Patient Experience
Our 8-year-old son had been complaining of stomach pains for weeks, and we were getting really worried. The first appointment with Dr. Vem was a bit of a wait—the clinic was packed—but the moment he walked in, he focused completely on our boy. He didn't just talk to us; he got down to my son's level, asked him to point to where it hurt, and explained everything in a way a kid could understand. He ordered some tests but was very clear about why each one was needed. The follow-up was just as careful. He found the issue, a simple dietary intolerance, and our son is back to his happy, active self. We felt heard and, more importantly, our child felt safe.
Had a persistent fever and fatigue that wouldn't go away. Went to Apollo Health City and saw Dr. Krishna Bhargava Vem. He listened, asked direct questions, and ordered the right blood work. Diagnosis was clear and quick—a bacterial infection. Prescribed a course of antibiotics. Followed up in a week, fever was gone. He's efficient, knows his stuff, and doesn't waste your time. Good doctor.
I was quite nervous about my check-up, as I'd been putting it off for a while. Dr. Vem has a very calm way about him. He took his time during the consultation, never made me feel rushed, and explained my blood pressure readings in a very gentle manner. The parking lot was full that day, which added to my stress, but his quiet reassurance made up for it. He suggested some small lifestyle adjustments instead of jumping to medication. It felt like a real conversation, not just a visit. I'm very grateful for his kind approach.
Wow, what a difference! I'd been dealing with this nagging cough and breathlessness for over a month, and it was starting to scare me. Dr. Vem at Apollo was fantastic. He actually looked relieved when the chest X-ray came back clear—'Good news!' he said with a smile—and then really dug into the details with me. Turns out it was a stubborn post-viral thing and some new allergies. His energy was contagious; he was so positive and sure we could fix it. The treatment plan worked like a charm. I'm breathing easy again and just so, so glad I went to see him!
