Patient Experience
I've been seeing Dr. Mandal for my diabetes and blood pressure for about eight years now. He remembers the little things from my last visit, which makes a big difference. The clinic at Apollo can get busy, but he never rushes me. I trust him completely because he's straightforward—if something's working, we keep it; if it's not, we change it. No drama, just good, consistent care.
Had my gallbladder out last month. The first couple days were rough, I won't lie. Dr. Mandal's team was really clear about the pain med schedule and what to watch for. He checked on me himself every morning, even on the weekend. The follow-up call a week later was a nice touch—answered a bunch of my "is this normal?" questions.
Went in for a bad stomach bug. Dr. Mandal fixed me up quick. Got the meds, felt better in a couple days. Straight to the point, which I like.
My whole thing started with this weird, lingering fatigue. I'd seen a couple doctors who just shrugged. Dr. Mandal actually sat and listened to the whole saga. He asked about my sleep, my work stress, everything. Ordered some specific tests others hadn't. Turned out it was a thyroid issue, not just 'getting older.' The way he explained it, with a simple diagram on his notepad, finally made it click for me. I'm on treatment now and finally feel like myself again. Parking at Apollo that day was a nightmare, but honestly, it was worth it.
