Patient Experience
My hands were actually shaking in the waiting room. First time at a big hospital like Apollo for a stomach issue that wouldn't go away. Dr. Diwakar Shankar saw how nervous I was right away. He didn't rush. He explained everything in simple words, even drew a little diagram on his notepad about what might be happening. I had a lot of questions, some probably silly, but he answered them all. By the time I left, I felt like I could breathe again. He just has a very calm way about him.
Needed a general check-up. Booked with Dr. Diwakar Shankar at Apollo Lucknow. Appointment was on time. He listened, asked clear questions, ordered the necessary tests. Explained the results without extra detail. Prescribed medication, told me what to watch for. Follow-up was efficient. Got the problem sorted. Good experience.
I was quite worried about my father's persistent cough. We met Dr. Shankar. He has a very gentle manner of speaking. He examined my father thoroughly and took the time to hear all our concerns. His advice was clear and kind. He even called the next day to ask how my father was feeling after starting the medicine. That meant a great deal to us. We are very grateful for his care.
What a relief! I'd been to two other doctors about this nagging fatigue and just got shrugs. Dr. Diwakar Shankar actually dug in. He asked about my sleep, my diet, things no one else did. Found a vitamin deficiency that explained everything! The parking lot was packed that day, but honestly, it was worth the hassle. He's sharp, he listens, and he figures it out. So glad I went to see him.
