Patient Experience
I've been seeing Dr. Ravi for my arthritis for a few years now. The waiting room was busy yesterday, but he never rushes. He always asks about my garden and takes the time to explain things in a way I can understand. I leave feeling looked after.
I was so scared going in for my stomach issues, first time seeing a specialist. Dr. Ravi was just... calm. He listened to all my worries without making me feel silly, drew a little diagram to show what was probably happening. I walked out feeling like I could actually handle it.
Had a weird pain in my side. Saw Dr. Ravi at Apollo Teynampet. He figured it out fast, gave me a clear plan. No fuss, got the job done. Would go back.
My experience started rough—got lost in the hospital, was late, and flustered. By the time I saw Dr. Ravi, I was apologizing all over the place. He just smiled and said, 'The important thing is you're here now.' He spent the next twenty minutes not just on my cough, but asking about my work stress and sleep habits. He connected dots I didn't even mention. It wasn't a quick prescription; it felt like a proper consultation. The parking was a nightmare, but honestly, seeing him was worth the hassle.
I was so scared going in for my first ever check-up. Dr. Appaji just had this calm way about him that made me feel okay. He explained everything without making me feel silly for asking questions. I left feeling like I could actually handle this whole 'being an adult' thing.
At my age, one does not relish visits to the hospital. However, my consultation with Dr. Appaji Krishnan was a most agreeable experience. He listened with great patience to my various concerns and did not rush me at all. The entire process was conducted with a quiet courtesy that put me at ease. I felt properly looked after.
Had a persistent stomach issue. Went to see Dr. Appaji at Apollo Teynampet. He figured it out fast, gave me a clear plan. No fuss, got the job done. Would recommend.
So, I'd been putting off this general check-up for ages. The parking at Apollo was a nightmare that morning, which put me in a bad mood. By the time I got to Dr. Appaji's room, I was just grumpy. But he was different. He didn't just look at my chart; he asked about my work stress, my sleep, the whole picture. He connected some dots I didn't even know were there. The way he laid out a simple plan made it feel manageable, not overwhelming. It was the first time a doctor's visit felt like a real conversation, not just a transaction.
I'd been to a few doctors about this nagging fatigue and low fever. Everyone said it was stress. Dr. Srinivas actually listened, asked a bunch of questions I hadn't been asked before, and ordered some specific tests. Turns out it was something pretty uncommon. He explained it all clearly, without talking down to me, and we had a plan that day. I feel like he actually figured it out when others just shrugged.
Had to get a minor cyst removed. Honestly, I was nervous about any kind of procedure. Dr. Srinivas and his team at Apollo Teynampet made it so straightforward. The whole thing was over before I knew it. The stitches were neat, recovery was exactly as he said it would be—no surprises. It was just a simple thing, but it's a relief when things go exactly as promised.
The parking at the hospital was a bit of a hassle that day, I won't lie. But once I got inside, the place felt calm. The front desk people pointed me in the right direction, and the nurse in Dr. Srinivas's section was really kind. She could see I was anxious and just chatted with me about normal stuff while I waited. It made a big difference.
What stuck with me was how Dr. Rajagopala talks to you. He doesn't rush. He sat down, looked at me, not his computer, and asked 'So, what's bothering you?' in a way that felt genuine. When he explained my treatment options, he drew a little diagram on a notepad. It felt like he was talking to a person, not just processing a patient.
I'd been to a couple of doctors for this nagging pain and fatigue, and everyone had a different theory. Honestly, I was starting to think it was all in my head. Dr. Srichandran at Apollo Teynampet was different. He actually sat and listened, asked questions about things no one else had, and ordered a specific test the others hadn't. Turns out it was a tricky thyroid issue masquerading as something else. He explained it in a way that finally made sense. I'm on the right treatment now and feel like myself again.
Had to get a minor cyst removed. I was nervous at first, but the whole thing was so straightforward. Dr. Srichandran walked me through exactly what would happen, the procedure itself was quick, and the follow-up was simple. The parking at the hospital was a bit of a hassle that day, but the actual medical part? Couldn't have asked for a smoother experience. No drama, just good, clear care.
What stood out to me during my stay at Apollo Teynampet was how the whole team worked together. From the front desk people who helped sort my paperwork to the nurses on the floor, everyone was kind and on the ball. It made a stressful time much easier. Dr. Srichandran clearly trusts his staff, and that coordination shows. The place was clean and calm, which helped a lot.
My teenage son needed to see a doctor and was being a typical, grumpy teen about it. Dr. Srichandran had this great way of talking directly to him, not just to me. He was patient, cracked a small joke to break the ice, and didn't talk down to him. My son actually relaxed and answered his questions honestly. That kind of bedside manner, especially with a kid who's scared but won't admit it, is really something special.
I'd been to a couple of doctors about this constant fatigue and stomach pain, and everyone just said it was stress. Dr. Vivekan actually listened. He asked a ton 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 all on a notepad, drawing little diagrams. I finally feel like I have answers, not just a prescription.
Had to get a small cyst removed from my back. Honestly, I was pretty nervous about the whole thing. The procedure itself at Apollo was quicker than I expected. Dr. Manoharan talked me through each step as he was doing it, which really helped. It was just a routine thing for him, I guess, but he didn't make me feel like it was unimportant. The whole visit was surprisingly straightforward.
The hospital itself was busy—parking was a bit of a hunt. But once I got inside, the front desk people were really patient with me while I fumbled for my papers. The nurse who took my vitals, Anjali I think, had a great way of calming me down with just normal chat. Even the cleaner in the hallway gave me a smile. It's those small things that make a stressful day a bit easier.
What stuck with me about Dr. Vivekan was how he remembers you're a person, not just a chart. At my follow-up, he asked about my daughter's exams before diving into my bloodwork results. He sits down to talk, doesn't hover by the door. He's got a quiet, direct way of explaining things that cuts through the medical jargon. You leave feeling heard, which is rare.
