Patient Experience
Had a persistent stomach issue for weeks. Dr. Paode saw me at Apollo Mumbai, cut through the noise, ordered the right tests, and had a clear treatment plan in one visit. Back to work without missing a beat. Exactly what I needed.
My 8-year-old son had a high fever that wouldn't break, and I was terrified. Dr. Vikram was so calm with him, explained everything in a way my son understood, and even called the next day to check in. The clinic was busy and we waited a bit, but he made us feel like we were his only patients. My boy is back to his usual self, and I can finally sleep at night.
Look, I don't like doctors. But I felt rough for a month. Friend said try Dr. Paode at Apollo. He was straight with me—told me to cut back on some things, gave me meds that worked. No fancy talk, just fixed it. Parking at the hospital is always a nightmare, though.
I went in for what I thought was just bad heartburn. Dr. Paode listened to me list off my symptoms, asked a few more questions I hadn't even considered, and his face got serious. He said, 'This isn't your stomach, I'm concerned about your heart.' He sent me for an ECG right there. Turns out, it was a minor arrhythmia. He caught it because he actually listened. The whole thing was scary, but he walked me through each step, what the readings meant, and a plan to manage it. Probably saved me from a bigger problem down the line.
