Doctor: Dr. Narayanan N K Hospital: Apollo Hospitals Greams Road

I'd been to a couple of doctors about this constant fatigue and stomach pain, and everyone just said it was stress. Dr. Narayanan was different. He actually sat and listened to every little detail, even the ones I thought were silly. He ordered some specific tests others hadn't, and it turned out to be a tricky vitamin deficiency combined with a mild infection. Not life-threatening, but it explained everything. He didn't make me feel rushed or foolish for being worried.

Doctor: Dr. Narayanan N K Hospital: Apollo Hospitals Greams Road

Had to get a small cyst removed from my back. Honestly, I was more nervous about the hospital process than the actual procedure. Dr. Narayanan's team at Apollo Greams Road made it so straightforward. The nurse explained each step, the room was really clean, and the doctor himself was in and out in what felt like 15 minutes. Minimal fuss, minimal pain afterwards. It was exactly what you hope for with something routine.

Doctor: Dr. Narayanan N K Hospital: Apollo Hospitals Greams Road

The place was busy, I won't lie—parking took a while. But once I got inside, the front desk staff were really patient helping me find my way. The whole floor felt calm, not chaotic. It made waiting for my appointment with Dr. Narayanan less stressful. You could tell the team there works well together, and that matters when you're not feeling your best.

Doctor: Dr. Narayanan N K Hospital: Apollo Hospitals Greams Road

What stuck with me was how Dr. Narayanan talks to you. He doesn't just talk at you. When explaining my blood pressure readings, he pulled his chair around, showed me the chart on his screen, and asked if I understood. He checked in on how the new medication was sitting with me, not just if it was working. It felt like a conversation with someone who actually cares, not just a clinical consultation.

Doctor: Dr. Rajarajan Venkatesan Hospital: Apollo Hospitals Greams Road

Had a persistent stomach issue for months. Dr. Venkatesan saw me at Apollo Greams, diagnosed it quickly, and gave me a treatment plan that actually worked. No fuss, just clear steps. Got me back to work.

Doctor: Dr. Rajarajan Venkatesan Hospital: Apollo Hospitals Greams Road

I was so scared going in for my first real check-up. The waiting room was huge and I felt a bit lost. But Dr. Venkatesan was so calm and explained everything in a way I could understand. He didn't rush me, even when I asked the same question twice. Left feeling like a weight was off my shoulders.

Doctor: Dr. Rajarajan Venkatesan Hospital: Apollo Hospitals Greams Road

Look, I don't like doctors. But I needed someone to check this cough that wouldn't quit. Went to see this Dr. Venkatesan. He was straight with me, told me what it was and what it wasn't. Got the meds, followed his advice, and I'm fine now. Parking at Apollo is always a nightmare, though.

Doctor: Dr. Rajarajan Venkatesan Hospital: Apollo Hospitals Greams Road

It started with just feeling tired all the time. My wife finally pushed me to see someone. I chose Dr. Venkatesan based on a friend's suggestion. The appointment itself was straightforward—he listened more than he talked at first, asked really specific questions about my sleep and diet. He ordered a couple of blood tests (the lab at Apollo was efficient, I got results in two days). When I went back, he sat down with the printouts and connected dots I never would have seen, like how my coffee habit and some vitamin levels were linked to the fatigue. He laid out a simple plan: adjust a few things, retest in a month. It wasn't magic, but following his clear logic made me trust the process. I feel noticeably better now.

Doctor: Dr. Vilvapathy S Karthikeyan Hospital: Apollo Hospitals Greams Road

My father was admitted with severe abdominal pain. We were all scared. Dr. Karthikeyan came to see him late in the evening, even after his rounds. He explained everything to us in Tamil, which put my mother at ease. He didn't rush, drew a simple diagram on a notepad to show what might be happening. The parking here is always a hassle, but after talking to him, the stress just melted. He checked on dad twice the next day. We're home now, and dad is doing much better.

Doctor: Dr. Vilvapathy S Karthikeyan Hospital: Apollo Hospitals Greams Road

Took my wife in. She'd been feeling run down for weeks. Dr. Karthikeyan listened. Really listened. He asked questions other doctors hadn't. He was direct with his thoughts but kind about it. Said we needed some tests to rule things out, which was nerve-wracking, but he made the process clear. Got the results faster than we expected. Turned out to be something manageable. The relief we felt... he just has a calm way about him that cuts through the hospital noise.

