Patient Experience
My five-year-old, Rohan, had been running a fever for days and just wasn't himself. I was so scared. The hospital is huge and we got a bit lost finding the clinic, which didn't help my nerves. But Dr. Pingle was so calm with him. He didn't just talk to me; he got down on Rohan's level, asked him about his toy car, and made the whole check-up feel like a game. He explained everything to me in simple terms—what the fever was likely from, what to watch for, and when to come back. He gave me his direct number for follow-up. Seeing my boy smile again after a couple of days... that's because of the care we got.
Had a persistent stomach issue for weeks. Went to see Dr. Karthik Pingle at Apollo. The wait was longer than I expected, but once in the room, it was efficient. He listened, asked clear questions, ordered the right tests, and gave a straightforward diagnosis. Treatment plan was clear. Fixed the problem. No fuss, good result.
I was quite anxious about some ongoing health concerns, and speaking to doctors often makes me more nervous. Dr. Pingle has a very gentle way about him. He never rushed me, even when I know the schedule must be busy. He explained things quietly and made sure I understood each step before moving on. It felt like he was really listening, not just hearing me. The parking situation was a bit of a hassle that day, but the calmness in his consultation room made up for it. I left feeling heard and, for the first time, optimistic.
Wow, what a difference! I'd been dealing with fatigue and just feeling 'off' for months. Saw Dr. Pingle and he actually figured it out! It wasn't anything dramatic, just a vitamin deficiency, but no one had checked for it before. He was so thorough. I walked out of there with a simple plan and, honestly, a bit of hope. Started the supplements he suggested, and within a few weeks, my energy is back! I'm telling all my friends about him. Finally, someone who connected the dots!
