Patient Experience
I've been seeing Dr. Ashfaque Ahmed for my diabetes and blood pressure for over eight years now. He moved to Apollo, so I followed him. That's the thing—you find a doctor who listens, who remembers your history without checking the file every time, and you stick with them. The clinic is busy, sure, sometimes you wait a bit, but he never rushes you out. He explains the 'why' behind any change in medication. It's that consistency that keeps me healthy.
Had a bad stomach issue for weeks. Went to Dr. Ahmed at Apollo. He asked clear questions, ordered the right tests, and diagnosed it quickly. No unnecessary drama. Prescription worked. Problem solved. He's direct, which I prefer. Parking at the hospital is always a hassle, but the appointment itself was efficient.
I was quite nervous about some persistent joint pain. Dr. Ashfaque Ahmed has such a calm way about him. He didn't dismiss my worries, just listened quietly and then gently walked me through what it could be and what it likely wasn't. He suggested a simple course of action first, rather than jumping to scary tests. It put me at ease. The approach was thoughtful, and it helped.
After months of feeling run-down and getting nowhere with other doctors, my wife made me see Dr. Ahmed. What a difference! He actually pieced together my symptoms—the fatigue, the headaches—and figured out it was a vitamin deficiency and a thyroid thing. Started treatment and within a few weeks, I felt like myself again. I was so relieved to finally have an answer. He's very good at connecting the dots.
Had a persistent stomach issue for months. Dr. Chakrapani saw me at Apollo Kolkata, got straight to the point, ordered the right tests, and had a clear treatment plan by my next visit. No fluff, just fixed it. Back to work without the distraction.
At my age, a hospital visit can be quite daunting. Dr. Anupam Chakrapani at Apollo was very kind and took his time to explain everything about my medication in a way I could understand. He has a very calm manner, which put me at ease. I felt properly looked after.
Look, I hate going to the doctor. But this guy was good. I walked in with a weird pain, told him my symptoms, and he didn't waste time. Figured it out, gave me a prescription, and I was out. Simple. Would go back if I had to.
I was really nervous—first major health scare. The waiting area was packed, which didn't help. But Dr. Chakrapani changed the whole experience. He listened to my whole history, asked thoughtful questions I hadn't even considered, and walked me through each possible cause before settling on a diagnosis. He even drew a little diagram on his notepad to show me what was going on. Left feeling informed and actually cared for, not just processed.
I've been seeing Dr. Kajal Das for my arthritis for a few years now. At my age, you want a doctor who listens and doesn't rush you. She always does. The clinic at Apollo is comfortable, and she explains things in a way I can understand. I feel well looked after.
Our 8-year-old had a high fever that wouldn't break, and we were really scared. Dr. Das at Apollo was so calm with him, and with us. She took the time to explain everything that was happening and what the medicine would do. She called the next day to check on him, which meant a lot. We felt like she truly cared about our son getting better.
Had a weird stomach thing going on for weeks. Saw Dr. Kajal Das. She figured it out fast, gave me a clear plan. No fuss, got the job done. Parking at the hospital is always a nightmare, though.
I went in for what I thought was just a bad cough, but I was feeling really run down. Dr. Das didn't just write a prescription. She asked a lot of questions, even about my work stress, and listened carefully. She connected some dots I hadn't and suggested a few tests. It turned out to be a bit more than a simple cold, and catching it early made all the difference. The whole process, from her manner to the follow-up, made me feel like I was in good hands.
I'd been to a couple of doctors for this nagging stomach pain, everyone said it was just acidity. Dr. Naskar was different. He actually listened, asked about things that seemed unrelated, and ordered a specific scan others hadn't. Turned out it was a tricky gallbladder issue that wasn't obvious. He explained it all with a diagram on his notepad—no fancy jargon, just clear facts. I felt heard for the first time.
Needed a minor cyst removal. Honestly, I was more nervous about the hospital experience than the procedure itself. But Dr. Naskar's team at Apollo had it down. The nurse who prepped me was really calming, and the doctor himself cracked a small joke right before, which helped. It was over in what felt like minutes. The whole thing was just... straightforward. No drama, no fuss, just done well.
The place was busy, I'll admit—parking was a hassle that day. But once inside, the difference was clear. The front desk staff sorted my papers without making me repeat myself, and the ward assistant who showed me to the room was genuinely kind. It's a big hospital, but they made it feel less impersonal. Dr. Naskar's calm demeanor fit right in with that environment.
What stuck with me was how Dr. Naskar talks to you. He doesn't just look at the file; he looks at you. When I was worried about my blood pressure readings, he didn't dismiss it. He sat back, asked about my work stress, and we had a real conversation about small, practical changes. He feels like a doctor who remembers you're a person, not just a set of symptoms.
I'd been to a few doctors about this nagging pain and fatigue, and everyone just said it was stress. Dr. Jain actually listened. He asked questions about things no one else had, like the weird rash I'd had months before. He ordered some specific tests, and it turned out to be something pretty rare. He explained it all in a way I could grasp, without talking down to me. He didn't just treat a symptom; he figured out the actual problem.
Had to get a cyst removed. Honestly, I was nervous at first, but Dr. Jain made it seem so straightforward. The whole thing was over before I knew it. The incision was tiny, and his instructions for aftercare were clear—no confusing medical jargon. Recovery was a breeze, just like he said it would be. It felt good to have something go exactly as planned for once.
The Apollo facility is nice, but what stood out was the team. The front desk remembered my name when I came for my follow-up, which was a nice touch. The nurse who took my vitals was really kind; I was running late and a bit flustered, and she just calmed me down. Even the person who brought the tea after my consultation had a smile. It felt like everyone was on the same page, and that made a stressful day much easier.
What I liked most about Dr. Jain is that he doesn't rush you. He sits down, looks you in the eye, and lets you finish your sentences. When my mother was sick, he spoke to her with such patience, repeating things gently when she was confused. He has a quiet, reassuring way about him. You don't feel like just another file on his desk.