Doctor: Dr. Vilvapathy S Karthikeyan Hospital: Apollo Hospitals Greams Road

My 10-year-old son had a high fever that wouldn't break. At Apollo, Dr. Karthikeyan was the one who saw him. He talked to my son directly, not just to me, which made the boy feel important and less frightened. He explained the treatment plan in plain language—no confusing medical jargon. We had to wait a bit for a bed, but once we were in, his team was on top of everything. Follow-up was smooth. So grateful we found him.

Doctor: Dr. Vilvapathy S Karthikeyan Hospital: Apollo Hospitals Greams Road

After my mom's fall, her regular doctor was away. Dr. Karthikeyan took over her case. I was worried about the handover, but he had clearly read her entire file. He called me himself after the first assessment to say she was stable and outline the next steps. He remembered small details, like her allergy to a specific medication. It felt like she was his only patient. The care was consistent and thoughtful from admission to discharge. We couldn't have asked for better.

Doctor: Dr. N Shivakumar Hospital: Apollo Hospitals Greams Road

I'd been to three other doctors for this nagging abdominal pain, and everyone said it was just stress. Dr. Shivakumar actually listened to the whole, long story. He ordered a specific scan the others hadn't, and it turned out to be a rare type of hernia. It wasn't a quick fix, but he explained it in a way that finally made sense. He's at Apollo on Greams Road, and honestly, his persistence is what made the difference.

Doctor: Dr. N Shivakumar Hospital: Apollo Hospitals Greams Road

Had to get a minor cyst removed. I was pretty nervous about the whole thing, but Dr. Shivakumar made it simple. He walked me through exactly what would happen, the actual procedure was over in what felt like minutes, and the follow-up was just a quick check. The whole experience was straightforward, no drama. Sometimes that's exactly what you need.

Doctor: Dr. N Shivakumar Hospital: Apollo Hospitals Greams Road

The parking at Apollo was a nightmare that day, I was running late and flustered. But from the front desk to the nurses, everyone was calm and got me sorted. The clinic area itself felt clean and quiet, which helped me settle down. When Dr. Shivakumar came in, he’d clearly been briefed and just picked up from there. The team around him really makes things flow.

Doctor: Dr. N Shivakumar Hospital: Apollo Hospitals Greams Road

Look, I'm not great with doctors. I get quiet. Dr. Shivakumar has this very calm, no-rush way about him. He sat down, asked a couple of easy questions, and just waited for me to find my words. He didn't look at the clock once. He felt more like a knowledgeable friend explaining things than someone just giving orders. That meant a lot to me.

Doctor: Dr. Mohamed Zehran Saipillai Hospital: Apollo Hospitals Greams Road

My mother was admitted to Apollo Greams Road with a bad fever and confusion. Dr. Saipillai was the one who actually sat us down in the family room and explained everything in plain Tamil. He didn't just talk at us; he listened to our worries, drew little diagrams, and called my brother overseas to update him directly. The waiting was hard, but knowing exactly what was happening and why made all the difference. We felt like we were part of her care, not just bystanders.

Doctor: Dr. Mohamed Zehran Saipillai Hospital: Apollo Hospitals Greams Road

Had a persistent stomach issue for months. Saw Dr. Saipillai at Apollo Greams Road. He got straight to the point, ordered the right tests quickly, and had a clear treatment plan by the next visit. Fixed the problem without endless appointments. Exactly what I needed.

Doctor: Dr. Mohamed Zehran Saipillai Hospital: Apollo Hospitals Greams Road

Look, I was skeptical. Just another general physician, right? But my regular doc was out. Went in for what I thought was a bad flu. Dr. Saipillai actually poked around, asked weird questions about my travel two months back, and figured out it was a mild dengue thing. Gave me meds, told me what to watch for. No fluff. He was right. Felt better in a few days. Guy knows his stuff.

Doctor: Dr. Mohamed Zehran Saipillai Hospital: Apollo Hospitals Greams Road

It started with just feeling tired all the time. I went to Apollo, got Dr. Saipillai. The clinic was running late that day, which was annoying, but when I got in, he didn't rush. He went through my history like a detective—asked about my sleep, my diet, even my work stress. He remembered a thyroid issue my sister had, which I'd mentioned once. Ordered a specific blood panel others had missed. Turns out, that was it. Started treatment, and the fog lifted. It wasn't a miracle cure; it was someone paying proper attention and connecting dots everyone else had ignored.
