Patient Experience
I'd been to three other doctors for this constant fatigue and stomach pain. Everyone said it was stress. Dr. Pardha Saradhi actually listened, asked a bunch of questions I hadn't been asked before, and ordered some specific tests. Turns out it was a tricky vitamin deficiency and a mild food intolerance. It wasn't some dramatic thing, but he pieced it together when others didn't bother. I'm finally feeling like myself again.
Had to get a small cyst removed. Honestly, I was nervous at first, but Dr. Saradhi explained the whole thing in about a minute in a way that made sense. The procedure itself was quicker than the paperwork. A bit of a wait in the prep area, but the actual removal was smooth. He checked in the next day himself, which I wasn't expecting. No fuss, no drama, just done.
The parking at Apollo DRDO was a nightmare that day, completely full. I was frazzled by the time I got to the clinic. But the front desk lady was really calm and helped sort my papers, and the nurse who took my vitals had a great way of chatting that settled me down. The place itself feels clean and quiet, which helps. Dr. Saradhi was good, but honestly, his team made a tough start much easier.
What I remember most is how he talked to my elderly mother. She was confused and scared about her new medication. He didn't just talk to me; he sat down, looked right at her, and explained it in the simplest terms, even drew a little diagram on his notepad. He has this quiet, patient way about him. You don't feel rushed. That meant more to her than any medicine.
