Patient Experience
I'd been to three other doctors about this constant fatigue and stomach pain. Everyone said it was stress. Dr. Mahata was the first one who actually sat and listened, really listened, to everything I said. He ordered a specific test the others hadn't, and it turned out to be a tricky thyroid issue that was messing with my digestion. He explained it in a way that finally made sense. I'm on treatment now and feel like myself again.
Had to get a small cyst removed. Honestly, I was nervous at first, but Dr. Mahata made it so straightforward. The whole thing at Apollo was quick – in and out in a few hours. He told me exactly what he was going to do, the local anesthetic worked fine, and I barely felt a thing. The stitches were neat, healed up perfectly. It was just a simple thing, but it's a relief to have it done and not worry anymore.
The appointment was early, and I'll admit, finding parking at Apollo that morning was a bit of a hassle. But once I got inside, it made a difference. The lady at the front desk saw I was flustered and helped me out with a smile. The nurse who took my vitals was really gentle and chatty, which calmed me down. Even the cleaner in the hallway said good morning. It felt like a place where people actually cared, not just a factory.
What I remember most is how Dr. Mahata talked to my elderly mother. She gets confused easily and was asking the same question over and over. He never sighed or looked at his watch. He just answered her every single time, patiently, in a calm voice, and even cracked a little joke to make her smile. He treated her with such respect. That meant more to our family than any medicine.
