Patient Experience
I've been seeing Dr. Deep Dutta for my diabetes and blood pressure for almost eight years now, since before he moved to Apollo. That's the thing—he remembers. He knows my history without having to dig through the file every time. I've had other doctors who change my meds on a whim, but Dr. Dutta explains the 'why' behind every small adjustment. It's that consistency that lets me actually manage my health, not just react to it. Sure, the Apollo waiting area gets busy, but knowing I have a doctor who gets the long game makes it worth it.
At my age, a hospital visit can be quite daunting. I was referred to Dr. Dutta for a persistent stomach issue, and I must say, he put me at ease immediately. He speaks clearly and never made me feel rushed, even when I asked the same question twice. His manner is very calm and respectful. The treatment he suggested was straightforward and, I am happy to report, very effective. I felt properly looked after.
Had a bad fever that wouldn't quit. Went to Apollo, saw Dr. Deep Dutta. He cut through the noise, ordered the right tests, and got me on a treatment that worked fast. No fluff, just fixed the problem. Good doctor.
So my husband was complaining of chest pains, and we panicked, obviously. Rushed to Apollo Guwahati and got Dr. Dutta. I was a mess, thinking the worst. He was really steady. He listened, did an exam, and said, 'Let's not assume it's the heart first. The pain is here, right?' and pointed to a specific spot. He explained it was likely a severe muscular spasm from a new gym routine, which my husband had totally forgotten to mention! He still ran an ECG to be safe, which was clear. The way he sorted through the panic with simple questions and didn't jump to the scariest conclusion first—that's what stuck with me. We left relieved, with instructions for a heating pad, not a heart surgeon.
