Patient Experience
I've been seeing Dr. Phutane for my diabetes and blood pressure for about eight years now, since he was at his old clinic. When he moved to Apollo, I followed him. That says it all, really. He remembers my history without me having to repeat everything, and he explains adjustments to my medication in a way that makes sense. The new hospital is bigger so the wait can be a little longer, but having a doctor who knows you inside out is worth it.
Dr. Phutane did my gallbladder surgery last month. I was really scared about the pain afterwards, but he and his team had a clear plan for it. They checked on me regularly, adjusted my meds when needed, and actually listened when I said something felt off. The follow-up was good too—he didn't just discharge me and forget. Recovery's been smoother than I thought it would be.
Had a bad stomach bug that wouldn't quit. Went to see Dr. Phutane at Apollo DRDO. He was straight to the point, figured it out fast, and the meds he gave worked. No fuss. Parking there is a nightmare, though.
My whole experience started with this nagging tiredness I couldn't shake. I booked an appointment at Apollo, a bit nervous because big hospitals can feel impersonal. Dr. Phutane was different. He sat down, asked not just about the fatigue but about my sleep, work stress, everything. He ordered some tests I hadn't even thought of. Turns out, it was a vitamin deficiency and mild anemia. He laid out a simple treatment plan and diet changes. I'm about six weeks in now and finally starting to feel like myself again. It wasn't some dramatic illness, but he took my everyday feeling lousy seriously.
My 8-year-old son had a high fever that wouldn't break, and I was terrified. Dr. Tripti Sharma at Apollo DRDO was so calm with him, explained everything in simple terms to him (not just to me), and actually got him to smile. The wait was long, but she spent a good 20 minutes with us, never rushed. She called the next day to check on him. That kind of care for a scared kid means everything.
I've been seeing Dr. Sharma for my blood pressure and general health for about five years now. What I appreciate is that she remembers me, remembers my history without having to dig through the file for ten minutes. She's consistent—if she says she'll follow up, she does. I trust her because she's straight with me about what I need to do, but she listens when I have concerns. In a big hospital like Apollo, having a doctor who knows you makes all the difference.
Had a bad sinus infection. Went to Dr. Tripti Sharma. Got meds that actually worked. Quick, no fuss.
So, I'd been feeling run down for weeks—just tired, achy, not myself. Honestly, I put off going because I figured they'd just tell me it was stress. Parking at Apollo DRDO was a nightmare that day, which didn't help my mood. Dr. Sharma actually sat and listened to all my little symptoms, asked a bunch of questions I didn't expect. She didn't jump to conclusions; she ordered some specific tests. Turns out it was a vitamin deficiency. Started the supplements she suggested, and I feel like a different person now. She connected dots I didn't even know were there.
I'd been to three different doctors for months with this nagging abdominal pain and fatigue. Everyone had a different theory. Dr. Ramakanth Reddy actually sat with my old reports for a long time, asked me some really specific questions about my diet and family history that no one else had. He pieced it together as a rare vitamin deficiency linked to a mild digestive issue. It wasn't some dramatic disease, but finding it changed everything. He just saw what others missed.
Had to get a small cyst removed from my back. Honestly, I was more worried about the paperwork and the wait than the actual thing. But from the time I walked in, it was straightforward. Dr. Reddy explained the steps in simple terms, the procedure itself was over in what felt like minutes, and the stitches were so neat you can barely see the scar now. It was just... easy. No fuss, no drama.
The Apollo DRDO building is huge and can feel a bit overwhelming. I got lost trying to find the lab after my consultation. One of the nurses from Dr. Reddy's floor saw me looking confused, stopped what she was doing, and walked me all the way there. It was a small thing, but it made a bad day feel a lot less stressful. The whole team there seems to actually look out for people.
My son, who's 8, had a bad scare and needed to be checked. He was terrified, wouldn't talk. Dr. Reddy didn't push him. He just started talking to me about cricket, and slowly my boy got interested. Before I knew it, he was showing the doctor where it hurt. He has this calm way of just being with you, not just examining you. My son left asking if we could visit him again, which says it all really.
I'd been to three different doctors over six months for this persistent fatigue and stomach pain. Everyone said it was just stress or acidity. Dr. Anupama actually sat me down, listened to my whole history again, and ordered some different tests. Turned out to be a tricky thyroid issue combined with a mild food intolerance. She explained it all on a notepad, drawing little diagrams. It wasn't a quick fix, but for the first time, I felt like someone had actually put the puzzle pieces together.
I needed a basic health check for my new job. Honestly, I was just ticking a box. Dr. Anupama made it feel more than that. She didn't rush through the physical, asked about my lifestyle, and even gave me some simple tips for my desk posture. The whole thing, from the blood draw to getting the certificate, was straightforward. No fuss, no drama. Sometimes simple and efficient is exactly what you need.
The Apollo DRDO facility is huge, and I got a bit lost finding the clinic. One of the nurses saw me looking confused and walked me right to the door. The waiting area was calm, and even though I had to wait a bit, they kept me updated. The whole team, from the front desk to the person who took my vitals, worked together smoothly. It made a stressful day much easier to handle.
I'm usually pretty nervous around doctors. Dr. Anupama has this very calm way about her. She remembers small things—asked how my daughter's exams went, which I'd mentioned in passing months ago. She talks *with* you, not at you. When she explains something, she checks to make sure you've understood, without making you feel silly for asking. That kind of patience is rare.
I'd been to three doctors about this nagging pain and fatigue. Everyone said it was stress. Dr. Gangula Charvitha Reddy was the first one who actually sat and listened, really listened, to everything I was saying. She ordered a specific test the others hadn't, and it turned out to be something quite rare. She explained it all in a way that finally made sense. I'm on the right treatment now, and I feel like I have my life back.
Had to get a small cyst removed. Honestly, I was nervous at first, but Dr. Reddy made it so straightforward. The whole thing was over in what felt like minutes. She told me exactly what she was doing as she did it, which really helped. The stitches were neat, healing was a breeze, and the follow-up was quick. It was just... easy, which is exactly what you want.
Parking at Apollo DRDO was a nightmare that day, completely full. I was flustered by the time I got in. But the front desk lady was so calm and got me sorted quickly. The whole place just felt clean and orderly, which helped me relax. Even the nurse who took my vitals had a nice chat with me. It made a long wait much more bearable.
What stuck with me about Dr. Reddy was how she talked to my elderly mother. She didn't just talk to me. She got down to her eye level, spoke clearly without being patronizing, and checked in with her to make sure she understood. You could see my mom's shoulders relax. That kind of kindness, that's what real care looks like.
