Patient Experience
Had to get a small cyst removed. Honestly, I was nervous at first, but the whole thing was so straightforward. Dr. Srikanth talked me through each step before he did it, the local anesthetic worked perfectly, and it was over in what felt like minutes. The follow-up was quick, and the scar is barely there now. Just a smooth, simple experience from start to finish.
The parking at Apollo was a nightmare that day, completely full. I was flustered by the time I got to the clinic. But the front desk lady was really kind, got me sorted quickly, and the nurse who took my vitals had a calming way about her. The waiting area was quiet, which helped. By the time I saw Dr. Srikanth, I’d actually relaxed a bit. The whole team made a difference.
What I remember most is how he talked to my elderly mother. She gets confused easily. He didn't rush her, he knelt down so he was at eye level with her wheelchair, and used very simple words. He checked with her if she understood, not just with me. You could see her anxiety just melt away. That kind of patience and respect is rare.
Had my gallbladder out last month. The first few days were rough, I won't lie. But Dr. Sivakumar's team had a clear plan for the pain. They checked on me regularly, adjusted things when I needed it. It wasn't just pills; they explained how to move, when to rest. I'm back to walking the dog now, slowly. The whole thing felt managed, not just endured.
Appendicitis. Went to Apollo Greams Road. Dr. Sivakumar K S saw me. Explained the surgery quickly. Did it. Follow-up was clear. I'm fine now.
I was so nervous before my hernia operation. Dr. Sivakumar has a very calm way about him. He listened to all my worries, even the silly ones, and never made me feel rushed. The hospital was busy, but he always made time. I felt looked after, truly. It makes a difference when you're scared.
Finally got my knee sorted! After years of putting it off, saw Dr. Sivakumar. Straight talk, no sugar-coating, but also totally confident. Surgery went smoothly, and the difference is night and day. The physio plan he set up is tough but it's working. I can actually climb stairs without wincing. What a relief!
I'd been to a few doctors about this constant fatigue and weird stomach pain. Everyone said it was stress. Dr. Sudeepta Swain was different. He actually sat and listened, asked questions I hadn't been asked before, and didn't rush. He ordered some specific tests others hadn't thought of. Turns out it was a tricky thyroid issue combined with a mild food intolerance. He explained it all on a notepad, drawing little diagrams. I finally feel like I have answers, and a plan that's working.
I needed a minor cyst removal. Honestly, I was nervous about any kind of procedure. Dr. Swain made it so simple. In his room at Apollo, he talked me through each step before he did it, which really helped. The whole thing was over in maybe ten minutes, and he kept checking if I was okay. It healed up perfectly with no fuss. Sometimes the simple things are done really well, and that matters.
The Apollo hospital on Greams Road is a busy place, I won't lie. Parking was a bit of a hunt. But once I got inside for my appointment with Dr. Swain, his team was great. The nurse at the desk remembered me from my last visit, and his assistant was really kind when I couldn't find my old reports. The clinic area felt calm and clean, which helped settle my nerves before going in. It's the people that make a place feel less like a factory.
What I'll remember most about Dr. Swain is how he talks to you. He doesn't talk at you. I had a lot of anxiety about some test results, and he could tell. He pulled up a chair, sat right next to me, and just said, 'Let's look at this together, and I'll tell you what it all means.' No big medical jargon, just clear, honest talk. He has a quiet way of making you feel like you're the only patient he has that day.
I'd been to a couple of doctors with this weird fatigue and stomach pain, and everyone just said it was stress. Dr. Oomman actually listened. He asked about things no one else did, like a trip I took years ago. He ordered a specific test I'd never heard of, and it turned out to be a tricky parasitic thing. He explained it all on a notepad, drawing little diagrams. I'm on the mend now, and honestly, I think he's the only one who would have figured it out.
Had to get a minor cyst removed. I was nervous at first, but Dr. Oomman made it feel like no big deal. The whole thing was over in what felt like twenty minutes. He talked me through each step as he was doing it, which really kept my mind off things. The incision was so small I barely notice it now. It was just a very straightforward, smooth experience from check-in to the follow-up call.
The parking at Apollo was a nightmare that day, completely full. I was flustered by the time I got to the clinic. But the lady at the front desk was so calm and found my file immediately. The whole place just felt quiet and orderly, not chaotic like some hospitals. Even the nurse who took my vitals had a really kind way about her. It made waiting a bit for the doctor much easier to handle.
What I remember most is how he talked to my elderly mother. She gets confused easily and was scared. Dr. Oomman pulled up a chair, sat right next to her, and spoke so gently. He didn't just talk to me about her condition; he made sure she understood, using simple words and checking her eyes to see if she was following. He treated her with such respect, not just as a patient. That meant the world to us.
I was really nervous going in for my first check-up in years. Dr. Chandrasekar just had this calm way about him, asked simple questions, and actually listened. He explained everything without making me feel silly for being worried. Left feeling a lot lighter than when I walked in.
At my age, one does not wish to be rushed through an appointment. Dr. Chandrasekar was most considerate. He took his time, ensured I was comfortable, and explained my medication changes with great clarity. A very kind and professional gentleman at Apollo.
Had a stomach issue that wouldn't quit. Saw Dr. Chandrasekar. He was straight to the point, ordered the right tests, fixed me up. No fuss. Good doctor.
My appointment was at 3, but I didn't get in to see him until almost 3:45—the waiting area was packed. I was annoyed, but once I was in his room, he apologized for the wait without me even mentioning it. He spent a solid 25 minutes with me, drawing little diagrams on his notepad to show how the acid reflux was happening. He remembered a detail I'd mentioned about my tea habit from six months ago. It wasn't just a quick prescription; he walked me through the 'why' behind it all. That kind of attention makes you trust a person.
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.
