Patient Experience
Had a pretty major surgery with Dr. Das. The first couple days were rough, I won't lie. But his team had a clear plan for the pain that actually worked. He checked on me every morning, adjusted meds based on how I was feeling, not just a schedule. It made the whole recovery feel manageable, like we were getting somewhere each day.
As someone with zero time to spare, Dr. Das was perfect. He got straight to the point, explained my options clearly, and executed the treatment plan efficiently. No fluff, just solid results. My issue is resolved and I was back to work quickly.
Look, I was nervous. Never been in a cancer centre before. But Dr. Das is straight-up and calm. Explained what was going to happen, didn't sugarcoat it, but also didn't make it scary. The whole thing went smoothly. I'd see him again.
I walked into Apollo Proton feeling like my world had ended. The parking was a nightmare, which just added to the stress. Dr. Abhijit Das had this quiet way about him. He listened to my whole rambling story, looked at all my reports, and then just laid out a path forward. It wasn't magic, but it was a plan. He remembered small things I'd mentioned in earlier visits. There was one afternoon post-op when I was really down, and he sat for an extra few minutes just talking. It wasn't just about the medicine; he saw the person worried about the medicine. I'm on the other side of it now, and a lot of that is because of his care.
My 8-year-old son was admitted with a high fever that wouldn't break, and I was terrified. Dr. Egammai spent so much time with us, explaining everything in simple terms and even calming my son down by talking about his favorite cartoons. She checked on him personally three times that first night, and you could see she genuinely cared. The nurses were great too, but it was Dr. Egammai's quiet confidence and the way she looked me in the eye and said 'We'll figure this out' that got us through it. My boy is home and back to his noisy self, and I don't think we'd be here without her.
Had a pretty major abdominal surgery at Apollo Proton under Dr. Sethuraman. The first couple days after were rough, I won't lie. But her team's pain management plan was spot-on—they didn't just throw pills at me, they adjusted things based on how I was actually feeling. Dr. Egammai herself would come by early in the morning, ask specific questions about the pain, and tweak the meds. It made the recovery feel controlled, not scary. I'm walking the halls now, feeling stronger each day because the pain wasn't something I had to just 'tough out'.
Saw Dr. Egammai for a persistent stomach issue. Parking at the centre was a nightmare, but once I got in, she was great. No nonsense, listened to my symptoms, ordered the right tests, and gave me a clear plan. Fixed me up in a few weeks. Would recommend.
I'd been feeling run-down for months, just off. My local doctor kept saying it was stress. I finally went to Apollo Proton and got Dr. Sethuraman. She has this way of listening—really listening—while she looks at her notes. She asked about things I hadn't even thought were connected, like this old ankle injury and my sleep pattern. Ordered a specific blood panel others hadn't. Turns out, it was a vitamin deficiency and a minor thyroid thing. The treatment was simple, but getting the right answer was everything. She didn't dismiss me; she solved a puzzle. I've got my energy back now. She's the kind of doctor who pays attention to the small stuff.
My case was a real puzzle for a while. I'd been to a couple of doctors with these vague symptoms, and nothing was adding up. Dr. Sujith Kumar Mullapally at Apollo Proton was the first one who really sat with my history, asked questions I hadn't been asked before, and ordered a specific scan the others hadn't. It took a few weeks of digging, but he found the root cause. He explained it to me in plain terms, no sugarcoating, but also without making me panic. Finally having an answer, even a complex one, was a huge relief.
I needed a minor cyst removal, and honestly, I was more anxious about the hospital experience than the procedure itself. From check-in at Apollo Proton to discharge, everything just... worked. Dr. Mullapally was quick and efficient during the consultation, the scheduler found a slot that fit my work calendar, and the day-of team was calm and clear. The procedure itself felt routine for them, which put me at ease. I was in and out faster than I expected, with straightforward aftercare instructions. Sometimes, simple and smooth is exactly what you need.
Look, the parking at Apollo Proton was a bit of a hassle that morning—totally full. I arrived flustered. But from the security guard who directed me to the additional lot, to the front desk person who saw I was stressed and offered a glass of water while I checked in, the staff made a real difference. The whole centre has this quiet, clean feel that’s serious but not scary. Even the person who brought the tea after my consultation was kind. It sounds small, but when you're worried, those small things matter a lot.
What I'll remember most about Dr. Mullapally is how he talks to you. I was nervous at first, thinking he'd be in a rush. But he wasn't. He sat down, looked at me, not just my file, and actually listened. When he explained my treatment plan, he drew a simple diagram on his notepad. He asked if I had questions, and waited for me to think of them. He has a calm way about him that makes you feel like you're the only patient he has that day. That kind of attention is rare.
I was a complete wreck before my appointment. My hands were shaking in the waiting room. Dr. Gubbala saw how scared I was right away. He didn't rush me, just listened quietly while I stumbled over my words. He explained everything about my treatment plan in such a calm, simple way, drawing little diagrams on his notepad. I left feeling like I could actually breathe again, like I wasn't just a problem to be solved.
Had a concerning lump. Went to Apollo Proton. Dr. Gubbala ordered the necessary scans, reviewed them promptly, and gave me a clear diagnosis. He outlined the treatment options, including pros and cons for each. No sugar-coating, no unnecessary details. Surgery was scheduled efficiently. Follow-up was direct. Got the job done.
The hospital is very big and can feel a bit overwhelming. But Dr. Gubbala has such a gentle way about him. He always remembers small things about my family when I visit. During consultations, he speaks softly and makes sure I've understood every point, asking 'Is that clear?' without making me feel rushed. His kindness made a difficult time much easier to bear.
What a weight off my shoulders! After months of feeling off and getting nowhere, Dr. Gubbala actually figured it out. He has this great energy—you can tell he really loves what he does. He high-fived me when my last scan came back clear! The whole team at Apollo Proton was fantastic, but he's the one who steered the ship. So, so grateful we found him.
