Patient Experience
I've been seeing Dr. Santosh Kumar for my blood pressure for almost eight years now. He's the only doctor I trust because he remembers everything—what worked last time, what didn't, even my family history. He doesn't just throw new pills at you. The clinic at Apollo can get busy, but he always makes time to actually listen. That's rare.
At my age, visiting the doctor can be a source of anxiety. Dr. Kumar has a very calming way about him. He explains things in simple terms without making one feel foolish. He took great care with my arthritis, and I never felt rushed. I would recommend him to any of my friends.
Had a nasty stomach bug. Went to Apollo, got Dr. Kumar. He was straight to the point, asked the right questions, gave me a clear plan. Fixed me up in a couple days. No fuss, good doctor.
So I'd been feeling run down for weeks, just off. My wife finally made me go. The waiting area was packed, which didn't help my mood. Dr. Kumar called me in, and the first thing he did was notice I looked more tired than my chart suggested. He spent a good 15 minutes just asking about my work stress and sleep, things my last doctor brushed off. He connected the dots between my headaches, low energy, and diet, suggesting some simple blood tests and changes before anything drastic. It wasn't a magic fix, but following his advice actually made a difference. He listened when others hadn't.
