Dr. Nikhil Suresh Ghadyalpatil

I'd been to three other doctors with this weird, dragging fatigue and a low fever that just wouldn't quit. Everyone said it was stress. Dr. Nikhil was the first one who actually sat and listened to my whole history, even the parts I thought were irrelevant. He ordered a specific set of tests the others hadn't. Turned out to be a rare bacterial thing. It wasn't a quick fix, but having a real answer and a clear treatment plan from him made all the difference. I finally feel like myself again.

Had to get a minor cyst removed. I was nervous, I'll admit, but Dr. Nikhil made it so straightforward. He explained exactly what he'd do, how long it would take, and what the scar might look like. The whole thing was over in what felt like ten minutes. The parking at Apollo was a nightmare that day, but the procedure itself? Couldn't have asked for smoother. Follow-up was a breeze, too.

The clinic was running a bit behind schedule, which I expected. But what stood out was the nurse at the front desk. She could see I was anxious and kept checking in, offering water, and giving me honest updates. The whole team at Apollo, from the person who took my blood to the one who scheduled my next visit, worked together really well. It made a long wait much easier to handle.

Look, I don't do well with doctors. I get all stiff and formal. But Dr. Nikhil has this calm, direct way of talking that just puts you at ease. He doesn't sugarcoat things, but he also doesn't talk down to you. When I had questions about my medication, he drew a little diagram on his notepad to show me how it worked. Felt like he was talking *with* me, not *at* me. That matters a lot.
