Dr. Ajay Bahadur

I've been seeing Dr. Ajay Bahadur for my blood pressure and general health for about eight years now, since before he moved to Apollo. He remembers the little things—like asking about my knee from a visit two years ago—and never rushes me. That kind of consistency is hard to find. You don't realize how important it is until you've had it for a while. Sure, the Apollo waiting area can get busy, but once you're in his room, he gives you his full attention. I trust him completely.

My father was admitted under Dr. Bahadur's care last month. We were all really scared, but Dr. Bahadur made a point to explain everything to us in simple terms after each visit, even when it was late. He gave us his direct number for the ward and actually answered when we called with questions. He didn't just treat my dad; he treated our whole family's anxiety. The nurses said he's always like that with families, which really put us at ease during a tough time.

Went in for a persistent cough that my local doc couldn't figure out. Dr. Bahadur at Apollo Lucknow sorted it in one visit. Straight talk, clear advice, got the right tests ordered. Parking was a hassle, but he was worth it.

I was new to Lucknow and woke up with awful stomach pain. Went to Apollo's emergency, and Dr. Bahadur was on duty. He was calm while I was definitely not. He asked a ton of questions—not just about the pain, but about my job, my diet since moving, everything. Thought it might be an ulcer, but he wanted to rule out other things first. The process took a few hours of tests and waiting around, but he checked in personally with updates. Turned out to be a severe gastritis flare-up from stress and bad eating. His explanation of the 'why' and the treatment plan made so much sense. He followed up with a call two days later to see how the meds were working. Felt like he actually cared about fixing the root cause, not just the symptom.
