Dr. Prachi Sankhe

I'd been to three other doctors about this constant fatigue and weird joint pain. Everyone said it was stress or just getting older. Dr. Sankhe actually listened to the whole, messy story, ordered a specific blood test no one else had thought of, and figured out it was a thyroid issue that was throwing everything off. She explained it in a way that finally made sense. I'm on medication now and feel like myself again.

Had to get a colonoscopy, which honestly scared me. The prep was the worst part, obviously. But the day of, Dr. Sankhe's team at Apollo had it down to a science. The procedure itself was nothing—I was out and then awake before I knew it. Dr. Sankhe popped in after, showed me the pictures (weird, but interesting), and said everything looked clear. Whole thing was way more straightforward than I'd built up in my head.

The Apollo waiting area was actually calm, which helped. I was pretty anxious. What really stood out, though, was the nurse. She saw me looking lost after checking in, came over, and just said, 'First time with us? It's okay, I'll walk you through what happens next.' That small thing made a huge difference. Even the person drawing blood was really good—hardly felt it. The whole place just felt competent and kind.

Look, I'm not great with doctors. I get nervous and clam up. Dr. Sankhe has this way of just... being normal. She sat down, didn't rush me, and asked about my work before diving into the health stuff. When she explained what was going on with my blood pressure, she drew a little diagram on her notepad. It wasn't just 'take these pills.' She talked about small changes I could actually manage. Felt like I was talking to a really smart, caring person, not just a medical authority.
