Dr. Santanu Medhi

I'd been to a few doctors about this nagging stomach pain and fatigue, and everyone just said it was stress. Dr. Santanu Medhi was different. He actually listened, asked a ton of questions I hadn't been asked before, and ordered some specific tests. Turns out it was a tricky gallbladder issue that wasn't showing up on the usual scans. He explained it all with a diagram on his notepad—why the other tests missed it, what the options were. I felt like someone finally saw the whole picture.

Had to get a small cyst removed from my back. Honestly, I was nervous about the whole hospital thing, but Dr. Medhi made it simple. The appointment was straightforward, he told me exactly what he'd do and how long it would take, and that's how it went. In and out of Apollo in a couple of hours. The scar is barely noticeable now. It was just a routine thing, but he didn't treat it like it was unimportant.

The parking at Apollo was a nightmare that day, completely full, which put me in a bad mood before my check-up. But from the moment I walked in, the front desk people were really calm and got me sorted quickly. The nurse who took my vitals was lovely and chatty, which took the edge off. By the time I saw Dr. Medhi, I was a lot less frazzled. It's funny how a good team around the doctor makes the whole experience better.

What I remember most is how he talked to my mother. She's elderly and gets confused easily. He didn't just talk to me about her medication change; he knelt down so he was at her eye level, spoke slowly, and made sure she understood. He has this quiet, patient way about him. You don't feel rushed. He asked about her garden while checking her pulse. That kind of thing matters more than any medical jargon.
