Patient Experience
I'd been feeling off for months, just tired and achy. A couple of other doctors had basically shrugged. Dr. Gayathri actually sat and listened, asked a bunch of questions I hadn't been asked before. She ordered some specific tests and figured out it was a thyroid issue that was mimicking other things. It wasn't a quick fix, but having a real answer after so long was a huge relief. She explained it all without making me feel stupid.
Needed to get a small cyst removed. Honestly, I was nervous at first about any kind of procedure. Dr. Gayathri walked me through exactly what would happen, step by step. The day of, it was so straightforward. In and out of Apollo Nellore in a few hours. A bit of a wait in the pre-op area, but the nurses kept checking on me. Follow-up was easy, and the scar is barely there now. Just a smooth experience all around.
The hospital itself is pretty calm, which helped. I was there with my dad for his check-up. The front desk people were patient with our questions, and the nurse who took his vitals was really kind, even joked with him to get him to relax. The place was clean and quiet. Parking was a bit of a hunt, I'll admit, but once we were inside, everything felt organized. It made a stressful day a little easier.
What really stuck with me was how Dr. Gayathri talks to you. She doesn't rush. When I was worried about some test results, she didn't just read them off; she drew a little diagram on her notepad to show me what was going on. She remembers small things from previous visits, asks about my family. It feels like you're talking to a very smart, caring person who also happens to be a doctor, not the other way around.
