Patient Experience
I'd been to a couple of doctors with this weird mix of fatigue and joint pain, and everyone just said it was stress. Dr. Saikia was different. He actually listened to everything, asked questions about stuff I didn't think was related, and ordered a specific test no one else had. Turns out it was something pretty rare. He explained it all to me and my wife in his office, drew a little diagram on a notepad. He didn't rush us, even though I know he was busy. That kind of attention made a scary situation feel manageable.
Had to get a minor cyst removed. Honestly, I was more nervous about the hospital experience than the procedure itself. But with Dr. Saikia, it was all very straightforward. He told me exactly what would happen, step by step, and the whole thing was over in what felt like minutes. The follow-up was just a quick check. Sometimes you just want something simple to *stay* simple, and that's exactly how it went.
The parking situation at Apollo was a bit of a hassle that morning, I won't lie. But once I got inside, it made a difference. The front desk people found my file quickly, and the nurse who took my vitals was really calming—she could tell I was anxious. The whole place just felt organized and clean, which helped me settle down before seeing the doctor. It felt like the staff and the environment were all working together.
What I remember most is how Dr. Saikia talked to my elderly father. Dad gets confused easily and doesn't always follow medical talk. Dr. Saikia sat right next to him, spoke slowly and clearly, and checked in with him constantly to see if he understood. He didn't just look at me, the son, for answers. He treated my dad with a real, quiet respect. That meant more to our family than any medicine.
