Patient Experience
I've been seeing Dr. Bikram Das for my blood pressure for almost ten years now, since before he moved to Apollo. That's the thing—he remembers. He knows my history without always checking the file, asks about my family. It's not just about the pills; he actually listens if I say a side effect is bothering me and we adjust. In a city this big, finding a doctor you can just trust to be straight with you is everything.
Had my gallbladder out last month. The surgery itself is a blur, but the recovery was rough. Dr. Das was really clear about what pain to expect and what was a red flag. He didn't just throw strong meds at me; we had a plan to taper off sensibly. Follow-up was good, he checked the incisions himself. Still sore sometimes, but he said that's normal and told me exactly what to do. Felt managed, not just processed.
Went in for a nasty sinus thing that wouldn't quit. Dr. Das fixed me up. No fuss, clear advice. Got the right meds, felt better in a few days. What more do you want?
I dragged myself to Apollo with what I thought was just exhaustion. Felt a bit silly, to be honest. Dr. Das, though, he didn't rush. Asked a ton of questions, some that seemed unrelated. Ordered a few more tests than I expected. Turns out, my iron was dangerously low. He sat me down, explained it all in simple terms, no scare tactics. The clinic was running late that day, I waited a bit, but he never made me feel like a number. He called with the test results himself. That attention—it caught something I'd have just kept ignoring.
