Patient Experience
I'd been feeling off for months, tired and with weird aches. A couple of other doctors just gave me vitamins. Dr. Murali actually listened, asked a ton of questions I hadn't thought about, and ordered some specific tests. Turns out it was a thyroid issue that was messing with everything else. He explained it in a way that finally made sense. I'm on medication now and feel like myself again.
Had to get a small cyst removed from my back. Honestly, I was nervous at first, but Dr. Murali made it simple. The whole thing took maybe twenty minutes in his clinic room at Apollo. He talked me through each step, and it was over before I knew it. Hardly any pain afterward, and the follow-up was quick. It was just a straightforward thing, done well.
The Apollo Tondiarpet facility is nice and clean, I'll give it that. Parking was a bit of a hunt, but once inside, the front desk people were really kind. They helped my elderly mother find a seat while I checked in. Even the nurse who took my vitals had a calming way about her. It made the whole visit less stressful.
What I remember most is how Dr. Murali talked to my scared ten-year-old about his stitches. He got down to his level, didn't use scary words, and even showed him the tools (turned off, of course). My kid stopped crying and was fascinated. That meant more to me than any medical jargon. He just gets how to talk to people.
I'd been to a couple of doctors for this nagging stomach pain and fatigue, and everyone said it was just stress. Dr. Rajaram was different. He actually sat and listened to every little thing, even the stuff I thought was silly. He ordered some specific tests others hadn't. Turns out it was a tricky gallbladder issue that wasn't showing up the usual way. He explained it all with a diagram on his notepad—no fancy jargon. I finally got the right surgery and feel like myself again.
Had to get a small cyst removed from my back. Honestly, I was nervous about any procedure, even a minor one. But Dr. Rajaram made it so straightforward. The whole thing at Apollo Tondiarpet was quick; in and out in a few hours. The injection pinched for a second, but that was it. He chatted about Chennai's weather while he worked, which took my mind off everything. It healed up perfectly, no fuss.
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 saw I was stressed and helped me sort it out calmly. The whole place felt clean and quiet, which helped me settle down. Even the nurse who took my blood pressure was really gentle and cracked a small joke. It made waiting to see the doctor much easier.
What I remember most is how Dr. Rajaram talks to you. He doesn't rush. When my mother was sick, he'd explain things to her directly, not just to me, and in a way she could understand. He has this calm way of sitting back and really hearing you out. You never feel like just another file on his desk. That kind of respect and patience is rare these days.
I'd been to three other doctors about this constant fatigue and stomach pain. They all said it was stress. Dr. Selvakumar actually listened, asked a lot of questions I hadn't been asked before, and ordered some specific tests. Turns out it was a tricky thyroid issue combined with a mild food intolerance. He explained it in a way that finally made sense. I'm on a simple treatment plan now and feel like myself again.
Needed a basic mole removal on my back. I was nervous, I'll admit, but the whole thing was over in maybe twenty minutes. Dr. Selvakumar talked me through each step, the local anesthetic stung for a second, and that was the worst of it. The stitches were neat, healing was straightforward, and the follow-up was quick. Sometimes simple things are just done well, no drama.
The Apollo waiting area was busy, as you'd expect, but very clean. What stood out was the nurse at the front desk. I was a bit flustered because parking was full and I was late. She was so calm, got me sorted quickly, and even remembered my name when I left. It's those small things that make a stressful visit feel more manageable. The doctor was great, but the staff really set the tone.
My 10-year-old was terrified of doctors. Dr. Selvakumar didn't just talk to me; he crouched down to my son's level, asked him about his school and his favorite cricket player before even looking at his throat. He let my boy hold the tongue depressor. There was no pressure, just a calm, kind conversation. My son left saying doctors aren't so bad. That meant more to me than any medicine.
Had my gallbladder out last month. The first few days were rough, I won't lie. But Dr. Jothikumar's team had a clear plan for the pain. They didn't just throw pills at me; they explained what to expect and when to call. It made the whole recovery feel less scary. I'm moving around much better now.
Visited for persistent abdominal pain. Dr. Jothikumar was direct. He listened, asked pointed questions, and ordered the right scans. Diagnosis was quick: a manageable ulcer. He gave me a treatment plan and told me to follow up in two weeks. No fluff, just clear steps. Appreciated that.
I was quite nervous about my procedure. Dr. Jothikumar has a very calm way about him. He took time to explain everything in a soft voice, which put my mind at ease. The staff at Apollo were kind, even if the waiting area was busy. I felt genuinely cared for, not just processed.
Finally got my hernia fixed! After putting it off for ages, I saw Dr. Jothikumar. The surgery went smoothly, and the relief is incredible. No more constant discomfort. The whole experience at Apollo Tondiarpet was efficient. I'm just so glad it's done and I can get back to my normal routine.
Had a persistent stomach issue for months. Booked a slot with Dr. Kannaiyan online, got in, he listened, ordered the right tests, and had a clear treatment plan by the end of the week. No fuss, just fixed it. Exactly what I needed.
My 8-year-old son had a high fever that wouldn't break, and we were really scared. Dr. Kannaiyan at Apollo was so calm with him. He explained everything to us in simple terms, never rushed us, and even showed my son the stethoscope to help him relax. The fever came down with the medicine he prescribed, and he followed up with a call the next day to check in. We felt like he truly cared.
Look, I don't like going to doctors. But I had this cough that was wrecking my sleep. Went to see Dr. Kannaiyan. He's straightforward, told me what it was (some bronchial thing), gave me meds. They worked. Parking at Apollo is always a pain, but the doc was good.
I'd been feeling run-down and dizzy for weeks. My usual doc was on leave, so I took a chance on Dr. Kannaiyan. The waiting area was packed, I was nervous seeing a new doctor. But he spent a solid 15 minutes just asking questions, really digging into my routine and diet. He figured out it was a combination of low iron and dehydration from my new workout regime—something I hadn't even connected. His advice was practical, not just a prescription. I followed his plan, and the difference in my energy levels now is night and day. It felt like he solved a puzzle everyone else had missed.
