Doctor: Dr. Subhashini Venkatesh Hospital: Apollo Heart Centre Chennai

Had a gallbladder removal last Tuesday. The first couple days were rough, I won't lie. But Dr. Subhashini's team had a clear plan for the pain. She checked on me every morning, adjusted my meds based on how I was actually feeling, not just a chart. It wasn't magic, but it was managed. I'm home now, moving slow, but each day is a little easier. She made a scary process feel... step-by-step.

My appointment with Dr. Subhashini Venkatesh was for persistent abdominal pain. The waiting room was busy, but once I got in, she was direct. Asked specific questions, ordered the right scans quickly. Diagnosis was clear, treatment started immediately. No fluff, just action. Problem identified, solution given. Effective.

Doctor: Dr. Subhashini Venkatesh Hospital: Apollo Heart Centre Chennai

I was quite nervous about my procedure. Dr. Subhashini has such a calm way about her. She explained everything in a quiet, gentle voice and made sure I understood before we moved forward. Even when I asked the same question twice, she was just as patient. The care at Apollo felt very considerate. It made a difficult time much softer.

Finally got some answers! After months of feeling run-down and weird heart flutters, Dr. Venkatesh figured it out. She listened to everything, even the stuff I thought was silly. The relief when she laid out the treatment plan was huge. I walked out of Apollo Heart Centre feeling like I had my life back. So glad I went to see her!

Doctor: Dr. Samundeswari V Hospital: Apollo Heart Centre Chennai

My hands were shaking in the waiting room. It was my first time seeing a cardiologist and I was convinced the worst was about to be confirmed. Dr. Samundeswari came in, sat down, and just talked to me for a good ten minutes before even looking at my file. She explained everything in such a normal way, like she was just helping a friend figure something out. By the time she ordered the tests, I wasn't scared anymore. She called me herself with the results, which were fine, and told me to just cut back on the coffee. I feel silly for being so nervous, but she made it okay.

Had chest discomfort. Went to Apollo Heart Centre. Saw Dr. Samundeswari V. She listened, asked clear questions, ordered an ECG and echo. Diagnosis was costochondritis. She explained it, gave a treatment plan. Follow-up was smooth. Problem resolved. Efficient, clear, no nonsense. Good experience.

Doctor: Dr. Samundeswari V Hospital: Apollo Heart Centre Chennai

I was so worried about my father's heart condition. We came from out of town, and the hospital was very big and busy. Dr. Samundeswari was... gentle. She didn't rush us. She looked at my father and spoke directly to him, not just to me, which he appreciated. Her voice was always calm. She drew little diagrams on a notepad to show us what was happening. The parking was difficult, and we waited a bit, but once we were with her, she gave us all the time we needed. We left feeling cared for, not just treated.

Doctor: Dr. Samundeswari V Hospital: Apollo Heart Centre Chennai

What a relief! I'd been getting these palpitations for weeks and my GP sent me here. Honestly, I was braced for bad news and a huge list of dos and don'ts. Dr. Samundeswari is fantastic! She did all the checks, laughed a little, and said, 'Your heart is strong. This is just stress and too much chai.' She had this great energy—reassuring but also practical. Gave me some simple lifestyle tweaks, and it's been a month now with no issues. So glad I went to see her!

Doctor: Dr. Senthil Kamalasekaran Hospital: Apollo Heart Centre Chennai

My appointment with Dr. Senthil was arranged by my son. I must admit, I was a little nervous about seeing a new doctor at my age. The waiting area was comfortable, though it was quite busy. When Dr. Senthil came in, he had a very calm manner. He didn't rush me at all, listened carefully to my old stories about my health, and explained everything about my new medication in a way I could understand. He made sure my daughter, who was with me, also understood. I left feeling properly looked after.

I was so worried before my consultation. My hands were practically shaking. But Dr. Senthil… he has such a gentle way of speaking. He asked his questions softly and let me take my time to answer. Even when the news wasn't what I'd hoped for, he laid out the path forward with such kindness. It didn't feel clinical; it felt like someone truly cared about guiding me through this. That meant a great deal.

Doctor: Dr. Senthil Kamalasekaran Hospital: Apollo Heart Centre Chennai

Okay, full disclosure: the parking situation at Apollo that day was a nightmare! I was already stressed. But seeing Dr. Senthil completely turned it around. He's got this great energy—you can tell he loves what he does. He looked at all my reports, cracked a little joke to lighten the mood, and then gave me a crystal-clear plan. For the first time in months, I felt like I had a handle on things. What a relief!

Doctor: Dr. Sadhana Dhavapalani Hospital: Apollo Heart Centre Chennai

I've been seeing Dr. Sadhana for my blood pressure for almost eight years now. She remembers the little things—asks about my grandson, remembers I hate that one medication that made me dizzy. That consistency is what keeps me coming back to Apollo. You don't find many doctors who look at you as a whole person, not just a chart, for that long. She's just steady, and that's what you need.

Doctor: Dr. Sadhana Dhavapalani Hospital: Apollo Heart Centre Chennai

I was a complete wreck before my appointment. Convinced myself I had every symptom on Google. Dr. Dhavapalani just had this calm way about her. She actually listened to all my (probably silly) worries without making me feel rushed or stupid, then explained everything in a way that finally made sense. Walked out feeling like a weight was lifted. The clinic was busy and I waited a bit, but she was worth it.

Dr. Dhavapalani is good. Straight to the point, tells you how it is. Fixed my issue, gave clear instructions. No fuss. Parking at Apollo is always a nightmare though.

Doctor: Dr. Sadhana Dhavapalani Hospital: Apollo Heart Centre Chennai

My experience was a bit of a journey. I went in for what I thought was just lingering fatigue. Dr. Dhavapalani didn't just shrug it off. She asked a ton of questions about my sleep, my diet, things I wouldn't have thought to mention. Ordered a couple of specific tests I'd never had before. Turns out, my iron was way lower than it should be. Started the treatment she suggested, and honestly, I feel like myself again. It wasn't a magic fix, but she connected the dots everyone else missed.

Had my gallbladder out last Tuesday. The first couple days were rough, I won't lie. But Dr. Fernando's team had a clear plan for the pain. They checked on me regularly, adjusted things when I needed it, and explained what each ache probably was. It wasn't magic, but it was managed. I'm moving around more each day now, which feels like a real win.

I was quite anxious before my operation. Dr. Fernando has a very calm way about him. He listened to all my worries without rushing me, and his quiet confidence made a world of difference. The hospital was busy, but his manner made me feel looked after. I'm very grateful.

Finally got my hernia fixed! After putting it off for ages, I saw Dr. Fernando. The whole thing was smoother than I'd built up in my head. The staff were great, and he made sure I knew what to expect afterwards. So relieved it's done and I'm on the mend. Back to my garden soon!
