Patient Experience
As someone who manages a team and can't afford downtime, I needed a doctor who gets to the point. Had a persistent stomach issue. Saw Dr. Lokhande. She was direct, ordered the right tests quickly, and her treatment plan worked. Efficient, clear, no nonsense. Exactly what I needed.
Look, I hate going to the doctor. But I'd been feeling run down for weeks. Friend recommended Dr. Vaishali. She's good. Listened, didn't make me feel stupid for waiting, figured it was a vitamin deficiency. Simple fix. Parking at Apollo is a nightmare, but she was worth it.
It started with just feeling tired all the time, but over a few months, I had this weird combination of aches and brain fog. I saw two other doctors who just gave me generic advice. At Apollo, Dr. Lokhande was different. She spent the first appointment just asking questions, tracing back my symptoms over the last year. She remembered small details I'd mentioned when I came back for follow-up. She ordered a specific test the others hadn't—turns out it was a thyroid issue that was just beginning. She explained the results with a diagram on her notepad. I'm on medication now and finally feel like myself again. It wasn't a miracle cure, but having someone actually piece the puzzle together made all the difference.
My 8-year-old son had been complaining of stomach aches for weeks. We saw a couple of doctors, but nothing seemed to help. I was so worried, imagining the worst. Dr. Jyoti Bajpai at Apollo Mumbai was different. She didn't just talk to me; she got down on my son's level, asked him to draw where it hurt, and really listened. She explained everything in a way that calmed both of us down. The tests she ordered were simple, and her diagnosis made sense. It wasn't anything scary, just something we needed to manage. Seeing my boy smile again, that's because of her care. She has a real gift with children.
Had a persistent fever and fatigue. Went to Apollo Mumbai. Saw Dr. Jyoti Bajpai. She was direct, asked clear questions, ordered the right tests. Explained the cause (a bacterial infection) and the treatment plan without any fluff. The medication worked. Follow-up was efficient. Good doctor. Would recommend.
I was quite nervous about my check-up, as I'd been putting it off. The hospital is big and finding the department took a minute, but the staff pointed me the right way. Dr. Bajpai has such a gentle manner. She took her time, asked about my lifestyle, not just my symptoms. She didn't make me feel rushed at all. Her advice was practical and kind. I left feeling heard and much more at ease about my health. A very thoughtful doctor.
Honestly, I was a mess before my appointment. I'd convinced myself my constant headaches were something serious. Dr. Bajpai was fantastic! She listened to all my (probably silly) worries, did a thorough exam, and just had this really calm, confident way about her. Turns out it was mostly stress and posture-related. She gave me some simple exercises and tips. The relief was huge! I'm so glad I went to see her. She's the kind of doctor you want in your corner.
My stomach issues had been going on for months, and a couple of other doctors just said it was stress. Dr. Misra actually listened to the whole timeline, asked a bunch of questions I hadn't been asked before, and ordered a specific test the others hadn't. Turns out it was a tricky parasite, not stress at all. He explained the whole thing with a diagram on his notepad. I'm finally feeling like myself again.
I needed a minor cyst removed, and honestly, I was pretty nervous about the whole thing. The procedure itself at Apollo was quick—in and out in a morning. Dr. Misra talked me through each step as he was doing it, which kept me calm. The recovery was exactly as he said it would be; no surprises. It was a relief to have something so straightforward handled so well.
The parking situation at Apollo was a nightmare that day, I won't lie. But once I got inside for my appointment with Dr. Misra, the difference was clear. The front desk staff found my file quickly even though I was flustered, and the nurse who took my vitals was really kind. The whole place felt calm and clean, which helped settle my nerves before I even saw the doctor.
What stuck with me after my consultation was how present Dr. Misra was. He wasn't just looking at his screen; he was looking at me. When I got confused about the treatment plan, he didn't just repeat himself—he found a different way to explain it until it clicked. He has a quiet, patient way about him that makes you feel like you're his only patient that day.
I'd been to three different doctors for this nagging fatigue and joint pain, and everyone just said it was stress. Dr. Himani Sharma actually listened. She asked questions no one else had, ran some specific tests, and figured out it was a tricky autoimmune thing. She explained it all in a way that finally made sense. Starting treatment at Apollo Mumbai was a huge relief after feeling lost for so long.
Had to get a cyst removed—nothing major, but I was pretty nervous. Dr. Sharma made the whole thing feel normal. The procedure itself was quick, and she talked me through each step. I was in and out of the hospital in a few hours. The scar is healing really cleanly, just like she said it would. It was just a straightforward, good experience.
Look, the parking at Apollo is always a bit of a hunt, I won't lie. But once I got inside for my appointment with Dr. Sharma, everything was calm. The front desk people were patient, and the nurse who took my vitals had a nice way about her. The place just feels organized, which helps when you're not feeling great.
What I remember most is how Dr. Sharma sat down with me after my diagnosis. She didn't rush. She asked if I understood everything and even drew a little diagram on a notepad. There was no pretending it was simple, but she had this calm, direct way of talking that made me feel like I could handle it. That meant a lot.
Had my gallbladder out last month. The first few days were rough, I won't lie. Dr. Deshpande's team had a clear plan for the pain meds, and she checked in herself to adjust things. It wasn't just pills; she explained how to move and when to push a little. Felt managed, not just medicated. Back to making my own chai now, slowly.
Appendicitis. Went to Apollo. Dr. Priya Deshpande did the surgery. Efficient. Explained the procedure, risks, recovery timeline. No fluff. Follow-up was on schedule. Incision healed clean. Got the job done.
I was quite nervous about the hernia operation. Dr. Deshpande has a very calm way about her. She listened to all my worries and never made me feel rushed. The hospital was busy, but her manner made everything feel quieter. My recovery has been smooth, and for that, I am very grateful.
After years of putting it off, I finally got my knee sorted! Dr. Deshpande is fantastic. The difference is night and day. The physio plan she set up actually works – I'm walking without that awful wince. So glad I went through with it. Really, really good 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.
