Dr. Padmaja Lokireddy

My 8-year-old son had been having these awful stomach pains for weeks. We saw a couple of doctors who just shrugged. Dr. Padmaja was different. She actually got down on his level, talked to HIM, not just me. She figured out it was a food intolerance that everyone else missed. The waiting room at Apollo was packed that day, but she never rushed us. My kid isn't scared of doctors anymore, and that's because of her.

Had my gallbladder out at Apollo last month. Honestly, I was terrified of the pain after. Dr. Lokireddy checked on me twice the day after surgery, not just once. She really listened when I said the meds made me feel sick and adjusted everything. The recovery was tough, but having a doctor who actually managed the pain without just throwing pills at me made all the difference. I'm back to walking my dog now.

Saw Dr. Padmaja for a persistent cough. She's direct, no nonsense, which I appreciate. Told me straight what it was (turned out to be a mild allergy), gave me a clear plan, and that was that. Parking at the hospital is always a nightmare, but the appointment itself was efficient and helpful.

It started with just feeling tired all the time. I'd drag myself through work, crash on the couch. My wife finally made me book an appointment. Dr. Lokireddy didn't just do the standard tests; she asked about my stress, my sleep, everything. We pieced it together—poor diet, no exercise, work stress. She didn't judge, just laid out small, manageable steps. It's been three months of following her advice, and I feel like a different person. She didn't give me a miracle cure; she gave me a map to get better, and I'm finally following it.
