Patient Experience
I've been seeing Dr. Akkammal for my blood pressure and general health for nearly eight years now. She remembers the details—what worked last time, what didn't—and never rushes me. The clinic at Apollo Madurai can get busy, but she always makes time to listen. That kind of consistency is hard to find. I trust her completely with my health.
My 7-year-old son had a high fever that wouldn't break, and we were really scared. Dr. Akkammal was so calm with him, explaining everything in a way he could understand. She didn't just treat the fever; she checked him over thoroughly and talked us through every step. We left feeling like we knew what to watch for and that he was in good hands. She has a real way with kids.
Had a stubborn skin rash. Went to Dr. Akkammal at Apollo. She figured it out fast, gave me a simple cream. It cleared up in a week. No fuss, got straight to the point. Would go back.
I went in for what I thought was just bad heartburn. Dr. Akkammal listened, then asked a bunch of questions I hadn't even considered—about my sleep, stress at work, the whole picture. She had me do a few tests just to be safe. Turns out, it was linked to anxiety, not just my stomach. She explained the connection without making me feel silly for worrying. The parking lot was packed that day, so I was a bit frazzled when I arrived, but she just had this quiet, steady way of getting to the root of it. I'm on a better path now because she looked past the obvious symptom.
I'd been to a couple of doctors for this nagging stomach pain and fatigue, and everyone said it was just stress. Dr. Suresh was the first one who actually looked skeptical at that. He ordered some specific tests I hadn't had before. Turns out it was a tricky gallbladder issue that wasn't showing up on the standard scans. He explained it in a way that finally made sense, without making me feel silly for not figuring it out sooner. That extra bit of digging made all the difference.
Had to get a small cyst removed from my back. Honestly, I was more worried about the paperwork and the wait than the actual thing. But from check-in to discharge at Apollo Madurai, it was just... straightforward. Dr. Suresh did the procedure quickly, told me exactly what he was doing as he went, and the scar is barely there now. It felt very routine for them, which was exactly what I needed it to be.
The hospital itself is a bit overwhelming, I won't lie. Parking was a hunt. But once I got inside for my appointment with Dr. Suresh, the front desk people were really patient with me. One of the nurses in his section saw I was looking lost and walked me to the right room. It's those small things when you're anxious that stick with you. The place runs smoothly because the staff seem to actually care about helping.
What I liked most about Dr. Suresh is that he doesn't rush you. He sits down, looks at you, and listens. I had a million questions about my dad's treatment plan, and he answered every single one without glancing at the clock. He's got a calm way about him that just makes you feel like you're in good hands. You can tell he's thinking about you as a person, not just the next case.
Had my gallbladder out at Apollo Madurai. The first couple days after were rough, I won't lie. But Dr. Arun Prasath checked on me every morning and really listened when I said the pain was bad. He adjusted my meds a few times until we got it right. The nurses showed my husband how to help me move around at home. It's been three weeks now and I'm finally feeling like myself again. The follow-up call from his office was a nice touch.
Appendicitis. Went to Apollo. Dr. Arun Prasath did the surgery. Quick, explained what was needed. No problems. Staff was efficient. Recovered fine.
I was quite nervous about needing an operation. Dr. Arun Prasath has a very calm way about him. He took the time to draw a little diagram for me on his notepad, which made things much clearer. After the procedure, he was very gentle when checking the incision site. The whole experience, even with the usual hospital waits, felt cared for.
Wow, what a difference! I'd been putting off this hernia repair for ages, just dreading it. From the first consult, Dr. Arun Prasath was so straightforward and confident. Surgery was smooth, and the relief was almost immediate once the anesthesia wore off. I'm back to lifting my toddler without that constant worry. The team at Apollo was great, but he's the one who fixed me. So glad I finally went!
I was so scared going in for my first ever check-up as an adult. My hands were literally shaking in the waiting room. Dr. Balumahendra just had this calm way about him. He explained everything in simple terms, didn't rush me, and by the end I felt silly for being so nervous. The whole team at Apollo Madurai was nice about it too.
Our 8-year-old, Rohan, had a high fever that wouldn't break for days. We were panicking. Dr. Balumahendra saw him right away. He sat on the edge of the bed and talked to Rohan, not just to us, which made our son relax. He explained the treatment plan to us step-by-step, answered all our frantic questions, and called the next morning to check in. Seeing Rohan smile again was everything.
Had a stubborn stomach issue. Saw Dr. Balumahendra K at Apollo Madurai. He was direct, figured it out fast, gave clear instructions. Fixed the problem. Good doctor.
Okay, so this weird pain in my side had been coming and going for weeks. I finally booked an appointment, but the parking at Apollo was a nightmare that day—had to circle twice. By the time I got to Dr. Balumahendra's clinic, I was flustered. He noticed right off and just said, 'Let's forget about the parking and talk about this pain.' He listened to my whole rambling story, asked really specific questions I hadn't even thought of, and ordered just one scan instead of a bunch. Turns out it was a minor thing, easily treated. The relief wasn't just from the diagnosis, but from feeling actually heard for the full twenty minutes.
I've been seeing Dr. John Robert for my blood pressure and general health for about eight years now, since he was at his old clinic. Followed him to Apollo. That's the thing—you don't stick with a doctor that long unless you really trust them. He remembers my history, never rushes me, and his advice is always steady. Even when my sugar levels acted up last year, he adjusted things calmly without making it a big drama. That consistency means everything.
Had my gallbladder out last month. The first couple days after were rough, I won't lie. But Dr. John Robert and his team had a clear plan for the pain. He explained exactly what to expect with the recovery, which meds to take and when, and what pain level was 'normal' versus when to call. It wasn't just 'take these pills.' He checked on me post-op himself, not just the junior docs. Felt managed, not just processed.
Needed a general check-up. Got an appointment with Dr. John Robert A. at Apollo. He was straightforward, listened, gave clear advice. No fluff. Parking was a hassle, but the visit itself was fine. Would see him again.
My whole thing started with this nagging tiredness that just wouldn't quit. I almost didn't go, figured I was just working too much. The clinic was busy, I waited a bit past my slot flipping through a old magazine. When I finally got in, Dr. John Robert didn't just brush it off. He asked a ton of questions—about my sleep, my diet, even my stress at work. Ordered the right tests, found my iron was practically nonexistent. The follow-up call to explain the results was him, not an assistant. He laid out a simple plan: supplements, diet tweaks, a check-in in two months. It wasn't some miracle cure, just sensible, attentive care that actually fixed the problem. I feel like myself again.
