Patient Experience
I've been seeing Dr. Parimalam for nearly ten years, since she was at her old clinic. Followed her to Apollo. She remembers my history, my family's health issues, everything. That kind of consistency is rare. You don't have to re-explain your whole life at each visit. She's just a solid, reliable doctor who knows her stuff.
Look, I was sick of feeling run down. Friend recommended Dr. Parimalam. Went in, told her my symptoms. She was straight with me—said it was likely stress and a vitamin deficiency, not some big scary thing. Got some supplements and advice. Feeling better now. No nonsense, got the job done.
I was really nervous. Had this weird pain that came and went for months, and Google had me convinced it was serious. The waiting area at Apollo was busy, I had to wait a bit past my appointment time. But when Dr. Parimalam came in, she just had this calm way about her. She asked me to describe everything, even the stuff I thought was silly. She did a thorough check, explained each step, and basically said, 'This is what I think it is, and here's why it's not the other things you're worried about.' She drew a little diagram on a notepad. Left feeling relieved and with a simple plan. It wasn't just a check-up; she actually took the time to settle my mind.
I was so scared going in for my first check-up in years. Dr. Sudharsan just had this calm way of talking that made me feel silly for worrying. He explained everything without making me feel rushed, and by the end I was just relieved. The hospital's big but his office felt quiet.
Seen Dr. Sudharsan for about five years now for my blood pressure. What I appreciate is he remembers me, remembers my history, and doesn't just jump to change meds every visit. He listens to how I'm actually feeling day-to-day. That consistency is hard to find.
Good doctor. Straight to the point, tells you what's wrong and what to do. No fluff. Had a bad stomach thing, got it sorted.
My husband insisted I see someone after weeks of this nagging tiredness. I was convinced it was nothing. Dr. Sudharsan, at Apollo OMR, didn't dismiss it. He asked about my sleep, my diet, things I hadn't even connected. Ordered a couple of simple tests—turns out my iron was way down. The way he pieced it together from just a conversation was impressive. Started on supplements and I'm already feeling more like myself. He took the time to connect the dots.
I'd been to a couple of doctors about this constant fatigue and weird stomach pain, and everyone just said it was stress. Dr. Usha actually listened to everything, even the small stuff I thought was irrelevant. She ordered a specific test the others hadn't, and it turned out to be something pretty rare. She sat with my husband and me for a good twenty minutes, drawing diagrams to explain what was happening. Apollo OMR handled the follow-up, but it was her digging that found the real problem.
Had to get a minor cyst removed. Honestly, I was nervous at first—any procedure is a procedure, right? But Dr. Usha made it feel like no big deal. She explained each step in the clinic room itself, and the actual removal at the hospital day-care was over in what felt like minutes. The whole thing was so straightforward. I was back at my desk the next afternoon, just with a small bandage to remind me.
The parking at Apollo OMR was completely full when I arrived for my appointment, which stressed me out. But from the moment I walked in, the staff sorted it. The lady at reception saw I was flustered and guided me calmly. Even the person who took my blood pressure was really gentle and chatted about the weather. The place itself feels clean and quiet, which helps when you're waiting. It made seeing the doctor much easier.
What I remember most is how Dr. Usha talks to you. She doesn't rush. I had a million questions after my diagnosis, some of them probably silly. She never made me feel like I was taking up too much time. She has this calm way of explaining things that just cuts through the fear. You leave her room feeling like you have a plan, not just a prescription.
For months, I just felt off—tired, some weird pains, nothing that pointed to one thing. My old doctor kept saying it was stress. Dr. Sowmya actually listened. She didn't rush. She ordered a few different tests and connected dots others missed. Turns out it was something pretty rare. She explained it all to me and my family in a way that finally made sense. I'm on a treatment plan now and finally feel like I'm getting somewhere.
I needed a minor cyst removal. Honestly, I was nervous at first, but Dr. Sowmya made it simple. The whole thing at Apollo OMR was straightforward. She told me exactly what would happen, how long it would take, and what the scar might look like. The procedure itself was quick, and the recovery was exactly as she said it would be. No drama, just good, clear care.
The parking at Apollo OMR was a bit of a hassle that day, I won't lie. But once I got inside, it made a difference. The front desk people found my file quickly, and the nurse who took my vitals was really kind, cracking a small joke to settle my nerves. It felt calm and clean. When Dr. Sowmya came in, it felt like the whole team was on the same page, which just makes you feel more secure.
What I remember most is how Dr. Sowmya talked to me. I was scared about some test results. She sat down, looked me in the eye, and just spoke plainly. No sugar-coating, but also no cold, medical jargon. She asked if I understood, waited for my questions, and never made me feel like I was taking up her time. That kind of respect is rare.
My hands were shaking in the waiting room. First time seeing a doctor for this weird stomach pain that wouldn't go away. I was convinced it was something awful. Dr. Arun Kumar Ramanathan walked in, and before I could even get my words out, he just said, 'Let's start from the beginning. Tell me everything.' He listened without interrupting, nodded a lot, and explained things in a way that actually made sense. He didn't rush me. By the time I left, the fear was mostly gone. He just has a way of making you feel like you're in good hands, even when you're scared.
Had a persistent fever and fatigue for over a week. Went to Apollo OMR. Saw Dr. Arun Kumar Ramanathan. He asked clear questions, ordered the right tests, diagnosed a bacterial infection quickly. Treatment started immediately. Felt better in two days. No fluff, just efficient care. The hospital system was smooth. Would see him again for general health concerns.
I was quite worried about my father's sudden weight loss. We came to Apollo, and Dr. Ramanathan was so kind. He spoke softly, not just to us, but to my father directly, making sure he understood everything. He took his time, even though the clinic was busy. There was no pressure, just careful listening and clear advice. We left feeling heard and cared for, which is a rare thing these days. A very good doctor.
What a relief! I'd been to two other places for this nagging joint pain and got nowhere. Friend recommended Dr. Arun Kumar at Apollo OMR. Finally, someone who connected the dots! He actually looked at my old reports, asked about my daily routine, and figured it out. Started a new treatment plan last month and I'm already moving so much better. The guy knows his stuff! Yeah, the parking lot was packed, but honestly, worth it.
I was so nervous going in for my first check-up in years. The waiting area was packed and I almost left. Dr. Krishna Kumar just had this calm way about him that made me feel silly for worrying. He explained everything in simple terms, no medical jargon. Left feeling like a weight was off my shoulders.
