Patient Experience
My dad was admitted under Dr. Dhongade at Apollo Nashik. The waiting was tough, but what stood out was how Dr. Dhongade kept us in the loop. He didn't just talk to my dad; he'd step out, find us in the waiting area, and explain things in simple terms. He made a scary time feel manageable, and for that, our whole family is so grateful.
I was really nervous going in—first time seeing a doctor for stomach issues in years. Dr. Dhongade just had this calm way about him. He listened to all my worries, didn't rush me, and explained what he thought was going on in a way that actually made sense. Left feeling a lot lighter than when I walked in.
Saw Dr. Dhongade for a persistent cough. Got straight to the point, asked the right questions, and sorted out a treatment plan. No fuss, no unnecessary drama. Parking at Apollo was a nightmare, but the appointment itself was efficient and helpful.
It started with just feeling run-down for weeks. By the time I booked with Dr. Dhongade, I was pretty worried. He spent a good amount of time going through everything—my history, my habits, all of it. He ordered a couple of tests to rule things out, and when the results came back clear, he didn't just dismiss me. He sat me down, talked about stress and lifestyle, and gave me a practical plan to get my energy back. It wasn't a magic fix, but having a doctor who actually dug into the 'why' made all the difference.
