Patient Experience
I'd been to three other doctors about this constant fatigue and stomach pain. Everyone said it was just stress. Dr. Akshatha was the first one who actually sat and mapped out all my symptoms with me over two visits. She ordered a specific test the others hadn't, and it turned out to be a tricky thyroid issue that was messing with everything. She explained it in a way that finally made sense. I'm on treatment now and feel like myself again.
Had to get a small cyst removed. Honestly, I was nervous at first, but the whole thing was so straightforward. Dr. Sharma walked me through exactly what would happen, the procedure itself was quick, and the follow-up was just a simple check-in call from her nurse. No drama, no fuss. Sometimes you just want things to be simple, and it was.
The Apollo waiting area was packed, I won't lie. But from the moment I checked in, the front desk staff were really kind and kept me updated on the wait. What stood out was how Dr. Sharma's assistant, Rohan, noticed I looked anxious and brought me a glass of water while I waited. It's those little things. The doctor was great, but the team around her made a stressful day much easier.
Look, I don't like hospitals. Dr. Sharma has this calm way about her that just puts you at ease. She doesn't rush you. When I was explaining my worries, she actually put her tablet down and just listened. She remembers personal details, too—asked about my daughter's exams at my last visit. It feels like you're talking to a very smart, caring person who happens to be a doctor, not the other way around.
