Patient Experience
My energy had been low for months, and a few other doctors just chalked it up to stress. Dr. Abrar Ahmed was different. He actually listened to every little symptom I mentioned, even the weird ones I thought were unrelated. He ordered a specific set of tests the others hadn't, and that's how we found the real issue. It wasn't straightforward, but he explained the possibilities in a way that didn't scare me. I'm on the right treatment now, and I finally feel like myself again.
I needed a minor cyst removed, and honestly, I was pretty nervous about the whole thing. Dr. Ahmed's team at Apollo Kolkata scheduled it quickly. The procedure itself was over before I knew it—he kept talking me through what he was doing, which really helped. The follow-up was simple, and the scar is healing much neater than I expected. It was one of those things you dread, but it turned out to be completely straightforward.
Parking at the hospital was a nightmare that day, I won't lie. But once I got inside, the whole experience changed. The front desk staff found my file immediately even though I was flustered. The nurse who took my vitals was really kind and cracked a joke to settle my nerves. The place felt calm and clean, which matters when you're waiting. Dr. Ahmed was running a bit behind, but they let me know, and it wasn't a long wait.
What I remember most is how Dr. Ahmed talked to my elderly mother. She was confused and scared. He didn't just talk to me; he knelt down so he was at her eye level, spoke slowly, and repeated things without a hint of impatience. He treated her with such genuine respect. For us, that kindness was just as important as the medicine. You don't see that everywhere.
