Patient Experience
My 8-year-old son had a high fever that wouldn't break for three days. We were really scared. Dr. Venkata Sampath saw us at Apollo, even though the clinic was packed. He didn't just look at the chart; he got down on my son's level, talked to him about his favorite cartoons, and made him laugh during the exam. He explained the viral infection in a way we could understand and told us exactly what to watch for. It was the gentleness with my kid that I'll remember most. We left feeling like we could actually handle this.
My father was admitted with severe abdominal pain, and it was a confusing, scary time for our whole family. Dr. Venkata Sampath was the one who made sense of it all. After every test, he'd find us in the waiting area or call me directly to explain what they found and what the next step was, in simple terms. He never made us feel like we were bothering him with questions. He treated my dad with such respect and kept us all calm. Having a doctor who communicates clearly with the family makes all the difference when you're worried sick.
Had a weird persistent cough for weeks. Saw Dr. Venkata Sampath at Apollo Jubilee Hills. Parking was a nightmare, but the wait wasn't too bad. He was straight to the point, listened, ordered the right tests, figured it out. Got the meds I needed. Good experience, no fuss.
I went to see Dr. Venkata Sampath for what I thought was just bad heartburn. I was nervous, thinking it might be something serious. He spent a good 20 minutes just asking me questions—not just about the pain, but about my job stress, what I ate, even my sleep schedule. He connected dots I didn't see. He said, 'Let's not guess, let's check,' and scheduled a scope for the next week. The whole process at Apollo was smooth, and his follow-up was great. He called me himself with the results (just a manageable ulcer, thank goodness) and walked me through the treatment plan. Felt like he really saw the whole picture, not just the symptom.
