Patient Experience
I'd been to a couple of doctors for this weird fatigue and joint pain, and everyone just said it was stress. Dr. Archana Ranade was different. She actually listened, asked about things no one else did, and ordered some specific tests. Turns out it was something pretty rare. She explained it all to me in a way that finally made sense. I'm on the right treatment now, and it's like night and day.
Had to get a small cyst removed. Honestly, I was nervous at first, but Dr. Ranade made it so straightforward. The whole thing at Apollo was quick – in and out in a few hours. The procedure itself was fine, no surprises. She checked in the next day, which I really appreciated. Sometimes simple is good.
The waiting area at Apollo was actually calm, which helped. But what really stood out was her assistant. I was a bit confused about the new patient forms, and she walked me through everything without making me feel silly. The whole team, from the front desk to the nurses, seemed to know what they were doing. It made the visit less stressful.
My kid was really scared about getting a check-up. Dr. Ranade didn't just talk to me; she got down on his level, showed him the stethoscope, let him listen to his own heartbeat. He went from hiding behind my legs to showing her his toy car. That kind of patience and warmth, you don't forget that. She's good with people, not just charts.
