Patient Experience
I'd been to a couple of doctors with this nagging stomach pain and fatigue, and everyone said it was just stress. Dr. Ajay Narasimhan was the first one who actually paused, looked at my old reports again, and ordered a specific test no one else had. Turned out to be something pretty rare with my gallbladder. The parking at Apollo was a nightmare that day, but honestly, I didn't care after he sat down and drew me a diagram to explain it all. He just figured it out when others didn't.
Had to get a small cyst removed from my back. I was nervous at first, but Dr. Narasimhan made it feel like no big deal. The whole thing was over in what felt like twenty minutes. He talked to me the whole time, just casual stuff, which really took my mind off it. The incision healed so cleanly my wife says you can barely see it now. It was just a straightforward thing, but he made it easy.
Look, hospitals make me anxious. The bright lights, the smell. But the team at Apollo Greams Road, especially the nurses on Dr. Narasimhan's floor, were really kind. I had to wait a bit past my appointment time, which I usually hate, but the receptionist kept me updated. And the doctor's assistant, I think her name was Priya, was so patient with my million questions before the doctor even came in. It felt less like a factory and more like people actually working together.
What I remember most is how he talked to my mother. She's old, gets confused easily. He didn't rush her. He pulled his chair up close, spoke slowly, and checked twice that she understood the medication plan. He has this calm way about him that just makes you feel you're in good hands. It's not what he said about my dad's blood pressure, it's how he made my mom feel less scared.
Our 8-year-old son had been having these awful stomach pains for weeks. We were terrified, honestly. Dr. Ajay Padmanaban was the first doctor who actually sat on the edge of the bed and talked TO our son, not just to us. He explained everything in a way a kid could understand, even drew a little diagram. The wait for tests was long, but he called us himself with the results to put our minds at ease. He treated our child like a person, not just a patient, and that meant everything to us.
As a project manager with zero time, I needed a doctor who got straight to the point. Dr. Padmanaban did. I went in with fatigue and persistent headaches. He listened, ordered the right tests without any fluff, and diagnosed a severe vitamin D deficiency. Prescription was clear, follow-up was scheduled efficiently. I'm back to 100%. No nonsense, just effective care.
Look, I hate going to the doctor. But I had this cough that wouldn't quit. Saw Dr. Padmanaban at Apollo. He was straight with me—told me it was probably bronchitis, gave me meds, said come back if it got worse. It didn't. He was right. Parking at that hospital is always a nightmare, though.
I've been a bit of a mess health-wise since my 50s. Saw Dr. Ajay for a general check-up. What stood out was how he connected things. I mentioned some knee pain in passing, and he linked it to some blood work from years ago that I'd forgotten about. He spent a good 20 minutes just talking through my history, asking about my diet and stress levels. It wasn't a rushed 5-minute thing. He put together a plan that wasn't just a pill, but actual lifestyle tweaks. I was nervous at first, thinking he'd just shuffle me along, but he really listened. My energy's been better since following his advice.
I'd been to three doctors for this weird fatigue and joint pain. Everyone said it was stress. Dr. Aditya Shah actually listened, asked a ton of questions I hadn't been asked before, and ordered some specific tests. Turns out it was something pretty rare. He explained it all with a diagram on his notepad—didn't rush me at all. Finally having a name for it and a plan was a huge relief.
Had to get a minor cyst removed. Honestly, I was nervous at first, but Dr. Shah made it simple. The whole thing was over in what felt like ten minutes. He talked me through each step as he was doing it, which kept my mind off things. The recovery was exactly as he said it would be—no surprises. It was just a straightforward, easy experience.
The Apollo waiting area was busy, I had to wait a bit past my appointment time, but the front desk staff were really nice about it. The nurse who took my vitals was cheerful and put me at ease. The whole place just felt calm and efficient, which matters when you're not feeling great. Dr. Shah's clinic there runs like a well-oiled machine.
What stuck with me was how Dr. Shah talks to you. He doesn't just look at the chart; he looks at you. When I was worried about a medication side effect, he didn't dismiss it. He sat back, thought for a second, and we talked through three different options. He has this calm way of making you feel like you're figuring it out together.
I was really nervous going in for my first check-up in years. The whole hospital felt a bit overwhelming, and I almost turned around in the lobby. Dr. Anand Murugesan was so calm. He didn't rush me, just listened and explained everything in a way that actually made sense. He even drew a little diagram on the notepad. I left feeling like a weight was off my shoulders, not because anything was seriously wrong, but because I finally understood what was going on with me.
Had a persistent stomach issue. Went to Apollo Greams Road. Saw Dr. Anand Murugesan. He asked clear questions, ordered the right tests, and gave me a straightforward treatment plan. It worked. No fuss, no unnecessary drama. Efficient and effective. Parking was a hassle, but the appointment itself was worth it.
Sometimes you just need a doctor who listens. I'm not one to make a fuss, but I'd been feeling run down for a while. Dr. Murugesan was very kind. He took his time, and I never felt like I was being a bother. His advice was practical, and he checked in with me after the tests came back. It was a quiet, thoughtful kind of care that meant a lot.
What a relief! I'd been to two other doctors about this nagging pain and was getting nowhere. From the first minute, Dr. Anand was different. He actually looked at my old reports, asked a bunch of new questions, and figured it out. He has this great energy—you can tell he really likes solving the puzzle. Got me on a new treatment, and I'm already feeling so much better. Finally!
Had a persistent stomach issue for weeks. Booked an appointment with Dr. Ashok Kumar at Apollo. The clinic was busy, had to wait about 20 minutes past my slot. He was direct, asked clear questions, ordered the right tests. Diagnosis was straightforward, medication worked. No fuss, just effective. Exactly what I needed.
I was quite worried about some recurring fatigue. Dr. Kumar listened quietly, didn't rush. He explained things in a calm way that put me at ease. The hospital system is large, but he made the process feel simple. I'm feeling much better now, and I'm grateful for his kind manner.
After two other opinions, my mom's constant pain was still a mystery. Took her to see Dr. Ashok Kumar. He spent a long time reviewing her old files, asked questions everyone else missed. Figured it out! The treatment plan is working—she's like a new person. We are so, so relieved. Finally, an answer!
Needed a general check-up and some paperwork cleared for a job. Parking at Apollo was a hassle, as usual. Dr. Kumar's appointment was efficient. He was thorough, addressed my questions without any fluff, and got the certificates sorted quickly. Professional and no-nonsense.
