Dr. Shailendra Kumar Gupta

I'd been to three other doctors with this weird mix of fatigue and joint pain, everyone just said it was stress. Dr. Gupta actually listened to the whole history, asked about a rash I had years ago. He ordered a specific blood test no one else had. Turns out it was something called sarcoidosis. He explained it in a way that finally made sense, and we started treatment that actually works. Felt like someone finally put the puzzle together.

Had to get a cyst removed from my back. Honestly, I was nervous at first, but Dr. Gupta made it sound so straightforward. The whole thing at Apollo was quick – in and out in a few hours. The procedure itself was fine, barely felt a thing. He checked in the next day himself, which I wasn't expecting. It healed up perfectly, no fuss. Sometimes simple things going right is a huge relief.

Look, the parking at Apollo is always a bit of a hunt, I won't lie. But once you're inside, it's calm. What really stood out was the team. The lady at the front desk helped me find my file when I'd forgotten my reference number, and the nurse who took my vitals was really kind, cracked a joke when she saw I was anxious. It made waiting to see Dr. Gupta much easier. The place just runs smoothly.

My kid was scared of doctors, would clam up completely. Dr. Gupta didn't push. He just talked to me first, then slowly showed my son the stethoscope, let him listen to his own heartbeat. Spent a good ten minutes just building that little bit of trust before the actual check-up. Didn't rush us at all. That patience meant everything. My son didn't cry once, which is a first.
