I've been seeing Dr. Lakshminarayanan for my blood pressure and general health for nearly eight years now. The clinic at Apollo can get busy, and you might wait a bit, but it's always worth it. He remembers the details from my last visit, asks about my family, and never rushes. That consistency is what keeps me coming back. I trust his judgment completely because he explains things clearly without making me feel rushed out the door.
Had a persistent stomach issue. Went to Dr. V V Lakshminarayanan. He listened, asked direct questions, and ordered the right tests. No unnecessary drama. Got a clear diagnosis and a treatment plan that worked. Parking at the hospital was a hassle that day, but the consultation itself was efficient and effective. Problem solved.
I was quite worried about some recurring headaches. Dr. Lakshminarayanan has such a calm way about him. He took his time, explained everything in a very gentle manner, and reassured me without dismissing my concerns. He didn't just hand me a prescription; he talked about stress and simple lifestyle adjustments first. I left feeling heard and much lighter.
After weeks of feeling run-down and getting the runaround, my wife insisted I see a proper doctor. Found Dr. Lakshminarayanan at Apollo. Wow, what a difference! He actually figured out what was wrong—a vitamin deficiency that everyone else missed. Started the supplements he suggested and I feel like a new person. So glad we finally found him!
