Patient Experience
Appendicitis. Went to Apollo Greams Road. Dr. Raj Palaniappan diagnosed it quickly. Surgery was smooth. Staff was efficient. Follow-up instructions were clear. Recovering well. Would recommend.
I was quite nervous before my hernia operation. Dr. Raj has a very calm way about him. He took the time to draw a little diagram for me on the paper covering the exam table, showing exactly what he would do. It put my mind at ease. The whole experience, even with the busy hospital parking, felt gentle.
Wow, what a relief! I'd been putting off this procedure for ages because I was so anxious. From the consult to the discharge, Dr. Raj and his team were fantastic. He has a great sense of humor that really cuts the tension. I'm home now, feeling a million times better than I have in years. So glad I finally went!
I was a total wreck before my appointment. First time seeing a specialist, and my mind was racing with worst-case scenarios. Dr. Refai just had this calm way about him. He listened, explained everything in simple terms, and by the end, I felt silly for being so scared. He didn't rush me out, either. Left Apollo feeling like a weight was off my shoulders.
My 8-year-old son had a high fever that wouldn't break, and we were panicking. Dr. Showkathali at Apollo was so gentle with him. He got down on his level, talked to him about superheroes while checking his ears, and made the whole thing feel like an adventure. He took his time explaining the infection to us, answered all our frantic questions, and called the next day to check in. Seeing my kid smile at the doctor meant everything.
Had a weird stomach thing for weeks. Saw Dr. Refai Showkathali. He figured it out fast, gave me a clear plan. No fuss, got the job done. Parking at the hospital was a nightmare, though.
So, I'd been putting off this general check-up for ages, you know how it is. Finally dragged myself to Apollo. The wait was longer than I hoped, but once I got in with Dr. Showkathali, it was different. He didn't just glance at my chart; he asked about my work stress, my sleep, things I didn't even think were connected. He connected dots I didn't see. The follow-up email with my test results had a personal note from him. It felt like he actually remembered our conversation, which these days, is rare.
I was really nervous about seeing a doctor for my stomach issues. I'd put it off for weeks. The Apollo hospital is huge and a bit overwhelming, honestly. But Dr. Sai Krishna Vittal was so calm. He didn't rush me at all, even though I know he was busy. He explained everything in a way that made sense, and by the time I left, I felt like I could actually handle it. He just made a scary thing feel normal.
Had a persistent cough for over a month. Went to Apollo Greams Road. Saw Dr. Vittal. He listened, asked clear questions, ordered the right tests. Diagnosis was straightforward, treatment worked. Efficient, no-nonsense care. Would see him again.
My husband insisted I get this check-up, and I'm so glad he did. Dr. Vittal has such a gentle way about him. He took his time, and he really heard what I was trying to say, even when I was fumbling for words. The whole experience, despite being in a big hospital, felt personal. He's a very kind doctor.
Finally got some answers! I've been feeling run-down forever, seeing different people. Dr. Vittal actually pieced it together. He was so thorough, asked about stuff no one else did. I walked out of there with a plan and, for the first time in ages, feeling hopeful. What a relief!
My mother was admitted with a high fever and confusion. Dr. Revathy was the one who saw her. She called me directly to explain what she thought was happening—it was a tricky urinary infection affecting her brain. She didn't sugarcoat it, but she laid out the plan so clearly. She even gave me her direct line for the ward. Mum's back home now, still a bit tired, but herself again. That call made all the difference to us.
Took my son in. He'd had stomach pain for days. The waiting area was packed, I was worried we'd be rushed. Dr. Revathy listened to everything, asked my boy questions too, not just me. She said it was likely a bad reaction to some new food, but ordered a scan just to be sure. It came back clear. She called with the results herself. Straight talk, no fuss. We left feeling heard.
When my husband had his scare, we were so frightened. Dr. Revathy has a very calm way about her. She sat with me in the family room and drew a little diagram on a notepad to show what was happening with his heart. She spoke softly, made sure I understood each medicine's purpose. It wasn't just care for him; it was care for me, too, in that moment. Her kindness was a real comfort.
Wow, what a relief! My dad's regular check-up turned into something more when Dr. Shanmugam spotted a inconsistency in his bloodwork everyone else had missed. She got him scheduled for more tests that same afternoon—no waiting around. She was so on the ball and explained everything to us with this confident energy. We caught the issue super early because of her. Just fantastic!
I'd been to three other doctors about this constant fatigue and weird joint pain. Everyone said it was stress or just getting older. Dr. Premkumar actually sat and listened to the whole, messy story. He ordered some specific tests no one else had thought of, and it turned out to be something quite rare. He explained it to me in a way that finally made sense, without making me feel stupid for being worried. He didn't just treat a symptom; he found the actual problem.
Needed a minor cyst removed. Honestly, I was more nervous about the hospital experience than the procedure itself. Dr. Premkumar's team at Apollo had it all sorted. The whole thing was over in what felt like twenty minutes. He checked in before and after, the instructions for care were clear, and the scar is barely there now. It was just... straightforward, exactly what you hope for with something routine.
Parking at Greams Road is always a nightmare, I won't lie. But once I got inside, the place just felt calm. The front desk people remembered my name from my last call, and the nurse who took my vitals was really kind—she could tell I was anxious and just chatted about the weather to distract me. It made waiting to see Dr. Premkumar much easier. The environment there really does make a difference.
What sticks with me is how he talks to you. I had a lot of questions, some probably silly. He never rushed me. He'd sit back, think for a second, and give me a real answer, sometimes even drawing a little diagram. When he told me I needed to start a new medication, he was honest about the side effects but also really encouraging. You feel like you're in it together, not just being given orders.
I'd been to a few doctors about this nagging abdominal pain, and everyone said it was just stress. Dr. Reddy actually listened, really listened, to everything I described. He ordered a specific scan the others hadn't, and it turned out to be a pretty rare intestinal issue. He explained it all in a way that finally made sense, without making me feel stupid for being worried. It wasn't a quick fix, but having the right diagnosis was a huge relief.
