Patient Experience
I'd been to a couple of doctors about this constant fatigue and vague stomach ache. They said it was stress. Dr. Sridhar was the first one who actually sat and listened, really pieced together things I didn't even think were connected. He ordered some specific tests others hadn't, and it turned out to be a tricky thyroid issue affecting my gut. He explained it all on a notepad, drew little diagrams. Felt like someone finally saw the whole picture, not just the obvious pieces.
Had to get a small cyst removed from my back. Honestly, I was nervous about the scar and the whole process. Dr. Sridhar made it feel like no big deal. The procedure itself was over in what felt like ten minutes. He talked me through each step, the nurse was great, and I was in and out. The follow-up was simple, and the healing was exactly how he said it would be. Sometimes you just want things to be straightforward, and this was.
The place was busy, I'll say that. Parking took a minute. But once I got inside Apollo, the front desk people knew exactly where to send me. The nurse who took my vitals was really kind, calmed me down when she saw I was anxious. The whole floor was clean and quiet, which helped a lot. It felt organized, not chaotic, even with all the people.
What I remember most is how he talked to my elderly mother. She gets confused easily and was scared. Dr. Sridhar didn't just talk to me; he knelt down so he was at her eye level, spoke slowly, and checked if she understood. He didn't rush her. He has this calm, patient way about him that makes you feel like you're his only patient that day, even though you know he's swamped.
