Patient Experience
I was a total wreck before my appointment. First time seeing a specialist for this weird stomach thing, and my mind was racing with worst-case scenarios. Dr. Vigneshwar just had this calm way about him. He actually listened to all my jumbled-up worries, explained everything in simple terms, and didn't rush me at all. Left his office feeling like a weight was lifted, honestly. The hospital itself was busy (parking took forever), but he made the actual visit okay.
We brought my elderly father in, and we were all pretty scared. Dr. Ravisankar was fantastic with him, but what really stood out was how he kept us, the family, in the loop. After the check-up, he took the time to sit with my sister and me in the consultation room. He drew a little diagram on his notepad to show us what was going on, laid out the treatment plan clearly, and answered every single one of our frantic questions without making us feel silly. He treated us like partners in Dad's care, not just bystanders. That meant the world.
Saw Dr. Vigneshwar for a persistent cough. Quick, efficient, got to the point. Explained the likely cause and the meds clearly. Follow-up was smooth. Good experience.
Okay, so this started with me ignoring a dull ache in my side for way too long. By the time I went to Apollo OMR, I was really uncomfortable. The waiting area was packed, and I was mentally preparing for a dismissive, five-minute chat. Dr. Ravisankar surprised me. He asked a ton of questions, even about my stress levels at work, which seemed unrelated but apparently wasn't. He did a thorough physical exam himself, not just relying on the nurse's notes. The best part was his approach: he said, 'Let's rule out the serious stuff first so you can stop worrying, then we'll figure out the rest.' And that's exactly what he did. Ordered the right tests, called me with the results himself, and we had a plan. It felt like he was actually solving a puzzle with me.
I've been seeing Dr. Karthiga Devi for my blood pressure for over five years now. She remembers the little things, like asking about my daughter's exams, and never rushes me. I trust her completely because she's steady and explains things in a way that makes sense. When my meds needed adjusting last year, she took the time to walk me through all the options. That kind of consistency is hard to find.
I was so scared before my appointment. I hate hospitals. But Dr. Karthiga was just... calm. She actually listened to all my weird symptoms without making me feel silly. She said 'let's figure this out together' and I almost cried from relief. The clinic was busy and I waited a bit, but she made the actual visit worth it. I left feeling like I finally had a plan.
Good doctor. Straight to the point, no fluff. Fixed my stomach issue that had been dragging on. Parking at Apollo OMR is always a nightmare, fair warning.
My story with Dr. Karthiga Devi started on a really rough Tuesday. I'd been feeling off for weeks, tired and achy, and my usual clinic just shrugged. A friend recommended her, so I booked at Apollo OMR. The waiting area was packed, which made me more anxious. But when I got in, she had this quiet way of asking questions that got to the root of it—turned out to be a vitamin deficiency I never would have guessed. She drew a little diagram on the notepad to show me how the supplements would work. It wasn't just a prescription; it felt like she actually solved a puzzle with me.
I'd been to a couple of doctors for this nagging stomach pain and fatigue, everyone said it was just stress. Dr. Waseem Ahmed actually listened, asked a bunch of questions I hadn't been asked before. He pieced together things I thought were unrelated and ordered a specific test. Turned out to be something pretty rare with my gallbladder. He explained it in plain Tamil, drew a little diagram on his notepad. I was scared, but he laid out the plan so clearly, it didn't feel so overwhelming anymore.
Had to get a small cyst removed from my back. Honestly, I was more nervous about the hospital process than the cut itself. But with Dr. Ahmed, it was just... straightforward. The appointment was on time, he told me exactly what he was going to do, and it was over in maybe twenty minutes. The stitches were neat, healing was a breeze. Sometimes you just want something simple done well, without any drama, and that's what I got.
Look, the parking at Apollo OMR is always a bit of a hunt, I won't lie. But once I got inside, it made a difference. The front desk lady saw I was looking lost and pointed me the right way. The nurse who took my vitals was really kind, cracked a joke about the Chennai heat while checking my BP. The whole place felt calm and clean, which helped settle my nerves before seeing the doctor. It's the little things.
My son, he's eight, had a bad fever and was terrified of doctors. Dr. Ahmed didn't just talk to me; he got down to my boy's level. He showed him how his stethoscope worked, let him listen to his own heartbeat. Spoke to him so gently, called him 'captain'. By the end, my son was showing him his toy car. That patience, that way of making a scared kid feel brave—that's a special kind of skill. Means more than any medicine sometimes.
I'd been to a couple of doctors about this nagging fatigue and pain, and everyone just said it was stress. Dr. Edison Albert actually listened. He asked questions no one else had, ordered some specific tests, and figured out it was a tricky autoimmune thing. It wasn't a quick fix, but having a name for it and a clear plan made all the difference. He didn't give up when the easy answers weren't right.
Had to get a minor cyst removed. Honestly, I was nervous at first, but Dr. Edison Albert talked me through the whole thing in the clinic itself. The procedure itself was over in what felt like minutes. No fuss, no drama. I was in and out of Apollo that morning, and the recovery was exactly as he said it would be—simple and straightforward.
The hospital was busy, I won't lie, parking was a bit of a hunt. But once inside, the place felt calm. The front desk people pointed me in the right direction without making me feel like I was bothering them. The nurse who took my vitals was really kind; she could tell I was anxious and just chatted about normal stuff to distract me. It made the wait much easier.
What I remember most is how Dr. Edison Albert sat down during the consultation. He didn't stand by the door. He explained my mother's condition to us—my brother and me—without using scary medical jargon. When we asked the same question twice, he just explained it a different way, never made us feel silly. It felt like he was talking *with* us, not *at* us.
My visit to Dr. Jatin Soni was arranged by my son, as I have been having some persistent discomfort. I must admit, the hospital is quite large and I was a little overwhelmed at first. However, from the moment I met Dr. Soni, I felt at ease. He has a very calm way of speaking and explained everything about my condition in simple terms I could understand. He took his time and never made me feel rushed, which I appreciate very much. The treatment he suggested has helped me a great deal.
Had a stomach issue. Went to Apollo OMR. Saw Dr. Jatin Soni. He listened, asked clear questions, and ordered the right tests. Got a straightforward diagnosis and a treatment plan that worked. No fuss. Efficient and effective. Parking was a hassle, but the consultation was worth it.
I was quite anxious about my health problems, and speaking about them isn't easy for me. Dr. Soni was so kind. He listened quietly and with such patience. His explanations were gentle and clear, and he made sure I was comfortable with each step. The nurses were also very helpful. It felt like he genuinely cared, and that meant everything to me during a worrisome time.
Finally! After months of feeling run-down and getting nowhere, my friend recommended Dr. Soni. What a difference. He actually figured out what was wrong! He's got a great manner—friendly but really sharp. The whole process at Apollo was smooth, even if I did have to wait a bit in the lobby. I'm already feeling so much better. Really, really glad I went to see him.
