Patient Experience
Had my gallbladder out with Dr. Jalan last month. The surgery itself went fine, but the first couple days after were rough. What really helped was how clear he was about the pain plan. He didn't just throw pills at me; he explained what to expect each day and when to call. Made getting through it a lot less scary. Still sore, but improving exactly like he said I would.
My dad was admitted under Dr. Jalan for a severe infection. We were all really worried, especially my mom. Dr. Jalan took the time to explain everything to us in simple terms, not just once but every day. He'd call me directly with updates when I couldn't be there. He never made us feel like we were bothering him with questions. Having a doctor who talks *with* the family, not just at them, made a world of difference during a scary time.
Went to Dr. Jalan for a persistent stomach issue. Parking at Apollo was a nightmare, FYI. He was straight to the point, ordered the right tests, figured it out. Got me on a treatment that worked. No fluff, just fixed the problem. Would see him again.
I'd been putting off seeing someone about this nagging pain for ages, just nervous about hospitals. Finally booked with Dr. Vishal Jalan at Apollo. The clinic was running late that day, I waited about 40 minutes reading old magazines. But when I got in, he just had this calm way about him. He listened to my whole rambling story, asked a few specific questions, and his diagnosis just clicked. The treatment was simple, but it was his manner that did it—he made a stressful thing feel manageable. Even followed up with a nurse call a week later to check in. Felt genuinely looked after.
