Patient Experience
I'd been to a couple of doctors about this constant fatigue and stomach pain, and everyone just said it was stress. Dr. Das actually listened, really listened, and asked questions about things no one else had. He ordered a specific test the others hadn't thought of, and it turned out to be a tricky thyroid issue combined with a mild food intolerance. He explained it all on a notepad, drawing little diagrams. It wasn't just in my head after all.
Had to get a small cyst removed from my back. Honestly, I was nervous about the local anesthetic and the whole thing. Dr. Das talked me through each step as he was doing it, just casual chat about my work, which really took my mind off it. The procedure itself was over before I knew it. The stitches were so neat my wife said she could barely see them. It was just a straightforward thing, but he made it feel like nothing.
The Apollo waiting area was actually calm for a change, and the nurses at the front knew exactly where to send me. I was early and the parking was a nightmare, but once I got inside, things moved. What stood out was his assistant, Rina. I'd left my reports at home in a panic, and she helped me get them emailed over without any fuss or making me feel stupid. It's the little things that smooth out a stressful day.
My son, he's eight, was terrified of doctors. Hiding behind my legs, the whole bit. Dr. Das didn't force it. He sat down, started talking to him about school and cartoons, and did the initial checkup while my son was distracted telling a story. He has this quiet, patient way about him that just puts you at ease. By the end, my son was showing him a toy car. That meant more to me than any medicine.
