Had my gallbladder out last week. The first couple days were rough, I won't lie. But Dr. Poddar's team had a clear plan for the pain. They checked on me often, adjusted things when I needed it. It wasn't just pills; they explained how to move, when to rest. I'm moving around the house now, taking it slow, but each day is a bit easier. The follow-up call to see how I was managing at home meant a lot.

Appendicitis. Went to Apollo Kolkata in a lot of pain. Dr. Avishek Poddar saw me quickly, confirmed it needed surgery. Explained the procedure in simple terms. Surgery went fine. Post-op, the nurses were on top of the meds schedule so the pain never got out of hand. Discharge instructions were clear. Recovering at home now, following the diet plan. Effective care, no fuss.

I was quite nervous before my hernia operation. Dr. Poddar has a very calm way about him. He listened to all my worries and never made me feel rushed. After the surgery, he personally came to see how I was feeling, and his quiet reassurance made a real difference. The hospital stay was smooth, and even though the parking lot was full when I arrived, everything else felt very manageable. I'm grateful for his kindness.

Wow, what a relief! I'd been putting off this surgery for ages because I was scared. Finally saw Dr. Poddar at Apollo. He was so straightforward and confident, it just put me at ease. The whole process was smoother than I imagined. Even waking up after, the pain was nothing like I'd built up in my head. I'm already back to my daily walks! So glad I went through with it.
