Patient Experience
Had a persistent stomach issue for weeks. Booked an appointment with Dr. Tiwari at Apollo Lucknow. The wait was a bit long, but the consultation was efficient. He asked clear questions, ordered the right tests, and explained the treatment plan without any fluff. Got the prescription, followed it, and the problem cleared up in a few days. Exactly what I needed.
I was quite nervous about some ongoing fatigue. Dr. Varun Tiwari has a very calm way about him. He listened quietly to everything I said, didn't rush me, and his questions felt thoughtful. He arranged for some blood work and called me himself with the results to explain. It was a simple vitamin deficiency. His gentle approach made a stressful situation much easier.
My annual check-up with Dr. Tiwari was coming up, and I'd been putting off dealing with a nagging knee pain. He spotted I was favouring my leg right away—asked about it. We talked through it, he did a quick examination, and gave me a straightforward referral to a good physio. It's the proactive care I appreciate. He doesn't just address what you say; he pays attention.
Finally got some answers! I'd been to a couple of doctors for these dizzy spells and kept getting different opinions. A friend recommended Dr. Tiwari. He looked at my history, asked really specific questions no one else had, and suggested one specific test. Turns out it was a minor inner ear thing. Simple medication fixed it. I'm just so relieved to have it sorted after months of worry.
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.
I'd been to a couple of doctors for this nagging stomach pain and fatigue. Everyone said it was just stress. Dr. Shivani Grover actually listened, asked a bunch of questions I hadn't been asked before, and ordered some specific tests. Turns out it was a tricky thyroid issue that was messing with everything else. She explained it all on a notepad, drawing little diagrams. I finally felt like someone had found the right puzzle piece.
Had to get a small cyst removed. Honestly, I was more nervous about the hospital experience than the procedure itself. But with Dr. Grover, it was just... straightforward. She told me exactly what would happen, step by step, no sugar-coating. The whole thing was over in what felt like twenty minutes. The scar is tiny now. Sometimes you just want things to be simple, and it was.
The Apollo waiting area was actually calm, which helped. My dad was the patient, and the nurse at the front desk saw he was getting a bit confused with the forms. She came over, helped him fill them out quietly, and got us a glass of water. It's those small things, you know? Dr. Grover's clinic felt organized, not chaotic. Even the parking attendant was polite when I had to circle around a second time.
Look, I don't like hospitals. I get anxious. When I met Dr. Grover, I was probably talking too fast. She just let me finish, didn't look at the clock. Her tone was so calm it sort of forced me to calm down too. She has this way of making a medical explanation sound like a normal conversation. I didn't feel like just a case number in there.
I've been seeing Dr. Gautam for my blood pressure and general health for over eight years now. He remembers my history, asks about my family, and never rushes me. When my sugar levels started creeping up last year, he was the one who caught it early. We just tweaked my diet a bit—no panic, no drama. That's what I value. At Apollo, you see a lot of doctors come and go, but he's been a constant. You don't find that kind of steady, reliable care everywhere.
Had a stubborn skin rash for weeks. Went to Dr. Abhishek Gautam. He looked at it, asked a few clear questions, prescribed a cream. Rash cleared in four days. No fuss. The wait was about 20 minutes, which is fine. Parking at Apollo is always a hassle, but the appointment itself was efficient. Got what I needed.
I was quite worried about these persistent headaches. My daughter insisted I see a doctor. Dr. Gautam has such a calm way about him. He listened quietly to all my fears, even the silly ones, and explained everything in a very gentle manner. He said we'd start with the simplest possibilities first. Just knowing someone was taking it seriously, without making me feel like a burden, took a weight off my shoulders. The clinic was busy, but he made the time feel quiet.
Honestly, I was fed up. Felt tired all the time, and my previous doctor just kept saying it was stress. My friend said to try Dr. Gautam at Apollo. Right away, he ordered a different set of tests and found a significant vitamin D deficiency. It seems so simple now! A few supplements later, and I feel like myself again. I wish I'd gone to him sooner. He actually *looks* for answers instead of just shrugging.
My 8-year-old son developed a high fever that just wouldn't break, and we were so scared. Dr. Shukla at Apollo Lucknow was the first doctor who actually got down on his level, talked to him like a person, and explained everything in a way that calmed him down. He didn't just treat the fever; he figured out it was a tricky ear infection starting. We had to wait a bit in the crowded lobby, but once we were in, he took all the time we needed. My boy left feeling brave, not scared, and that meant the world to me.
When my grandfather was admitted, it was a confusing and scary time for our whole family. Dr. Jayendra Shukla was different. He made a point to find us in the waiting area every single day, even if just for two minutes, to tell us in plain Hindi what was happening and what the plan was. He never talked down to us or used confusing medical terms. He treated my Nana with such gentle respect, and kept us all in the loop, which took a huge weight off our shoulders. We felt like we had a partner, not just a doctor.
Had a bad stomach issue for weeks. Went to Dr. Shukla. He listened, asked straight questions, ordered the right tests. Got a clear diagnosis and a treatment that actually worked. Simple and effective. Parking at Apollo is always a nightmare, but the visit itself was worth it.
I'd been feeling run-down for months—just tired all the time, no energy. My local doctor kept saying it was stress. I finally went to Apollo and saw Dr. Shukla. He spent the first ten minutes just hearing me out, then said, 'Let's be detectives.' He ordered a specific blood test I'd never had before. Turns out, I had a pretty significant vitamin D deficiency. It wasn't some dramatic illness, but it was ruining my quality of life. He put me on a simple supplement plan and checked in with a call two weeks later. I'm back to my old self now. He just... paid attention when others didn't.
