Patient Experience
My father was admitted under Dr. Harikrishnan. Honestly, we were all scared and had a million questions. The doctor was the only one who took the time to actually sit with us in the waiting area and explain everything in simple Tamil. He didn't just talk at us, he listened. He gave us his direct number and told us to call anytime, day or night, if we were worried. That meant more than any medicine.
I'd been putting off seeing a doctor for weeks because I get so anxious. My first appointment with Dr. Harikrishnan at Apollo Madurai, I was practically shaking. He just had this calm way about him. He didn't rush me at all, let me get all my jumbled worries out, and then said, 'Okay, let's take this one step at a time.' He explained what he was checking and why. Walked out feeling like a weight was lifted, honestly.
Saw Dr. Harikrishnan for a persistent cough. Parking at Apollo was a nightmare, but the appointment itself was fine. He's direct, no fluff. Asked the right questions, checked what needed checking, gave clear instructions. Fixed me up. What more do you want?
It started with just feeling run-down all the time. I went to Dr. Harikrishnan, expecting the usual five-minute consult. Instead, he spent nearly half an hour just talking through my routine, work stress, everything. He remembered a small detail I'd mentioned about my sleep and connected it. Ordered some tests, sure, but his approach was different—he was piecing together a story, not just treating a symptom. The follow-up call to discuss the results was thorough, and his plan actually made sense for my life. Felt like he saw me as a whole person, not just a chart.
