Dr. A Santosh Sriram

I'd been to a couple of doctors for this nagging fatigue and weird joint pain, and everyone just said it was stress. Dr. Sriram was different. He actually listened, asked about things no one else did, and ordered some specific tests. Turns out it was something pretty rare, not stress at all. He explained it in a way that finally made sense, without making me feel stupid for being worried. Apollo's system for the tests was quick, which helped.

Had to get a minor cyst removed. Honestly, I was nervous at first, but Dr. Sriram made it feel like no big deal. The whole thing was over in what felt like ten minutes in his procedure room at Apollo. He talked me through each step, and the nurse was really calming. The parking garage was packed that day, but once I was inside, everything from check-in to discharge was straightforward. No drama, just done.

What stood out for me was the whole team. I had to bring my elderly mother for a check-up, and the front desk people were patient with her questions. The nurse who took her vitals was kind and didn't rush her. Even the person who cleaned the waiting area gave us a smile. Dr. Sriram was great, of course, but it felt like everyone there was on the same page about helping people feel a bit more at ease in a hospital.

Look, doctors can be intimidating. Dr. Sriram isn't. He sits down, looks you in the eye, and just has a calm way about him. When he told me I needed to start medication for my blood pressure, he didn't just hand me a prescription. He asked about my daily routine and helped me figure out the easiest way to remember it. It felt like a conversation, not a lecture. That kind of approach makes you want to actually follow the advice.
