Patient Experience
I'd been to three other doctors for this nagging abdominal pain, and everyone just said it was stress. Dr. Muralidharan actually listened. He asked questions about things no one else had, ordered a specific scan the others hadn't, and found the issue—it was a rare type of intestinal adhesion. He explained it all with a diagram on his notepad. Finally, an answer.
Needed a colonoscopy, which I was dreading. The prep was the worst part, honestly. On the day, Dr. Muralidharan and his team were quick and efficient. I was in and out of the procedure room before I knew it. He called me himself later with the all-clear results. It was just a routine check, but they made it feel straightforward and simple.
The Apollo waiting area was calm, I'll give them that. But what stood out was the nurse at the front desk. I was flustered because I'd forgotten my old reports, and parking had been a nightmare. She sorted everything out with a smile, got my file pulled up, and even found me a quieter corner to wait. It set the tone for the whole visit.
Look, I'm a nervous patient. I ask too many questions. Dr. Muralidharan never made me feel rushed. When he explained my treatment plan, he stopped and said, 'Tell me what part of that sounds confusing.' He has this calm way of talking that just... settles you down. You feel like you're in the room with him, not just being processed.
My 8-year-old son had been having these awful stomach pains for weeks. We saw a couple of doctors who just said it was 'growing pains.' Dr. Sankar actually sat on the floor with him, asked him to point to the exact spot, and listened to him describe it in his own kid-words. He didn't rush us at all, even though the clinic was busy. He figured out it was a food sensitivity we never would have guessed. My son is back to his happy, energetic self, and as a parent, that's everything.
Had my gallbladder out last month. Honestly, I was terrified of the pain afterwards—heard some horror stories. Dr. Sankar's team had a clear plan from the start. They explained exactly what meds I'd get and when, and what the pain should feel like (weird, but it helped). The first couple days were rough, no lie, but I always felt in control. Follow-up was good too; he called himself to check in. I'm back at work now and feeling almost normal.
Saw Dr. Sankar for a persistent cough. Quick, clear, no nonsense. He listened, checked me over, prescribed something that actually worked. Parking at Apollo is always a hassle, but the appointment itself was efficient. Would see him again.
I've had this nagging fatigue for months. Felt like I was running on empty. My first appointment with Dr. Sankar, I just word-vomited all my symptoms—sleep issues, low mood, the works. He didn't dismiss it as stress. He mapped out a step-by-step approach: 'Let's rule out the physical stuff first, then we'll see.' Ordered specific blood tests I'd never had before. It took a few weeks and a couple of follow-ups (waiting room was packed once, had to reschedule), but we found a thyroid issue. Starting treatment now and already feel a glimmer of my old energy. He stuck with the process when I was ready to give up.
I'd been to three other doctors about this constant fatigue and weird joint pain. Everyone said it was stress. Dr. Shetty at Apollo was the first one who actually sat and listened, really listened, to the whole timeline. He ordered a specific blood panel the others hadn't. Turns out it was something pretty rare. He explained it to me and my wife in plain English, no jargon, and laid out a clear plan. I finally feel like I'm getting somewhere.
Had to get a colonoscopy, which honestly scared me more than it should have. The whole thing at Apollo Greams Road was surprisingly straightforward. Yes, the prep was no fun, but on the day, Dr. Shetty's team kept things moving. He popped in before to say hello, and the procedure itself was over before I knew it. Got the all-clear later that afternoon. It was just a routine check, but they made it feel simple and professional.
Look, the parking at that Apollo branch is always a bit of a hunt. But once you're inside, it's different. I was there with my dad for his check-up. The front desk people remembered him from last time, and a nurse saw he was struggling to walk from the waiting area and brought a wheelchair over without us even asking. Dr. Shetty's clinic area felt calm, not chaotic. It's the little things that take the edge off a hospital visit.
I'm a pretty anxious person, especially about health stuff. My first meeting with Dr. Shetty, my hands were literally shaking. He didn't rush me. He asked about my work, my family, just normal chat, before even getting into my symptoms. He has this way of talking that's direct but kind, you know? He never makes you feel silly for asking a question. I left feeling heard, not just processed.
I'd been to a couple of doctors about this nagging pain and fatigue, and everyone just said it was stress. Dr. Rajasekar was different. He actually listened, asked questions I hadn't been asked before, and ordered some specific tests others hadn't thought of. Turns out it was something pretty rare. He explained it all to me and my wife in a way we could actually understand, without talking down to us. It was a relief just to have a real answer.
Had to get a colonoscopy, which honestly freaked me out. The prep was the worst part, obviously. But the day of, at Apollo, everything was straightforward. Dr. Rajasekar's team was calm and professional. The procedure itself was quick, I didn't feel a thing. He came by after, showed me the pictures, said everything looked clear. It was one of those things you dread, but it ended up being a total non-event.
The place was busy, I had to circle for parking. But once I got inside, the front desk people were really patient. The nurse who took my vitals had a nice way about her, cracked a small joke that settled my nerves. The whole floor at Apollo felt clean and organized, which matters when you're not feeling great. It made the whole visit less stressful.
What I liked most about Dr. Rajasekar is that he doesn't rush you. He sits down, looks at you, and lets you finish your sentences. I was nervous about some medication side effects, and he didn't just dismiss it. He talked through each one, why it might happen, and what we could do. He has a quiet, steady way about him that makes you feel like you're in good hands.
I was a complete wreck before my appointment. First time seeing a doctor here, and honestly, I was scared of what he might find. The waiting area was packed and my hands were clammy. But Dr. Venkata Karthikeyan was so calm. He didn't rush me, explained everything in simple words, and actually listened when I rambled about my worries. I left feeling like a weight was off my shoulders. He just made it feel manageable.
Had a persistent stomach issue. Went to Apollo Greams Road. Saw Dr. Venkata Karthikeyan C. He was direct, asked clear questions, ordered the right tests. Explained the diagnosis and treatment plan without any fluff. Follow-up was efficient. Problem resolved. Good experience.
I'm not one to speak up much, but I felt I should say something. Dr. Karthikeyan has such a gentle way about him. I was quite anxious, but he spoke softly and made sure I understood each step. Even when the reception was a bit busy, he gave me his full attention. It felt like he genuinely cared. A very kind doctor.
Wow, what a difference! I'd been putting off seeing someone about this nagging cough for weeks. Finally saw Dr. Venkata Karthikeyan and I'm so glad I did! He was fantastic—friendly, really knew his stuff, and got me sorted right out. The medicine he prescribed worked like a charm. I'm feeling like myself again! Couldn't be happier with the care.
