Dr. Saravanan R

I'd been to a couple of doctors for this nagging stomach pain, and everyone said it was just acidity. Dr. Saravanan was different. He actually sat and listened to my whole history, asked about things I thought were unrelated, like my sleep and energy levels. He ordered some specific tests the others hadn't. Turned out it was a tricky gallbladder issue that wasn't showing up in the usual scans. He explained it all with a diagram on his notepad. I felt heard for the first time, and we finally had a real answer.

Had to get a small cyst removed from my back. Honestly, I was nervous at first, but Dr. Saravanan made it feel like no big deal. The whole thing at Apollo was very straightforward. He talked me through each step before he did it, the local anesthetic worked perfectly, and it was over in what felt like ten minutes. The follow-up was just a quick check of the stitches. It healed cleanly, no fuss. Sometimes simple things just go right.

Parking at the hospital was a bit of a hassle that morning, I won't lie. But once I got inside, the whole experience changed. The front desk people found my file quickly even though I'd forgotten my appointment card. The nurse who took my vitals was really kind and chatted with me to settle my nerves. The place itself felt calm and clean, which helped a lot. By the time I saw Dr. Saravanan, I was already feeling more at ease.

What I remember most is how he talks to you. I'm an older patient, and sometimes doctors rush. Dr. Saravanan doesn't. He pulls his chair up, looks you in the eye, and explains things in plain Tamil without any complicated jargon. When I was worried about a new medication, he didn't dismiss it; he took the time to tell me why it was needed and what to watch for. It's that personal touch, that feeling he actually cares about you as a person, that makes all the difference.
