Patient Experience
Our 8-year-old son had been complaining of stomach aches for weeks. We were really worried, and honestly, a bit scared. Dr. Asif Mehraj at Apollo was so calm with him. He didn't just talk to us; he got down on my son's level, asked him about his soccer games, and made him laugh. He explained everything in a way we could all understand, even drew a little picture. The tests he ordered were necessary, and he called us himself with the results to say it was just a food sensitivity. He treated our child like a person, not just a patient. We slept properly for the first time in a month.
Severe abdominal pain. Went to Apollo Health City. Saw Dr. Asif Mehraj. He listened, asked clear questions, ordered a scan. Diagnosis was quick: appendicitis. He scheduled surgery for that evening. Procedure was smooth. Explained post-op care clearly. No fluff. Follow-up was efficient. Problem solved.
I was quite nervous about my persistent fatigue. The hospital is big and can feel overwhelming. Dr. Mehraj, however, has such a gentle way about him. He never rushed me, and he listened to all my little concerns—things I thought were silly to mention. He worked through the possibilities so carefully. It turned out to be a simple vitamin deficiency, but he never made me feel like I was wasting his time. His kindness made a difficult experience much easier to bear.
Wow, what a difference! I'd been dealing with this nagging knee pain for ages, and my old doctor just kept saying 'rest.' Dr. Mehraj actually looked at the whole picture. He asked about my job, my exercise routine, everything! He suggested a different approach, some specific physio exercises, and a minor dietary change. I was skeptical, but I tried it. Three weeks later, the pain is almost gone! I can finally get back to my weekend hikes. So glad I went to see him!
