Patient Experience
Had my gallbladder out at Apollo Karur. The surgery itself went fine, but the first couple days after were rough. Dr. Udhayakumari really listened when I said the pain was bad and adjusted my meds without making me feel like I was complaining. She checked on me every morning, even on the weekend. I'm home now and the recovery is actually going okay, which I wasn't sure would happen.
I was so nervous going in for my stomach issues—first time seeing a specialist. Dr. Udhayakumari just had a calm way about her. She didn't rush me, explained everything in simple terms, and actually smiled. Left feeling like I finally had a plan and someone who understood. Big relief.
Saw Dr. Udhayakumari for a persistent cough. Straight to the point, which I like. Asked the right questions, ordered the needed tests, and gave clear instructions. Got it sorted in two visits. Good doctor.
My experience started in the middle of the night with awful abdominal pain. My husband drove me to Apollo Karur's emergency. Dr. Udhayakumari was the one who saw me. She was direct but kind, asked about my history while the nurse got me settled. She suspected appendicitis and explained why we needed a scan right away, even though it was 2 AM. She called the surgeon herself to discuss the results. The whole thing was scary, but she made each step clear. I ended up having surgery that morning, and she came by after to see how I was doing. It felt like she was really steering the ship during a crisis.
