Dr. Pratap Chandra Rath

I'd been to a couple of doctors for this nagging abdominal pain, and everyone said it was just stress. Dr. Pratap Rath actually listened to the whole history, asked questions no one else had, and ordered a specific scan. Turns out it was a rare type of intestinal adhesion. The way he explained it, drawing a little diagram on his notepad, made a scary situation feel manageable. He got me scheduled for surgery at Apollo quickly, and I'm finally pain-free.

Had to get a small cyst removed from my back. Honestly, I was nervous about the local anesthesia more than anything. Dr. Rath's team at Apollo was great—they talked me through each step, and the doctor himself kept checking in during the procedure, making casual conversation to distract me. It was over before I knew it. The follow-up was straightforward, and the scar is healing really cleanly. Just a smooth, simple experience.

The parking at Apollo Health City was a nightmare that day, completely full, so I was already flustered when I got in. But the front desk staff helped me sort my pass, and the nurse in Dr. Rath's section was really kind. She could see I was anxious and offered me some water while I waited a bit past my slot. The whole place feels calm and clean, which helps. By the time I saw the doctor, I'd settled down.

What stood out with Dr. Rath was how he talked *with* me, not at me. I'm an older patient, and sometimes doctors rush. He sat down, asked about my life, not just my symptoms. When he suggested a new medication, he took the time to explain why, what to watch for, and even wrote down the name in big letters for me. He has a quiet, patient way about him that makes you feel like you're his only concern that day.
