Patient Experience
My 8-year-old son, Rohan, had been complaining of stomach pains for weeks. We were so worried. The waiting area at Apollo was busy, but when we finally saw Dr. Haritha, she was so calm. She didn't just talk to me; she got down to Rohan's level and asked him to point to where it hurt. She explained everything in a way he could understand, calling his appendix a 'little pouch that got grumpy.' She made him laugh, and that made me feel so much better. The surgery went smoothly, and her checking on him twice the next day, even just to ask about his cartoons, meant the world. She treated my child like a person, not just a patient.
Severe abdominal pain. Went to Apollo Nellore's emergency. Saw Dr. Haritha C. She ordered a scan quickly, confirmed appendicitis. Explained the laparoscopic procedure clearly—benefits, risks, recovery time. Surgery was that evening. Efficient. Staff was competent. Follow-up instructions were direct. Pain managed well. Back to work in two weeks. No complications. Good experience.
I was quite nervous about my gallbladder operation. I'd never had surgery before. Dr. Haritha has a very gentle way of speaking; it's very reassuring. She took time to answer all my questions, even the silly ones I thought of later. The hospital parking was full that day, which added to my stress, but once I was in her care, I felt safe. Everything was handled so thoughtfully. I'm recovering well now, and I'm just very grateful for her kindness and skill during a frightening time.
Honestly, I was a mess when I came in with what turned out to be a hernia! I thought it was something much worse. Dr. Haritha was fantastic—she had this great, positive energy that immediately put me at ease. She did the examination, cracked a small joke about my gym habits, and laid out the plan. The surgery itself was way easier than I'd built up in my head. I'm already back to my normal routine, pain-free! It's such a relief. She's a brilliant doctor who really knows her stuff and has a great bedside manner to match.
