Patient Experience
I'd been to three other doctors about this constant fatigue and stomach pain. Everyone said it was stress. Dr. Mukherjee at Apollo actually listened, asked a ton of questions I hadn't been asked before, and ordered some specific tests. Turns out it was a tricky thyroid issue combined with a mild food intolerance. He explained it all on a notepad, drawing little diagrams. Finally felt like someone connected the dots.
Needed a basic mole removal. Honestly, I was nervous at first, but Dr. Mukherjee made it so straightforward. The whole thing took maybe twenty minutes in his clinic room. He talked me through each step, the local anesthetic pinched for a second, and that was it. Follow-up was quick, and the scar is barely visible now. It was just... easy.
The Apollo waiting area was packed, I won't lie. But the front desk staff were really on it—calm and efficient. One nurse, I think her name was Priya, saw I was looking lost after my blood work and walked me back to Dr. Mukherjee's office herself. The place is huge, but the team makes it feel less intimidating. Even the cleaner in the hallway gave me a smile.
What I remember most is how he talked to my elderly mother. She was scared about some new medication. Dr. Mukherjee pulled his chair right up close, spoke slowly, and repeated the instructions without a hint of impatience. He didn't just talk to me, the 'responsible adult,' he made sure *she* understood. That kind of patience is rare.
