Patient Experience
I'd been to a couple of doctors about this nagging fatigue and stomach pain. Everyone said it was stress. Dr. Shaeq Mirza actually listened to the whole timeline, asked some really specific questions I hadn't been asked before, and ordered a different set of tests. Turned out it was something pretty rare with my pancreas. He explained it in a way that finally made sense, without making me feel stupid for not knowing. He just connected dots others missed.
Had to get a minor cyst removed. Honestly, I was more nervous about the hospital experience than the procedure itself. But Dr. Mirza's team at Apollo had it down. The nurse who prepped me was really calming, and the doctor himself walked me through each step as he was doing it. It was over before I knew it. The whole thing felt very standard for them, which was exactly what I needed—no drama, just competence.
The waiting area at Apollo was packed, I won't lie. But once I got in, the difference was clear. The front desk staff sorted my paperwork quickly, and the assistants with Dr. Mirza were efficient and actually smiled. It didn't feel like a factory. Even the cleaner in the hallway gave a nod. It sounds small, but when you're not feeling great, those little human touches from the entire team make the place feel less intimidating.
Look, I'm not great with doctors. I get awkward. But Dr. Mirza has this very calm, direct way about him. He doesn't fill the silence with chatter, but he also doesn't rush you. When I told him I was worried about a medication side-effect, he didn't dismiss it; he laid out my options plainly. He remembered my kid's name from my last visit. It just felt like he was seeing me, not just a chart.
I was so nervous going in for my first check-up in years. Dr. Vamsee Priya just had this calm way about her that made me feel okay. She explained everything without making me feel silly for asking questions. Left feeling like a weight was off my shoulders.
As a senior citizen, one does appreciate a doctor who takes the time. Dr. Marina at Apollo was very considerate. She listened patiently to my old-fashioned concerns and made sure I was comfortable throughout. A very kind and professional lady.
Had a weird pain, went to see Dr. Vamsee Priya Marina. She was straight to the point, figured it out fast. Got a clear plan, no fuss. Good experience.
My whole family was down with a nasty flu, and I was the last one standing until I wasn't. Felt awful. The wait at Apollo was a bit long, parking was a nightmare, but once I got in to see Dr. Marina, it was different. She didn't just rush me through. Asked about my kids, how we were managing. She remembered details from my file I'd forgotten I'd mentioned. Prescribed what was needed but also told me which home remedy might actually help with the sore throat. It felt like she was treating me, not just the bug. Followed up with the clinic two days later to check on us. That meant a lot.
I've been seeing Dr. Sivananda Reddy for my blood pressure and general check-ups for almost eight years now. The clinic at Apollo can get busy, but that's just how it is. What matters is that he remembers my history, asks about my family, and never rushes me. He's the first doctor I've had where I don't feel like I'm starting from zero every visit. That kind of consistency is hard to find.
My 7-year-old spiked a crazy high fever and was just listless. We were terrified. Dr. Reddy at Apollo saw us quickly, even though it was packed. He got down on my son's level, talked to him so gently, and explained everything to us in simple terms. He didn't just throw medicine at us; he told us exactly what to watch for and when to come back. My kid, who usually hates doctors, said he was 'nice.' That meant everything.
Had a weird stomach thing that wouldn't go away. Saw Dr. B Sivananda Reddy. He was straight to the point, ordered the right tests, figured it out. No fluff. Fixed it. What more do you want?
So, I'd been putting off a general check-up for ages, you know how it is. Finally dragged myself to Apollo. The parking was a nightmare, I was already grumpy. Dr. Reddy walks in, calm as anything. He's going through my file and goes, 'You mentioned this minor knee ache last year. Is it better?' I'd completely forgotten I'd even said that. He actually listened and remembered. The whole appointment felt like he was solving a puzzle, not just checking boxes. He sent me for one specific blood test based on a family history thing I mentioned, and it caught a thyroid issue early. I'm just glad I went.
I'd been to a couple of doctors for this weird, lingering fatigue and stomach pain. Everyone said it was stress. Dr. Ershad was different. He actually sat and listened to every little detail I mentioned, even the ones I thought were silly. He ordered some specific tests others hadn't, and it turned out to be a tricky parasite. He explained it all with a diagram on his notepad—no fancy jargon. I'm finally on the right treatment, and it feels like a huge weight is off.
Had to get a cyst removed from my back. Honestly, I was nervous at first, but Dr. Ershad made it feel like no big deal. The whole thing at Apollo was over in an hour. He talked me through each step, the local anesthetic worked perfectly, and I barely felt a thing. The stitches were so neat you can hardly see the scar now. It was just a straightforward, smooth experience from start to finish.
The parking at Apollo was a nightmare that day, completely full. I was flustered by the time I got to the clinic. But the lady at Dr. Ershad's front desk was so calm and kind, she got me sorted right away. The whole place just felt clean and efficient without being cold. Even the person who took my blood samples was really gentle. It made a stressful visit much easier to handle.
What I remember most is how he talked to my elderly mother. She gets confused easily and was scared about her new medication. Dr. Ershad didn't just talk to me; he knelt down so he was at her eye level, spoke slowly, and repeated the instructions just for her. He had this quiet, patient way about him that immediately put her at ease. You don't see that kind of care every day.
I'd been feeling off for months, tired all the time with weird aches. Saw a couple of doctors who said it was just stress. Dr. Kartik Valipay was different. He actually listened, asked a ton of questions I hadn't been asked before, and ordered some specific tests. Turns out it was a thyroid issue that wasn't showing up on standard panels. He explained it in a way that finally made sense. I'm on treatment now and feel like myself again.
Had to get a minor cyst removed. Honestly, I was nervous at first, but Dr. Valipay made it simple. The whole thing at Apollo was over in an hour. He talked me through each step, the local anesthetic worked fine, and I was back home with clear instructions. No drama, no fuss. Sometimes you just want something straightforward, and that's exactly what it was.
The parking at Apollo was a nightmare that day, completely full. I was flustered by the time I got to the clinic. But the receptionist was really calm and got me checked in fast. The whole place felt clean and organized, which helped me settle down. Even the nurse who took my vitals was friendly. It made the wait for my appointment with Dr. Valipay much easier.
What stuck with me about Dr. Valipay was how he talked to my elderly father. He didn't rush. He sat down, made eye contact, and explained things without using confusing medical jargon. He checked if Dad understood and even drew a little diagram on his notepad. You could tell he genuinely cared about the person, not just the chart. That kind of patience is rare.
