Patient Experience
My 8-year-old son had a fever that just wouldn't break for five days. We were so scared. Dr. Prabhakar saw him at Apollo Firstmed and was just so calm with him. He explained everything to my son in a way he could understand, not just to us. He didn't rush us at all, even though the clinic was busy. We left feeling like we finally knew what was happening and how to help him get better.
I hate going to doctors. I put off this weird stomach pain for weeks because I was nervous. Finally went to see Dr. Prabhakar. He just had this way of listening that made me feel silly for being so worried. He asked simple questions, did the check-up, and told me straight what it was (nothing serious, thank god). I felt a huge weight lift. He's the kind of doctor that makes you feel okay.
Had a bad sinus thing. Went to Dr. Prabhakar at Apollo Firstmed. He fixed it. Quick, clear advice. Good doctor.
Okay, so I woke up with this sharp pain in my side. Tried to ignore it, but by afternoon, I was driving myself to Apollo. The parking was a nightmare, which didn't help my mood. Dr. Prabhakar came in, and the first thing he did was ask me to describe the pain in my own words. He actually waited while I fumbled through it. He poked around, asked about my week (turns out I'd moved some heavy furniture), and figured it was a muscle strain. Gave me some simple stretches. What stuck with me was that he didn't jump to scans or anything fancy. Just listened and figured it out. Pain was gone in two days.
Had my gallbladder out last week. The first couple days were rough, I won't lie. But Dr. Padmapriya's 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 showed me how to move to make it easier. I'm walking more each day now, and the soreness is finally starting to fade. It feels manageable.
Appendicitis. Went to Apollo Firstmed. Dr. Chandran saw me, explained the surgery simply, no confusing terms. Got it done. Follow-up was clear: what to eat, when to come back. No fuss. Doing fine now.
I was quite nervous before my procedure at Apollo. Dr. Padmapriya has such a calm way about her. She listened to all my worries and never made me feel rushed. The hospital was busy, parking was a challenge, but her care made the difference. I felt truly looked after, and for that, I'm so grateful.
Finally got my hernia fixed with Dr. Chandran! What a relief. From the first consult, she was straight about what to expect and the results have been great. No more constant ache or worrying it'll get worse. The staff were really kind, even when I asked a million questions. I feel like myself again!
My mother was admitted with a high fever and confusion. The ER was busy, and we were scared. Dr. Sajai Varghese came to see her, and he explained everything to us in our language, not just medical terms. He told me, 'We will find out what this is, step by step.' He called me twice in the evening with updates. It turned out to be a tricky infection, but he had a clear plan. Seeing my mother recognize me again was everything. He treated her, and us, with real kindness.
My husband had severe abdominal pain. We went to Apollo Firstmed. Dr. Varghese was direct. He listened, examined him, and said, 'We need a scan, and we need it now.' No sugar-coating. He laid out the possibilities—some serious, some not. The waiting was hard, but he was honest. It was his appendix. They scheduled surgery quickly. He checked in post-op himself. The care was solid, no nonsense, just what we needed.
I brought my little boy in; he’d been poorly for days. I was so worried. Dr. Sajai has a very calm way about him. He didn’t rush us. He asked my son about his toys to make him comfortable. He explained the treatment plan to me so gently, making sure I understood each medicine. The hospital parking was full that day, and I was flustered, but his manner just put us both at ease. My son is back to his cheerful self now. We’re very grateful.
After weeks of feeling run-down and dizzy, I finally saw Dr. Varghese. I’d been nervous, putting it off. Wow, what a difference! He actually listened to all my weird symptoms, asked great questions, and figured it was a vitamin deficiency and stress. His energy was fantastic—he was like, 'Okay, let’s fix this!' Gave me a simple plan: supplements, diet tweaks, and follow-up. I feel like a new person! So glad I went. Total relief.
I'd been to a couple of other doctors for this nagging pain and fatigue, and everyone just said it was stress. Dr. Sabari was the first one who actually sat and listened, really pieced together all these small things I'd mentioned. He ordered some specific tests others hadn't, and it turned out to be something quite rare. He explained it all to me and my wife in a way that finally made sense. It was a relief just to have a real answer, even if the road ahead is long.
Had to get a minor cyst removed. Honestly, I was nervous at first, but Dr. Sabari made it so straightforward. The whole thing at Apollo Firstmed was quick – in and out in a few hours. The procedure itself was fine, barely felt a thing. He checked in the next day himself, which I wasn't expecting. It healed up perfectly, no fuss. Sometimes simple things are done well, and that matters.
The hospital itself was busy, I had to circle for parking, but once I got inside for my consultation, the difference was clear. The front desk people were patient with my questions, and the nurse who took my vitals was really kind, cracked a joke that settled my nerves. The place just felt calm and clean. It made waiting to see Dr. Sabari a lot easier, knowing the whole team seemed to have it together.
What I'll remember most about Dr. Sabari is how he talks to you. He doesn't rush. He sat down, looked me in the eye, and asked how I was *really* doing. When he explained my treatment plan, he drew a little diagram on his notepad. It felt like he was talking *with* me, not at me. That kind of respect makes you feel like you're in good hands, even when you're scared.
I was really nervous going in. It was my first time at Apollo Firstmed and I didn't know what to expect. Dr. Barath Kumar could probably tell I was anxious. He just talked to me in a really calm way, explained everything he was checking without using confusing words. He didn't rush me at all, even though I had a lot of questions. I left feeling like a weight was off my shoulders. The whole thing was much easier than I'd built up in my head.
Had a persistent stomach issue. Went to see Dr. Barath Kumar at Apollo Firstmed. He listened, asked clear questions, ordered the right tests. Got a diagnosis and a treatment plan that worked. Follow-up was efficient. Problem solved. Would recommend.
The hospital was quite busy when I went, but Dr. Kumar made the time feel... peaceful, if that makes sense. He has a very quiet, gentle way about him. He examined my son, who was feeling poorly, and spoke so kindly to him. He explained everything to me in a way that was easy to understand, without talking down to me. I felt heard, and more importantly, I felt my child was in good hands. A very kind doctor.
Finally! I've been dealing with this nagging pain in my shoulder for months. My friend said to try Dr. Barath Kumar, so I did. Honestly, the parking was a nightmare, but it was worth it. He figured out the issue in one visit—it was a pinched nerve, not what I thought at all. Gave me some exercises and it's already so much better. I feel like I got my life back! Dr. Kumar knows his stuff.
