Patient Experience
I'd been to three other doctors for this nagging fatigue and joint pain. Everyone said it was stress. Dr. Anju Mangla at Apollo actually sat and listened, asked about my family history, and ordered a specific test no one else had. Turns out it was something autoimmune. She explained it in a way that finally made sense, without sugarcoating it. Starting treatment now and I feel hopeful for the first time in a year.
Had to get a cyst removed from my back. Honestly, I was nervous at first, but Dr. Mangla made it seem so straightforward. The procedure itself was quick, and she talked me through the whole thing. The worst part was probably the parking garage being full that morning. Follow-up was easy, and the scar is healing really cleanly. Just a normal, smooth experience.
The clinic at Apollo was busy, I had to wait a bit past my appointment time. But the front desk staff were really nice about it, and the nurse who took my vitals had a great sense of humor that put me at ease. When Dr. Mangla came in, she was completely focused, not rushed. The whole place just felt efficient and calm, even when it was packed.
What I remember most is how Dr. Mangla talks to you. My mom is elderly and gets confused easily. Dr. Mangla didn't just talk to me; she looked right at my mom, spoke slowly, and checked if she understood. She even drew a little diagram on a notepad. It wasn't just about the medicine; it was about making sure my mom felt seen and less scared. That meant a lot.
