Patient Experience
My dad was admitted to Apollo Madurai last month. I was really scared, living in another city. Dr. Ramachandran called me himself every single evening to explain everything in simple terms—what the tests showed, what the plan was. He never made me feel like I was bothering him, even with my 100 questions. It made a terrible situation so much easier for our whole family.
I've been seeing Dr. Ramachandran for my blood pressure and general health for over eight years now. What I appreciate most is that he remembers me, my history, and what we've tried before. He doesn't just look at the chart; he looks at *me*. That consistency is hard to find. I trust his judgment completely because he's never rushed and always explains the 'why' behind any change in medication.
Had a bad stomach issue that wouldn't go away. Saw Dr. Ramachandran at Apollo. He was straight to the point, ordered the right tests, fixed me up. No fuss. Parking at the hospital was a nightmare, though.
I went in for what I thought was just persistent heartburn. Dr. Ramachandran listened, but something in how I described it made him pause. He asked a few more specific questions about the pain pattern. He said, 'Let's not assume it's the stomach just yet,' and suggested a cardiac workup alongside the GI tests. Turns out, it was a minor cardiac issue beginning. I was nervous at first, thinking he was over-testing, but that extra bit of attention and his storytelling approach—connecting my symptoms to possibilities—might have caught something serious early. The clinic was running late that day, but the time he spent figuring it out was worth the wait.
