Patient Experience
Needed a quick check-up for a persistent cough. Dr. Subbu was direct, diagnosed it fast, and gave clear instructions. Got the meds, followed them, and was back at work in two days. No fuss, just what I needed.
My 8-year-old son had a high fever that wouldn't break, and we were really scared. Dr. Subbu at Apollo Madurai was so calm with him. He explained everything to us in simple terms, never rushed us, and even showed my son the stethoscope to make him less afraid. He checked in the next day to see how he was doing. We felt truly looked after.
Look, I don't like doctors. But I had this stomach thing going on for weeks. Went to see Dr. Subbu Ramakrishnan. He listened, didn't judge my bad diet, and fixed me up. Parking at the hospital is a nightmare, though.
I'd been feeling run-down for months—just tired all the time. My wife finally made me book an appointment. I was nervous, thinking it might be something serious. Dr. Subbu didn't just brush it off. He asked about everything: my sleep, work stress, even what I ate for lunch. He ordered a few specific tests, which came back showing a pretty bad vitamin deficiency. He called me himself with the results and laid out a simple plan. It wasn't magic, just good, careful detective work. I'm starting to feel like myself again.
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.
I was really nervous going in for my first check-up in years. The whole hospital thing makes me anxious. Dr. Rajavel could probably tell. He didn't rush me, just listened quietly and explained everything in simple terms. He even drew a little diagram on a notepad to show me what he thought was going on. I left feeling much lighter than when I walked in. The parking lot was a mess, but honestly, after the appointment, I didn't even mind.
Had a persistent stomach issue. Went to Apollo Madurai. Saw Dr. M S P S Rajavel. He asked clear questions, ordered the right tests, and gave a straightforward diagnosis. Treatment worked. Follow-up was efficient. Problem solved.
My visit with Dr. Rajavel was very kind. He has a gentle way of speaking that puts you at ease. When I was confused about the medication schedule, he patiently wrote it down for me step-by-step. The clinic was busy, and I did wait a bit, but he gave me his full attention once I was in the room. I'm feeling much better now, and I'm grateful for his care.
Finally got some answers! I'd been dealing with this nagging fatigue for months and my previous doctor just shrugged. Dr. Rajavel actually dug in. He was like, 'Let's figure this out,' and ran a couple of tests I hadn't had before. Bingo—found the issue! Started the new treatment plan last week and I already have more energy. So relieved to be on the right track. The guy knows his stuff!
I'd been to a couple of doctors for this nagging stomach pain and fatigue, and everyone said it was just stress. Dr. Balamurugan was different. He actually sat and listened to everything, even the small stuff I thought was irrelevant. He ordered some specific tests others hadn't, and that's how we found it wasn't just stress—it was a tricky gallbladder issue that was mimicking other problems. 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 about any surgery, even a minor one. Dr. Balamurugan explained the whole thing in plain language, no scary medical jargon. The procedure itself was over before I knew it. The parking lot was packed that morning, which stressed me out more, but once I was in, everything was calm and efficient. Follow-up was a breeze.
The hospital itself is really clean and quiet, which helped a lot. But what stood out was the team. The nurse at the front desk saw I was anxious and got me checked in quickly. The lab technician who took my blood was really gentle and cracked a small joke to lighten the mood. It felt like everyone, from the reception to the nursing staff, was actually working together. It made the whole visit less intimidating.
What I'll remember most is how Dr. Balamurugan talks to you. He doesn't just look at the chart; he looks at you. When he came in, he pulled up a chair instead of standing over me. He asked about my job and how the symptoms were affecting my daily life, not just the clinical details. He's got a very calm, direct way about him that makes you feel like you're in good hands, not just being processed.
I'd been to three other doctors for this nagging abdominal pain, and they all said it was just stress. Dr. Karthik actually listened. He spent a good twenty minutes asking me questions I hadn't been asked before, ordered a specific scan the others hadn't, and found a small but tricky hernia. It wasn't dramatic, but it was real, and he explained it in a way that finally made sense. He just figured it out when no one else really tried.
Had to get a cyst removed from my back. Honestly, I was nervous at first, but the whole thing was so straightforward. Dr. Karthik walked me through each step before he did it, the local anesthetic did its job, and it was over in what felt like ten minutes. The follow-up was quick, too. Sometimes you just need something simple done right, without any fuss, and that's exactly what happened.
The parking at Apollo was a bit of a mess that day, I won't lie. But once I got inside, the difference was clear. The front desk lady saw I was flustered and helped me find my way. The nurse who took my vitals was really kind and cracked a joke to settle my nerves. It felt like the whole team, Dr. Karthik included, was actually working together. That kind of atmosphere makes a huge difference when you're not feeling well.
What I remember most is how Dr. Karthik talked to my elderly mother. She was scared and confused about her new medication. He didn't just speak to me; he pulled his chair up, looked her in the eye, and explained everything slowly, using her own terms. He checked twice that she understood. He treated her with real patience and respect, not just as a patient, but as a person. That meant the world to us.
