Patient Experience
I was very nervous about some ongoing fatigue. Dr. Sandip Mandal has a calm way about him. He didn't rush me, explained things quietly, and made sure I understood each step. The hospital was busy, but in his room, I felt heard. It made a difficult time much easier.
After two other opinions, my mom's constant aches were still a mystery. Took her to see Dr. Mandal. He connected dots others missed! We finally have answers and she's improving. Honestly, we're so relieved. He's the doctor you hope to find.
Went in for a general check-up, a bit overdue. The wait was longer than expected, parking was a hassle. But Dr. Mandal was worth it. Straightforward, reviewed everything thoroughly, gave practical advice for my lifestyle. Left feeling well-informed and on track.
My visit to Dr. Sovan Sinha was prompted by a persistent discomfort in my chest. I must admit, I was rather nervous at my age, but he put me at ease immediately. His manner is very calm and reassuring. He listened carefully to my old-fashioned descriptions, never made me feel rushed, and explained everything about my treatment plan in a way I could understand. The hospital itself is very comfortable, though the parking area was quite full that morning. I left feeling well looked after and much less worried.
Had a bad cough for three weeks. Went to Apollo. Saw Dr. Sinha. He asked clear questions, checked me over, ordered an X-ray. Diagnosis was straightforward, got the right medicine. Follow-up was efficient. Cough cleared up in a few days. No fuss, good result.
I was feeling quite run down and anxious about my general health. Dr. Sinha has such a gentle way about him. He didn't just look at my chart; he looked at me, asked how I was really coping. His advice was practical and kind, and he took the time to answer all my quiet questions. It felt like a proper consultation, not just a quick in-and-out. I'm very grateful for his considerate approach.
Honestly, I was a wreck before my appointment! I'd been putting off a check-up for ages and convinced myself something was seriously wrong. Dr. Sinha was fantastic—he actually laughed kindly at some of my wilder worries and then methodically put my mind at rest. His explanation was so clear, and he had this 'we'll sort this' attitude that was just what I needed. What a relief! I walked out of there feeling ten pounds lighter. The whole experience, even with a bit of a wait in the lobby, was exactly what I'd hoped for.
At my age, you want a doctor who listens more than they talk. Dr. Pal was exactly that. I was nervous about some persistent stomach trouble, but she explained everything in simple terms, never rushed me. The clinic at Apollo was comfortable, and she even remembered my name when the nurse called me in. I left feeling understood and with a clear plan.
Our 8-year-old, Rohan, had a high fever that wouldn't break, and we were panicking. Dr. Seeta Pal was so calm with him, talking to him about school while she checked him over. She didn't just treat the fever; she explained to us, the worried parents, exactly what was happening and what to watch for at home. She called the next day to check on him. That kind of care means everything.
Had a weird rash. Dr. Pal at Apollo Kolkata sorted it out fast. No fuss, straight to the point, told me what it was and what to do. Prescription worked. Good experience.
I'd been putting off a general check-up for years, always too busy. Finally went to Dr. Pal after a friend's push. The waiting area was packed, I'll be honest. But once I got in, she spent a solid 20 minutes with me. She asked about my work stress, my sleep, things I didn't even think were related. Ordered a few basic tests based on that chat, and found my vitamin D was practically nonexistent. Started supplements on her advice, and the constant fatigue I'd just accepted? Gone in a month. She connected dots I didn't know were there.
My 8-year-old son had a fever that just wouldn't break, and we were really scared. Dr. Shila Mitra at Apollo Kolkata was so calm with him, explained everything in a way he could understand, and didn't just throw antibiotics at us. She took the time to figure out it was a viral thing and gave us a clear plan. The wait was long, but she made us feel like we were her only patients that day.
When my elderly father was admitted, Dr. Mitra was the one who actually called me directly to explain his condition in plain Bengali, not just medical jargon. She didn't sugarcoat things, but she laid out the options clearly and answered every single one of my panicked questions, even the silly ones. It made a horrible situation feel manageable because we finally understood what was happening.
Had a weird stomach issue for weeks. Saw Dr. Mitra. She listened, ran the right tests, fixed it. No fuss. Would go back.
I'd been feeling run-down for months—just tired all the time, headaches, the works. My local doc kept saying it was stress. I finally booked an appointment with Dr. Shila Mitra at Apollo, expecting another quick check. Instead, she spent nearly 45 minutes with me, asking questions about everything from my sleep to my diet. She remembered a detail I'd mentioned offhand about some joint pain. Ordered a specific blood test my old doctor never did. Turns out, it was a vitamin deficiency that was easily fixed. She didn't just treat a symptom; she actually found the root cause. The hospital itself was busy, parking was a nightmare, but her approach made all the difference.
I'd been to a couple of doctors about this nagging fatigue and stomach pain, and everyone just said it was stress. Dr. Bhattacharya was different. She actually listened, asked questions about things no one else had, and ordered some specific tests. Turns out it was a tricky thyroid issue combined with a mild food intolerance. She explained it all on a notepad, drawing little diagrams. I'm finally on the right treatment at Apollo and feel like myself again.
Had to get a small cyst removed from my back. Honestly, I was more worried about the scar and the process than the cyst itself. Dr. Bhattacharya made it so simple. The procedure itself at Apollo was quick, and she talked me through each step. The cut is tiny and neat. The whole thing felt very standard for them, which was actually reassuring. Follow-up was a breeze.
The place was busy, I had to wait a bit past my appointment time, which I expected. But what stood out was how the nurse at the desk noticed I looked anxious and offered me some water. Later, the assistant who took my vitals was really gentle and cracked a small joke to lighten the mood. Even the cleaner in the hallway gave a friendly nod. It felt like a team effort, and Dr. Bhattacharya seemed to be the calm center of it all.
My teenage son had to see her, and he was shutting down, just giving one-word answers. Instead of pushing, Dr. Bhattacharya changed her approach. She started asking him about his football practice, then slowly worked the medical questions into that conversation. She spoke directly to him, not just to me. He left the room actually understanding what was wrong with his knee. That meant a lot.
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.
