Dr. Priyanka Patil

I'd been feeling run down for months, and a couple of other doctors just said it was stress. Dr. Priyanka Patil at Apollo Nashik actually listened. She asked a ton of questions I hadn't been asked before and ordered some specific tests. Turned out it was a thyroid issue that wasn't showing up on standard panels. She explained it all on a notepad, drawing little diagrams. I'm on medication now and finally feel like myself. She didn't give up when the easy answers weren't there.

Had to get a small cyst removed. Honestly, I was nervous at first, but Dr. Patil made it so straightforward. The whole thing at Apollo was quick – in and out in a few hours. She told me exactly what she was going to do, step by step, which helped a lot. The scar is tiny, and the follow-up was just a quick phone call to check in. Sometimes simple things are done well, and that matters.

Parking at the hospital was a nightmare that day, I won't lie. But once I got inside, the front desk people were really patient. The nurse who took my vitals, Anjali I think, was chatting with me about the rain to distract me. The place felt calm, not chaotic. It made waiting for my appointment with Dr. Patil less stressful. A good team makes a difference.

What stuck with me about Dr. Patil is how she talks to you. She doesn't rush. I had a million worries about some test results, and she sat there, let me get them all out, and answered each one without any medical jargon. She has this calm way about her that makes you feel like you're the only patient she has that day. You don't feel like a number.
