Patient Experience
Had my gallbladder out last month. The surgery itself is a blur, but I remember Dr. Bharadwaj checking on me every day after. He was really clear about what pain to expect and what was a red flag. The nurses followed his instructions to the letter, which made the whole recovery less scary. Still sore, but getting better each week because of the plan he set up.
At my age, a hospital visit can be quite daunting. Dr. Pankaj Bharadwaj at Apollo made it much easier. He explained my condition and the treatment for my persistent cough in a way I could understand, without rushing me. He has a very calm manner. I felt listened to and properly cared for, which is what matters most.
Went in for a nasty stomach bug that wouldn't quit. Dr. Bharadwaj fixed me up. No nonsense, told me exactly what was wrong and what to do. Got the right meds, felt better in a couple days. Good doc.
I'd been putting off seeing someone about this pain in my side for weeks, thinking it would go away. Finally went to Apollo, a bit nervous. Dr. Bharadwaj didn't just write a prescription; he sat down, asked about my job (I drive a lot), and pieced together it might be muscular. He showed me on a chart what he thought was happening. We tried some specific stretches first instead of jumping to scans. It worked. I appreciated that he looked for a simple fix before anything complicated.
