Patient Experience
I've been seeing Dr. Saikia for my blood pressure and general health for about eight years now, ever since he was at his old clinic. He's one of the few doctors who actually remembers your history without having to flip through the file for five minutes. The move to Apollo was a bit of a hassle with the parking, but he's the same steady, calm doctor. You don't get any dramatic promises, just solid, consistent care that makes you feel like you're in good hands for the long run.
My 7-year-old son had a high fever that just wouldn't break, and I was really scared. We got an appointment with Dr. Saikia, and the way he talked to my boy made all the difference—he got down to his level, asked about his school, and made him laugh before even checking his ears. He explained everything to me in simple terms, what the virus likely was and what to watch for, without making me feel stupid for worrying. The clinic was busy and we waited a bit, but he never rushed us. My son actually asked if we could go back to see 'the nice doctor' when he was better, which says it all.
Needed a general check-up. Dr. Saikia was good. Straight to the point, listened, gave clear advice. No fluff. Would go again.
I went to Apollo with what I thought was just a bad stomach bug that had hung around for weeks. Honestly, I was nervous they'd just send me for a bunch of expensive tests. Dr. Saikia sat and actually let me finish explaining all the weird little symptoms—the fatigue, the occasional dizziness I hadn't even thought was related. He asked specific questions about my diet and work stress. He said it sounded like it could be a few things, but we'd start with one simple blood test to rule out the most likely, which it did. His approach felt methodical, like solving a puzzle. In the end, it was a persistent bacterial thing, and the treatment he suggested worked. The whole experience felt thorough, not rushed, even in a big hospital setting.
