Dr. Vandana A Gawdi

Just got home from my gallbladder surgery at Apollo. Dr. Gawdi was really clear about what to expect pain-wise afterward. She didn't just hand me pills and send me off—she explained how to move, when to rest, and what was normal. The first couple days were rough, but following her plan made it manageable. I'm actually healing faster than I thought I would.

My dad was admitted with a bad infection, and we were all really scared. Dr. Gawdi was the one who actually took the time to talk to us, not just the patient. She called me directly after her rounds to give updates in plain language, not medical jargon. When we had questions, she listened. It made a stressful situation feel less chaotic because we knew what was happening.

Saw Dr. Gawdi for a persistent stomach issue. She's direct, no sugar-coating, which I appreciate. Listened, asked good questions, ordered the right tests. Got a clear diagnosis and a treatment plan that worked. Parking at Apollo was a nightmare, but the appointment itself was efficient and helpful.

I'd been feeling run-down for months, just off. My usual doctor retired, so I booked with Dr. Gawdi at Apollo as a new patient. I was nervous she'd dismiss it as stress. Instead, she went through my history like a detective, asking about things I hadn't thought were related—my sleep, some minor joint aches. She ordered a specific blood panel others hadn't. Turns out, it was a vitamin deficiency that was easily fixed. It wasn't some dramatic illness, but she figured out the puzzle when others didn't even try. That kind of attention makes all the difference.
