Patient Experience
I've been seeing Dr. Shah for my blood pressure for about eight years now. He's the first doctor who didn't just throw a prescription at me and send me on my way. He actually explained how the meds work with my body, and we've adjusted things slowly over time. I trust him because he remembers me, my history, and never seems rushed. That consistency is hard to find.
Had my gallbladder out last month. The first few days after surgery were rough, I won't lie. But Dr. Shah's team had a clear plan for the pain meds, and he checked on me himself every morning, even on the weekend. He was straight about what to expect—said the shoulder pain from the gas was normal but to call if it got worse. That honesty made the recovery less scary. I'm back to eating normally now, just more carefully.
Dr. Shah is good. Fixed up a nasty skin infection I had. Got me on the right antibiotics fast. No fuss.
So, I'd been feeling run-down for months—just tired all the time, weird aches. My old doc retired, so I booked with Dr. Shah at Apollo. Parking was a nightmare that day, which put me in a bad mood. But in his office, he just listened. Really listened. He asked about my sleep, my job stress, ordered specific blood tests others hadn't. Turned out my vitamin D was in the basement and my thyroid was sluggish. He called me himself with the results and walked me through the treatment plan. It wasn't a magic fix, but following his advice, I finally feel like myself again. The guy just gets it.
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.
My father was admitted with a high fever and confusion. We were all scared, not knowing what was happening. Dr. Bothara was the one who took the time to explain everything to us in simple terms, step by step. She didn't just talk to the doctors; she looked at me and my mother directly, making sure we understood the treatment plan. The hospital was busy, and we had to wait a bit for some test results, but her clear communication kept our anxiety in check. She treated my dad with such gentle respect.
I brought my wife in for persistent stomach issues. Dr. Neha Bothara was direct and efficient. She listened, asked pointed questions, and ordered the right tests without any fuss. There was no sugar-coating, just clear facts about what we were dealing with and what the next steps were. It was exactly what we needed—no fluff, just a solid plan from a doctor who clearly knew her job. We left feeling we were in capable hands.
Our young son had a bad allergic reaction. In the rush to Apollo, I was a mess. Dr. Bothara had a very calm, soft way about her. She spoke quietly but firmly to the nurses, and then knelt down to my son's level to check on him. To me, she said, 'We're going to sort this out, just breathe.' It wasn't just medical care; it was a moment of human kindness that we really needed. Her quiet confidence was everything that night.
After weeks of my mom feeling run-down and a bunch of confusing reports from other clinics, we saw Dr. Bothara. She pieced it all together so quickly! I practically cheered when she gave us a clear diagnosis. She was so positive, saying, 'Okay, now we know what it is, and it's very manageable.' The relief was huge. She was genuinely enthusiastic about getting my mom on the right treatment, and that energy gave our whole family a real boost.
My son insisted I see a doctor for my persistent cough. I was quite nervous at first, but Dr. Arora put me at ease immediately. He has a very calm manner and explained everything about my condition in simple terms I could understand. The hospital itself is very large, and I did get a bit turned around finding his office, but the staff were helpful. He took his time with me, which I appreciated. I'm feeling much better now following his advice.
Had a recurring stomach issue. Went to Dr. Nitish Arora at Apollo Mumbai. He asked clear questions, ordered the right tests, and gave a straightforward diagnosis. Treatment worked. No fuss. Would recommend.
I was feeling very run down for weeks and was worried it might be something serious. Dr. Arora listened so patiently to all my little concerns. He didn't rush me at all. His advice was gentle but clear, and he made sure I knew what the next steps were. It was just a vitamin deficiency, thankfully. I left feeling heard and cared for, which meant a great deal.
Honestly, I was a wreck before my appointment. I'd been putting off this check-up for ages. Dr. Arora is fantastic! He cracked a joke that made me laugh and just completely defused my anxiety. Went through everything step-by-step, and what I thought was a big problem turned out to be totally manageable. So relieved! The parking situation was a bit of a hassle, but worth it for that kind of care.
My dad was admitted under Dr. Meshram. I live abroad and was really worried. The doctor called me himself after the first check-up, explained everything in simple terms, and gave me his direct number. He didn't just talk to me once; he kept me updated without me having to chase him down. It made a world of difference to our family, knowing someone was actually communicating with us.
Had my gallbladder out with Dr. Meshram at Apollo. Was pretty nervous about the pain afterwards, I won't lie. But his team had a clear plan from the start—what meds, when to move, what to expect each day. The first 48 hours were rough, but they managed it well and I knew what was coming. I'm three weeks out now and feeling more like myself every day, following the recovery sheet they gave me.
Saw Dr. Meshram for a stubborn stomach issue. He's direct, no-nonsense, which I actually liked. Listened, asked pointed questions, ordered the right tests. Explained my options clearly, no sugar-coating. Fixed me up. Good doctor.
I'd been putting off seeing anyone about this abdominal pain for months. Finally booked with Dr. Meshram. The Apollo waiting area was busy, I had to wait a bit past my slot, which I expected. When I got in, he had this calm way about him. He didn't just glance at my file; he asked about my job, my stress levels, my diet—things I didn't think were related. He connected dots I didn't see. The treatment wasn't just a pill; it was a plan. I remember him drawing a simple diagram on a notepad to show me what he thought was going on. It wasn't a miracle cure overnight, but following his advice, the constant ache I'd lived with is now just an occasional twinge. He treated the cause, not just the symptom.
