with his team, which just made the whole visit feel more coordinated and less stressful.
What stuck with me was how Dr. Kodeeswaran talks to you. He doesn't just look at the file; he looks at you. I was worried about some test results, and he could tell. He sat down, didn't rush, and broke down what everything meant in plain language, asking if I understood. It wasn't just clinical; it felt like he cared about whether I was actually okay with the information. That kind of attention is rare.
Had a persistent stomach issue for weeks. Booked a slot with Dr. Jayapriya Ramas at Apollo Firstmed. She was direct, diagnosed it quickly, and the treatment plan worked. Exactly what I needed—no fuss, just fixed it. Back to work.
My 8-year-old son had a high fever that wouldn't break, and we were really scared. Dr. Jayapriya was so calm with him, explaining everything in a way he could understand. She didn't just treat the fever; she checked him over completely and talked us through every step. We left feeling like we knew what to do and that he was in good hands. She has a real way with kids.
Look, I was feeling run down for ages. Saw Dr. Jayapriya. She listened, ran the right tests, figured it out. Parking at the hospital is always a nightmare, but the appointment itself was good. She's straightforward, which I like.
I'd been putting off a general check-up for years, just nervous about what they might find. The clinic at Apollo was busy, I waited a bit past my time, which had me more anxious. But Dr. Jayapriya changed the whole tone. She walked in, sat down, and just asked 'So, what's been on your mind?' It felt like a conversation, not an interrogation. We talked about my family history, my lifestyle, and she ordered tests that actually made sense for me. When the results came back, she called me herself to explain the good and the 'let's keep an eye on this' parts. Felt like I finally have a doctor who sees the whole picture, not just a chart.
I'd been to a couple of doctors about this nagging fatigue and weird joint pain. Everyone said it was stress or maybe just getting older. Dr. Lakshmi Narasimhan was the first one who actually listened to my whole history, even the stuff I thought was unrelated. He ordered a specific blood test no one else had mentioned. Turns out, it was something pretty rare. He explained it all to me in plain English, drew diagrams on his notepad. I'm on treatment now and finally starting to feel like myself. It was a long road, but he figured it out.
Had to get a small cyst removed. Honestly, I was nervous at first, but Dr. Narasimhan made it so straightforward. The whole thing at Apollo Firstmed was quick. He talked me through each step before he did it, which helped a lot. I was in and out in under an hour, parking was a bit of a hassle that day, but the procedure itself? Smoother than I expected. Follow-up was easy, and it healed up just fine.
The clinic at Apollo Firstmed was running behind schedule when I went, which happens. But what stood out was how the nurses handled it. They kept us updated, offered water, and were really kind. When I finally saw Dr. Narasimhan, he didn't rush at all despite the delay. The whole team, from the front desk to the doctor, just worked well together. It felt calm, even when it was busy.
What I remember most is how he talked to my elderly mother. She gets confused easily and is scared of hospitals. Dr. Lakshmi Narasimhan pulled up a chair, sat right next to her, and spoke so gently. He checked with her to make sure she understood, never talked down to her. He has this quiet, patient way about him that just puts you at ease. That meant more to our family than any medicine.
At my age, you get used to doctors rushing you. Dr. Murali was different. He took his time, explained everything about my arthritis in simple terms, and actually listened when I talked about my knee pain. The hospital was clean and the staff were kind. I left feeling heard, which is rare.
Had a bad stomach bug that wouldn't quit. Needed a doctor who could see me fast and get it sorted. Booked with Dr. Ramamoorthy at Apollo Firstmed. Appointment was on time, diagnosis was clear, prescription worked. Back to work in two days. Exactly what I needed.
Look, I was skeptical. Another general physician? But my regular doc was away. Dr. Murali cut through the nonsense. No unnecessary tests, just asked the right questions. Fixed my sinus issue with one med change. Guy knows his stuff. Would go back.
I'd been feeling run down for weeks. My wife finally made me book an appointment. The waiting area was packed, I was there for about 25 minutes past my slot, which I wasn't thrilled about. But once I got in, Dr. Murali was completely focused. He didn't just ask about symptoms; he asked about my work stress, sleep, everything. Ordered a couple of basic blood tests right there at the hospital, called me himself with the results the next afternoon. Turns out I was severely vitamin D deficient. Started supplements he recommended, and I've felt like a new person for the last month. It wasn't just about writing a prescription; he figured out the 'why'.
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.
