Dr. Sandhya Peethani

I'd been to a couple of doctors about this nagging fatigue and stomach pain, and everyone just said it was stress. Dr. Sandhya was different. She actually sat and listened, really listened, to everything I was saying. She ordered some tests other doctors hadn't thought of and figured out it was a tricky thyroid issue combined with a mild food intolerance. It wasn't a quick fix, but having a real answer after months of feeling awful was such a relief. She's at Apollo Kakinada, and she's sharp.

Had to get a small cyst removed from my back. Honestly, I was nervous at first, but Dr. Sandhya made it so simple. She explained exactly what she was going to do, step by step, in the clinic room itself. The whole thing took maybe twenty minutes, and I barely felt a thing. Even the stitch she put in was neat. It healed up perfectly. Sometimes the simple stuff is what shows you how good a doctor really is.

Parking at Apollo Kakinada was a nightmare that day, completely full, so I was pretty frazzled by the time I got to Dr. Peethani's clinic. But the lady at the front desk was really kind and got me sorted quickly. The whole place just felt calm and clean, which helped me settle down. When Dr. Sandhya came in, she was totally unfazed by my late arrival and just got straight to helping me. The whole team there just works well together.

What I remember most is how she talked to my elderly mother. Mom gets confused easily and is scared of hospitals. Dr. Sandhya didn't just talk to me; she knelt down so she was at eye level with Mom in her wheelchair, held her hand, and explained things in the simplest words. She had this warm, patient way about her that made Mom trust her immediately. You can't teach that. It's just who she is.
