Dr. Gopinath Bandari (G. N. Bandari)

For months, I just felt off—tired, some aches, nothing I could really pin down. My local doctor ran a few tests and said it was probably stress. I saw Dr. G. N. Bandari for a second opinion. He listened to everything, even the stuff that sounded silly, and ordered a different set of tests. Turns out it was a thyroid issue that wasn't showing up on the standard panel. He explained it in a way that finally made sense. I'm on treatment now and starting to feel like myself again. He just didn't give up.

I needed a minor cyst removed. Honestly, I was more nervous about the hospital experience than the procedure itself. Dr. Bandari's team at Apollo Health City had it all sorted. The whole thing was straightforward—in and out the same day. The doctor himself checked in right before and after, cracked a small joke to lighten the mood, and that was that. It healed cleanly, no fuss. Sometimes simple is good.

The Apollo facility in Jubilee Hills is big, I'll admit I got a bit turned around finding the clinic. One of the front desk ladies saw me looking lost and walked me right to the door. The place was busy, but clean and calm. What stood out was how Dr. Bandari's nurse took time to go over my after-care sheet with me, making sure I understood it, even though she was clearly managing a full room. It felt like a team effort, not just a doctor's appointment.

Look, I don't really like doctors. I get quiet and just want to get out. Dr. Bandari has this calm way about him. He doesn't fill the silence with chatter, but he also doesn't make you feel rushed. He sat down, looked at me, not just my file, and asked, 'So, what's bothering you today?' in a normal voice. It sounds simple, but it made me actually tell him what was wrong. He remembers small things from past visits, too. That matters.
