Patient Experience
Had my gallbladder out last month. The first couple days were rough, I won't lie. But Dr. Bharadwaj's team had a clear plan for the pain. He checked on me every morning, asked specific questions about the discomfort, and adjusted things until it was manageable. It wasn't magic, but it was controlled. I felt listened to, which helped more than I expected. At Apollo, the physio people got me moving safely. I'm back to making my own meals now, slowly.
Appendicitis. Went to Apollo in a lot of pain. Dr. Bharadwaj saw me quickly, confirmed it needed to come out, and explained the procedure in plain terms. No fluff. Surgery went fine. Post-op, he was direct about what to expect—the gas pain, the shoulder ache—so I wasn't scared when it happened. His instructions for home were clear: walk, rest, take meds on schedule. Follow-up was straightforward. I'm healed.
I was quite nervous about my hernia operation. Dr. Bharadwaj has a very calm way about him. He didn't rush my questions and showed me the scans, pointing things out gently. After surgery, he was very attentive to my comfort. The nursing staff followed his instructions closely, and he personally made sure the pain was under control before I left the hospital. My recovery at home has been smooth. I'm very grateful for his kind care.
Finally got my knee sorted! Years of putting it off. Dr. Bharadwaj at Apollo did the replacement. The day after surgery was tough, but his team was on it with the meds and ice. He has this great energy—came in, said 'Right, let's get you standing,' and somehow you want to try. The recovery exercises are no joke, but he makes you believe you can do it. Two months on, I'm walking to the park again. What a difference!
