Patient Experience
I was really nervous going in. It was my first time at a big hospital like Apollo, and I was convinced it would be cold and rushed. Dr. Thombare completely changed that. He just listened, really listened, while I stumbled through explaining my stomach issues. He didn't interrupt or look at the clock. He asked simple questions that actually made sense, and by the end, I felt silly for being so worried. He explained everything in a way that didn't make me feel stupid. I walked out feeling like a weight was off my shoulders.
Had a persistent cough for weeks. Went to Apollo, saw Dr. Bhushan Thombare. The wait was a bit long, but once in, it was efficient. He asked clear questions, checked me over, ordered the right tests. Diagnosis was straightforward, treatment plan was clear. No fuss. Follow-up was smooth. Got better. That's what I needed.
My husband insisted I see someone about my constant tiredness. I'm not one to complain, but it was becoming difficult. Dr. Thombare has such a gentle way about him. He made the whole visit feel less clinical. He spoke softly, explained things about my vitamin levels without any jargon that would scare me. He even noticed I seemed anxious and took a moment to reassure me it was a common, treatable thing. It felt like he truly cared, not just about the numbers on the chart, but about me feeling better. I'm so grateful for his kindness.
What a relief! I'd been to two other doctors about this recurring pain and just got shrugs or complicated plans that didn't work. Dr. Thombare? Different story. He actually looked at my old reports, asked a bunch of new questions I hadn't been asked before, and put it all together. He had this 'aha!' moment and laid out a simple fix. It worked! I finally feel like myself again. The guy knows his stuff. So glad I went to see him!
