I'd been to a couple of doctors about this nagging fatigue and stomach thing, and everyone just said it was stress. Dr. Balakrishnan actually listened to the whole weird timeline, asked questions no one else had. He ordered a specific test the others hadn't, and it turned out to be something pretty uncommon. He explained it all with a diagram on his notepad—didn't rush me at all. Finally felt like someone had actually solved the puzzle.
Had to get a minor cyst removed. Honestly, I was nervous at first, but the whole thing at Apollo Adlux was so straightforward. Dr. Balakrishnan talked me through each step before he did it, the actual procedure was quick, and the nurse gave really clear instructions for the bandage afterwards. It healed up perfectly. Sometimes simple things going right is a huge relief.
The hospital itself is nice, but what stood out was the team. From the front desk person who helped me find my way to the ward, to the assistant who saw I was looking confused by the BP machine and showed me how it worked. Dr. Balakrishnan's nurse was especially good—calm, and she remembered my name when I came back for the follow-up. It felt coordinated, not chaotic.
Look, I'm not great with doctors. I get awkward. But Dr. Balakrishnan has this really calm, direct way about him. He doesn't fill the silence with chatter, but he also doesn't make you feel like just a chart. When I told him I was worried about the cost of a medication, he immediately suggested a reliable generic alternative. It felt like he was just talking to me, not at me.
