Patient Experience
I needed a minor cyst removed, and honestly, I was pretty nervous about the whole thing. Dr. Ahmed's team at Apollo Kolkata scheduled it quickly. The procedure itself was over before I knew it—he kept talking me through what he was doing, which really helped. The follow-up was simple, and the scar is healing much neater than I expected. It was one of those things you dread, but it turned out to be completely straightforward.
Parking at the hospital was a nightmare that day, I won't lie. But once I got inside, the whole experience changed. The front desk staff found my file immediately even though I was flustered. The nurse who took my vitals was really kind and cracked a joke to settle my nerves. The place felt calm and clean, which matters when you're waiting. Dr. Ahmed was running a bit behind, but they let me know, and it wasn't a long wait.
What I remember most is how Dr. Ahmed talked to my elderly mother. She was confused and scared. He didn't just talk to me; he knelt down so he was at her eye level, spoke slowly, and repeated things without a hint of impatience. He treated her with such genuine respect. For us, that kindness was just as important as the medicine. You don't see that everywhere.
Had a persistent stomach issue for weeks. Booked an appointment with Dr. Vinay Mahendra at Apollo Kolkata online. Got in, he listened, asked clear questions, and ordered the right tests. Diagnosis was straightforward, treatment worked. No fuss, just efficient care. Exactly what I needed.
I was quite nervous about some ongoing fatigue. Dr. Mahendra has a very calm way about him. He didn't rush me, explained everything in simple terms, and made a plan that felt manageable. The hospital staff was kind, too. I'm feeling much better now, and I'm very grateful.
Wow, what a difference! I'd been to two other doctors for my migraines with no real help. Dr. Mahendra actually took the time to look at my whole history. He suggested a different approach, and it's like I have my life back. The waiting room was busy, but it was worth it. So relieved!
My son had a high fever that wouldn't break. We went to Apollo and saw Dr. Mahendra. He was direct and reassuring, which we needed. He told us exactly what it was and wasn't, and what to watch for. The medicine he prescribed worked quickly. We left feeling informed and less worried.
My 8-year-old son had a high fever that just wouldn't break, and we were so scared. Dr. Jayanta Sharma at Apollo was the first doctor who really listened to me, not just the chart. He got down on my son's level, explained everything in a way that calmed him down, and his treatment plan worked. The waiting room was packed, but he never made us feel rushed, and my boy is back to his energetic self now.
When my elderly mother was admitted, Dr. Sharma was the one who kept our family from falling apart. He didn't just talk to us in medical jargon; he drew simple diagrams on a notepad to explain what was happening. He gave us his direct number for updates, and even called me once at 8 PM just to say her night was going fine. That kind of communication meant the world when we were all so worried.
Had a weird stomach thing for weeks. Saw Dr. Sharma. He figured it out fast, fixed it. No fuss. Parking at Apollo is always a nightmare, but the appointment itself was straightforward.
I walked into Apollo Kolkata last month feeling like a bundle of vague aches and exhaustion. Honestly, I was expecting a quick check and a generic prescription. Dr. Jayanta Sharma surprised me. He spent a solid twenty minutes just asking questions about my work stress, sleep, everything. He connected dots I didn't even see, ordered specific tests instead of guessing, and called me personally with the results. The clinic was running late that day, but the wait was worth it because he gave that same attention to everyone. He treated the cause, not just the symptoms.
I've been seeing Dr. Jai Ranjan Ram for my blood pressure and general check-ups for almost eight years now. He remembers my history without me having to repeat everything, and I never feel rushed. That kind of consistency is hard to find. When he suggested a small change in my medication last year, I trusted him completely because he's always been straight with me.
I was so nervous going in—first time at a big hospital like Apollo and I had no idea what was wrong with me. Dr. Ram just had this calm way about him. He listened to all my jumbled-up worries, did a quick check, and said, "Okay, let's figure this out together." I left feeling like I could actually breathe again, not because he gave me a magic answer, but because he made me feel heard.
Dr. Ram is good. Fixed my stomach issue that was bothering me for weeks. Explained things clearly, no unnecessary tests. Would go back if I needed to.
So, I'd been putting off this weird fatigue for months, and my wife finally made the appointment. The parking at Apollo was a nightmare, so I was already flustered. Dr. Ram walks in, asks how my drive was, and we just start talking. He didn't just look at my chart; he asked about my work stress, my sleep, everything. By the end, he'd connected dots I didn't even see and laid out a simple plan. It wasn't a dramatic diagnosis, just a doctor who actually took the time to see the whole picture.
I'd been to a few doctors about this nagging fatigue and stomach thing, and honestly, I was starting to think it was all in my head. Dr. Kamal was different. He actually listened to the whole, messy story, asked questions no one else had, and ordered a specific test. Turns out it was a weird thyroid issue combined with a mild gluten sensitivity. Not life-threatening, but it explained everything. He laid out a clear plan, no drama, and I finally feel like myself again.
Had to get a cyst removed from my back. Simple day procedure, but I was pretty nervous. Dr. Kamal's team at Apollo had it down to a science. The nurse who prepped me was really calming, and the doctor himself came in, cracked a small joke about my tattoo, and explained exactly what he was going to do. It was over in what felt like minutes. Sore for a couple days, but the follow-up was quick and the scar is healing nicely. Just a smooth, no-fuss experience.
The place was busy, I'll say that. Parking was a bit of a hunt. But once I got inside, the front desk people were surprisingly patient with the crowd. The waiting area was clean and quiet, which helped. What stood out was how the assistant remembered my name when she called me in, and that Dr. Kamal had clearly read my file before walking in. It felt coordinated, not rushed, even on a packed day.
Look, I'm not great with doctors. I get quiet and just agree with everything. Dr. Kamal has this way of talking that puts you at ease. He doesn't just fire questions; he chats. He noticed I was clamming up and said, 'Tell me in your own words, what's bothering you the most today?' That changed everything. He explained my blood pressure meds using a plumbing analogy I actually understood. Felt like talking to a very knowledgeable, calm friend.
My family and I have been seeing Dr. Bardhan for over a decade now. He remembers my husband's blood pressure history and my son's old allergies without always checking the file. That consistency means something. The clinic at Apollo can be busy, and sometimes you wait, but you know you're getting someone who truly understands your whole health picture. He doesn't rush, and he explains things in a way that makes sense. That trust is hard to find.
