Patient Experience
I've been seeing Dr. Phutane for my diabetes and blood pressure for about eight years now, since he was at his old clinic. When he moved to Apollo, I followed him. That says it all, really. He remembers my history without me having to repeat everything, and he explains adjustments to my medication in a way that makes sense. The new hospital is bigger so the wait can be a little longer, but having a doctor who knows you inside out is worth it.
Dr. Phutane did my gallbladder surgery last month. I was really scared about the pain afterwards, but he and his team had a clear plan for it. They checked on me regularly, adjusted my meds when needed, and actually listened when I said something felt off. The follow-up was good too—he didn't just discharge me and forget. Recovery's been smoother than I thought it would be.
Had a bad stomach bug that wouldn't quit. Went to see Dr. Phutane at Apollo DRDO. He was straight to the point, figured it out fast, and the meds he gave worked. No fuss. Parking there is a nightmare, though.
My whole experience started with this nagging tiredness I couldn't shake. I booked an appointment at Apollo, a bit nervous because big hospitals can feel impersonal. Dr. Phutane was different. He sat down, asked not just about the fatigue but about my sleep, work stress, everything. He ordered some tests I hadn't even thought of. Turns out, it was a vitamin deficiency and mild anemia. He laid out a simple treatment plan and diet changes. I'm about six weeks in now and finally starting to feel like myself again. It wasn't some dramatic illness, but he took my everyday feeling lousy seriously.
