Dr. Pallavi Patekar

I've been seeing Dr. Pallavi for my diabetes and blood pressure for about eight years now, since she was at her old clinic. When she moved to Apollo, I followed her there. That's the thing—you find a doctor who actually listens, remembers your history, and doesn't just rush you out, you stick with them. The hospital's big and fancy, sure, but it's her consistency I come back for. She's the one constant in my healthcare.

Had my gallbladder out last month. The surgery itself was fine, but those first few days after were rough. Dr. Patekar checked on me every morning, even on the weekend. She didn't just throw painkillers at me; she explained what was normal soreness and what wasn't, and adjusted my meds so I could actually get up and walk around. The follow-up was clear too—knew exactly what to do and what to watch for at home. Made a scary process feel manageable.

Went in for a bad stomach bug that wouldn't quit. Dr. Patekar was straight to the point, asked the right questions, and gave me a clear plan. Got the meds I needed, no fuss. Parking at Apollo is always a nightmare, but the appointment itself was efficient and helpful. Feeling much better now.

I was really nervous. I'd been having these dizzy spells for weeks, and my usual GP had retired. A friend recommended Dr. Patekar at Apollo. From the start, she was different. She spent the first ten minutes just talking, asking about my work stress, my sleep, everything. She ordered tests but also said, 'Let's not assume the worst first.' When the results came back showing it was mostly anxiety and a minor vitamin deficiency, her relief was genuine. She called me herself to explain it all. She turned what felt like a huge, scary problem into something we could actually handle step-by-step.
