Dr. Sharmishtha Patra

I've been seeing Dr. Patra for my blood pressure and general health for over eight years now, since she was at a different clinic. When she moved to Apollo, I followed her. That's how much I trust her. She remembers the details—what worked last time, what didn't—and she doesn't just rush to prescribe. She actually listens to how you're feeling day-to-day. The new hospital is bigger and parking is a hassle, but having a doctor who knows your whole history is worth it.

As someone who manages a team and travels constantly, I don't have time for drawn-out appointments or uncertainty. Dr. Patra gets that. I came in with a persistent stomach issue that was affecting my work. She was direct, ordered the right tests quickly, and explained the treatment plan clearly. I was in and out efficiently, and more importantly, the issue was resolved in a couple of weeks. Exactly what I needed.

Look, I hate going to the doctor. Always nervous. But Dr. Patra is straight with you, no sugar-coating. I had this weird rash and was freaking out. She took one look, asked a couple of questions, and told me exactly what it was (turned out to be a simple allergy) and what to do. No fancy jargon, just clear instructions. The wait was a bit long that day, but the actual appointment was great. She's good.

My experience with Dr. Sharmishtha Patra was a bit of a journey. I'd been feeling run-down for months—just low energy, not myself. I saw another doctor who brushed it off as stress. A friend recommended Dr. Patra at Apollo. The first thing she did was sit down and really go through everything, from my sleep to my diet. She suggested some specific blood tests others hadn't. Found a vitamin deficiency that was the root cause. The follow-up was thorough; she called herself with the results and walked me through the supplement plan. It took a few weeks, but I finally started feeling like me again. It wasn't a miracle cure, but it was careful, thoughtful detective work.
