Patient Experience
When my dad was admitted, Dr. Sirish was the only one who took the time to explain things to us in the waiting area. He didn't just talk to the patient, he talked to the family. He drew a little diagram on a napkin to show us what was happening. The parking at Apollo DRDO is always a mess, but he made a scary situation feel manageable.
My 8-year-old had a high fever that wouldn't break, and we were panicking. Dr. Sirish Kumar was so calm with her. He got down to her level, asked about her school, and made her laugh before even checking her throat. He explained the medicine to me in a way that actually made sense—none of that confusing medical jargon. We left feeling like we knew exactly what to do.
Saw Dr. Sirish for a persistent cough. He's direct, no-nonsense. Listened, asked a couple of sharp questions, figured it out. Got the right meds. Done. What more do you want? Clinic was running a bit late, but he didn't rush once I was in the room.
I've had this nagging stomach issue for months. Saw two other doctors who just prescribed pills and sent me on my way. At Apollo DRDO, Dr. Sirish actually sat back in his chair and said, 'Tell me the whole story from the beginning.' He listened to everything—my diet, my work stress, the whole timeline. He connected dots the others missed. The treatment plan wasn't just a prescription; it was a real conversation about lifestyle changes. It's been a few weeks now, and I'm finally seeing improvement. He remembers details from my last visit, too.
