Patient Experience
Had my gallbladder out last month. Recovery was rough, I won't lie. The first few days were tough, but Dr. Raza's team had a clear plan for the pain. He checked on me every day, adjusted my meds so I could actually rest and start moving. It wasn't magic, but it was managed. I'm just glad to be past the worst of it and getting back to normal.
Appendicitis. Went to Apollo Lucknow. Dr. Wasif Raza did the surgery. Everything went fine. Staff was good. I'm home now. Feeling better.
I was so nervous before my hernia operation. Dr. Raza has a very calm way about him; he explained everything simply and listened to all my worries. The hospital was busy, I waited a bit for my discharge papers, but his care was very kind. I felt looked after, not just processed. I'm healing well, and that peace of mind meant a lot.
After years of putting it off, I finally got my knee sorted at Apollo. Dr. Raza! What a difference. The man knows his stuff. The pain is gone, I'm walking straight again—it's like I got a new leg! The whole experience, from consult to follow-up, was solid. So relieved I went through with it.
My dad was admitted at Apollo Lucknow last month, and honestly, we were all pretty scared. Dr. Utkarsh Srivastava was the one who actually took the time to pull us aside in the hallway and explain everything in simple words—what the scans showed, what the next steps were, and what we could realistically expect. He didn't sugarcoat it, but he also didn't make it sound hopeless. That conversation in the hallway, with him just being straight with us, is what got our family through the worst of it. We knew someone was really looking out for him.
I've been seeing Dr. Srivastava for my blood pressure and general health for about eight years now, ever since I moved to Lucknow. What I appreciate is that he remembers me. He remembers my job, my last vacation, and what we talked about trying last time. It's not just a fresh prescription pad every visit. He'll look at my old notes, see the trends, and adjust things slowly. Over time, that builds a real trust. You don't feel like just another file. At Apollo, doctors come and go, but he's been a constant for me.
Needed a check-up, went to Apollo. Got Dr. Utkarsh Srivastava. He was good. Listened to my issues, asked clear questions, didn't rush. Explained the meds properly. Parking was a nightmare that day, but the appointment itself was fine. Would see him again.
It started with this weird fatigue that just wouldn't quit. I went to a local clinic first, got some vitamins, and nothing changed. By the time I booked with Dr. Srivastava at Apollo, I was convinced it was something serious. The waiting area was packed, and I was nervous, scrolling on my phone to distract myself. When I got in, he had this calm way about him. He went through my history point by point, asked about my sleep, my diet, work stress—things the other guy hadn't. He ordered specific tests based on that chat, not just a standard panel. Turns out it was a thyroid thing, way simpler than I'd imagined. The whole process, from his questioning to the follow-up call with the results, just felt thorough. He connected the dots I didn't even know were there.
My mother was admitted with a high fever and confusion. We were all scared. Dr. Ved Bhaskar sat with us in the waiting area, explained everything in simple Hindi about what tests were needed and why. He didn't rush us. He called my brother directly with updates when I couldn't be there. It turned out to be a severe infection, but because he was so clear and kept us in the loop, we felt we could handle it. Mom's home now, doing much better.
Took my son in. He had stomach pain for days. Dr. Bhaskar was direct. Listened, examined him, said it was likely gastritis but ordered a scan to rule out anything else. No sugar-coating, which I appreciate. Told us exactly what the medication would do and what foods to avoid. Parking was a hassle that day, but the appointment itself was efficient. My boy is fine now. Good doctor.
My husband was very anxious about some persistent chest discomfort. Dr. Bhaskar has a very calm way about him. He spoke softly, never raised his voice, and listened more than he talked. He explained that while it was probably muscular, we should check his heart properly for peace of mind. That gentle reassurance meant the world to us. The tests came back clear, and my husband's worry has eased significantly.
After weeks of feeling run-down and different doctors giving different opinions, I saw Dr. Bhaskar. He actually put all the pieces together from my old reports! He figured out it was a vitamin deficiency and a minor thyroid issue. I was so relieved to finally have an answer that made sense. He drew me a little diagram on his notepad to show how the two things were connected. Started treatment, and I feel like myself again. What a weight off.
I'd been to a couple of doctors about this nagging fatigue and stomach thing. Everyone said it was stress. Dr. Agarwal was the first one who actually listened to my whole, messy story. He ordered a specific test the others hadn't, and it turned out to be something pretty uncommon. He explained it all with a diagram on his notepad—no fancy jargon. I finally had an answer, and a plan.
Had to get a small cyst removed. Honestly, I was nervous at first, but Dr. Agarwal made it feel like no big deal. The whole thing was over in what felt like ten minutes. He talked me through each step, the nurse was great, and I was back home by lunch. Sometimes simple things going right is all you need.
The parking at Apollo was a nightmare that day, completely full. I was flustered by the time I got to the clinic. But the lady at the front desk was so calm and got me sorted, and the nurse who took my vitals had a really kind way about her. The place just felt efficient, not cold. It made a long wait much easier to handle.
What stuck with me was how Dr. Agarwal talks to you. He doesn't just look at the file; he looks at you. When I was worried about a side effect, he didn't dismiss it. He leaned back in his chair, thought for a second, and laid out my options clearly. Felt like I was talking to a really smart, straightforward friend who also happens to be a doctor.
I'd been to a few doctors about this constant fatigue and stomach pain, and everyone just said it was stress. Dr. Asna Zeqvi actually listened. She asked questions no one else had, ordered some specific tests, and figured out it was a tricky autoimmune thing. It wasn't a quick fix, but having a real answer changed everything. She's at Apollo Lucknow, and she really digs for the root cause.
Had to get a small cyst removed. Honestly, I was pretty nervous about the whole thing. But Dr. Naqvi made it simple. She explained each step right before she did it, which kept me calm. The procedure itself was over in what felt like minutes. Sore for a day or two, but it healed cleanly. Sometimes a straightforward job done well is all you need.
The waiting area at Apollo was packed, I won't lie. But once I got in, her nurse, Rohan, was fantastic. He could tell I was anxious and just chatted with me about normal stuff while taking my vitals. It made a huge difference. The whole team there, from the front desk to Dr. Naqvi herself, just worked together smoothly. It felt organized, not chaotic.
What stuck with me most was how Dr. Asna Zehra Naqvi talks to you. She doesn't rush. She sat down, looked at me, not her computer, and just asked, 'So, tell me what's been happening.' She has this calm way about her that makes you feel like you're the only patient she has that day. You leave feeling heard, not just processed.
