Patient Experience
I'd been to a few doctors about this constant fatigue and stomach pain, and everyone just said it was stress. Dr. Priyanka Chauhan at Apollo Lucknow actually listened. She asked questions no one else had, ordered some specific tests, and figured out it was a tricky thyroid issue combined with a food intolerance. She explained it all on a notepad, drawing little diagrams. I finally feel like I have answers, not just a prescription.
Had to get a small cyst removed. Honestly, I was nervous at first, but Dr. Chauhan made it so straightforward. The whole thing at Apollo was over in an hour. She talked me through each step as she was doing it, which really kept me calm. Recovery was exactly as she said it would be—no surprises, just a bit of soreness for a day. It was a relief how simple it was.
The parking at Apollo was a nightmare that day, completely full. By the time I got to the clinic, I was pretty flustered. But the front desk lady was really kind, and the nurse who took my vitals had a warm way about her. The waiting area was clean and quiet, which helped me settle down. When I saw Dr. Chauhan, she was completely focused, not rushed at all, which made the hassle to get there worth it.
What I remember most is how Dr. Chauhan talks to you. I'm an older patient, and sometimes doctors can be a bit short. She sat down, looked me in the eye, and asked about my life, not just my symptoms. When she explained my new blood pressure medication, she did it in a way my granddaughter could understand. She has a genuine calmness that makes you feel you're in good hands.
