Dr. Rituparna Baruah

I'd been to a couple of doctors about this constant fatigue and stomach pain, and everyone just said it was stress. Dr. Baruah was different. She actually listened, asked a ton of questions I hadn't been asked before, and ordered some specific tests. Turns out it was a tricky thyroid issue that was messing with everything else. She explained it all on a notepad, drew little diagrams. I finally feel like I'm getting somewhere.

Had to get a minor cyst removed. Honestly, I was more nervous about the hospital experience than the procedure itself. But Dr. Baruah's team at Apollo made it so straightforward. The whole thing was over in what felt like minutes. The stitches were neat, her instructions were clear, and the follow-up was just a quick check-in call. It was one of those medical things that just... happened, without any drama.

The parking at Apollo was a nightmare that day, completely full, which put me in a bad mood before my appointment. But from the moment I walked in, the front desk staff were really patient helping me reschedule my parking ticket. The nurse who took my vitals was chatting about the rain, which was a nice distraction. It felt calm, not like the chaotic medical places I'm used to. It made seeing the doctor much less stressful.

What stuck with me about Dr. Baruah was how she talks to you. I'm an older patient, and sometimes doctors rush. She didn't. She sat down, looked at me, not the computer, and asked how I was managing at home. When she explained my new medication, she made sure I understood by having me repeat it back in my own words. It felt like she was talking *with* me, not *at* me.
