Dr. Chandrakant Tarke

I'd been to a couple of doctors for this nagging abdominal pain, and everyone said it was just stress. Dr. Tarke was different. He actually listened to the whole history, asked about things no one else did, and ordered a specific scan. Turns out it was a rare type of intestinal adhesion from an old surgery I'd almost forgotten about. He explained it with a simple diagram on his notepad. I felt heard for the first time, and he had a plan.

Needed my gallbladder out. Honestly, I was nervous at first, but Dr. Tarke made it sound so straightforward. The whole thing was exactly as he said: in and out of Apollo in two days. The surgery went fine, recovery was what you'd expect, and his check-up after was quick but thorough. No drama, just good, solid care. It's a relief when things just go right.

The place is huge—I got a bit lost finding the wing, and the parking was a mission. But once I got to Dr. Tarke's floor, it changed. The lady at the front desk saw I was flustered and walked me to the waiting area herself. The nurse who took my vitals was cracking a joke with the older gentleman before me. It didn't feel cold or clinical. That calm, friendly vibe from everyone made the actual consultation with the doctor much easier.

What I'll remember most is how he talked to my mother. She's elderly and was very scared about some blood pressure results. Dr. Tarke didn't just talk to me. He sat down, faced her directly, spoke slowly, and repeated things without sounding impatient. He asked her if she understood. He wasn't just treating a chart; he was calming a person. That meant the world to us.
