Dr. Shankar Prasad

My hands were shaking in the waiting room. It was my first time seeing a doctor for this stomach issue, and I was convinced it was something awful. Dr. Shankar Prasad walked in, and he just had this calm way about him. He listened to my jumbled explanation, didn't rush me, and actually smiled. He said, 'Let's not assume the worst. We'll figure this out step by step.' That sentence alone made me breathe easier. The tests he ordered were straightforward, and his explanation of what might be going on was clear. I left feeling like a weight was lifted, not because I had an instant cure, but because I finally felt someone was listening and guiding me.

Had a persistent cough for three weeks. Went to Apollo Mysore. Saw Dr. Shankar Prasad. He asked specific questions, checked my vitals, listened to my chest. Ordered an X-ray to rule out infection. Diagnosis was post-viral bronchitis. Prescribed a simple inhaler and rest. Cough cleared in a few days. Efficient, clear, no-nonsense approach. Got the job done.

I was quite worried about my father's dizzy spells. Dr. Prasad saw us at Apollo. He has a very gentle manner of speaking. He examined my father so patiently, asking him about his diet and daily routine. He explained everything to us in such a simple way, what each test was for, and made sure we understood before we left the room. He didn't make us feel like we were asking silly questions. It was a very kind experience during a stressful time. We are grateful for his care.

What a relief! I'd been to two other places for this knee pain and just got painkillers. Dr. Prasad actually took the time to poke and prod, had me walk around, and figured out it was a tendon issue, not the joint itself. He showed me on a model what was happening! Gave me some exercises to do instead of just another prescription. It's been a month, and the difference is night and day. Finally, someone who looked for the cause, not just the symptom. So glad I went to see him!
