Dr. Ankit Patawari

My 8-year-old son had been complaining of stomach aches for weeks. We'd seen a couple of doctors and nothing seemed to stick. I was a wreck. Dr. Ankit Patawari at Apollo was different. He got down on my son's level, talked to him like a person, not just a patient. He explained everything to me in a way that finally made sense, didn't rush us, and laid out a clear plan. For the first time in a month, I felt like someone was really listening and my boy was in good hands. The relief was huge.

I hate going to the doctor. I put off this weird fatigue for months because I was so nervous. The whole way to Apollo Hospitals my hands were sweaty. But Dr. Patawari just had this calm way about him. He didn't make me feel silly for being worried, just asked simple questions and actually listened to my answers. By the time I left, I wasn't scared anymore. He just made the whole thing feel normal, which is exactly what I needed.

Had a stubborn sinus thing that wouldn't quit. Went to see Dr. Patawari. He was straight to the point, no fluff. Told me what it likely was, what he wanted to try first, and what to do if it didn't clear up. Appointment was efficient, got a prescription, and I was on my way. It worked. Good experience.

It started with just feeling off—tired, no appetite. I figured it was stress. My wife finally dragged me to Apollo. The parking was a nightmare, which put me in a worse mood. Dr. Patawari walked in, and I braced for a quick in-and-out. Instead, he sat, looked over my file, and said, 'So, tell me what 'off' feels like.' That opened the floodgates. We talked for twenty minutes about work, sleep, everything. He connected dots I didn't see, ordered a couple of specific blood tests I'd never had before. Turns out it was a simple vitamin deficiency. The fix was easy, but finding it took someone who wanted to hear the whole story, not just the symptoms.
