Patient Experience
My dad was admitted to Apollo Mysore last month, and we were all pretty scared. Dr. Vanitha was the one who actually talked to us like people, not just a chart. She called me directly after her evening rounds to explain what the next steps were, in a way I could understand. It made a huge difference when you're sitting in that waiting room feeling helpless.
I've been seeing Dr. Vanitha for my blood pressure and general health for almost eight years now. What I appreciate is that she remembers me, remembers my history without having to dig through the file for five minutes first. She's straightforward about what I need to do, and I trust her advice because it's always been consistent. She's my doctor, simple as that.
Saw Dr. Vanitha for a bad flu that wouldn't quit. Got an appointment same-day, which was a relief. She was quick, asked the right questions, didn't waste time. Prescription worked. Parking at Apollo was a nightmare, but the visit itself was fine.
I went in for what I thought was just persistent heartburn. Dr. Vanitha listened, but then asked a bunch of other questions about things I wouldn't have connected—like the tiredness I'd blamed on work. She suggested a few basic tests just to rule stuff out. Honestly, I was a bit annoyed at first, thinking it was overkill. But one of those tests caught a minor thyroid issue early. She called with the results herself and laid out a simple plan. That bit of extra attention probably saved me from a bigger problem down the line.
