Patient Experience
Our 8-year-old son, Arjun, had been complaining of stomach pains for weeks. We saw a couple of doctors who just said it was 'growing pains,' but it kept getting worse. We were so scared. At Apollo, Dr. Harsh Bhargava actually sat on the edge of the bed and talked to Arjun first, not just to us. He asked him about his favorite cricket players to get him to relax. He figured out it was a food intolerance, not something scarier, and walked us through the diet changes step-by-step. The relief we felt… it wasn't just about the diagnosis. It was seeing a doctor treat our little boy with such kindness and patience when he was so frightened.
Severe abdominal pain. Went to Apollo's emergency. Was admitted under Dr. Bhargava. He ordered the right scans quickly, diagnosed a gallstone issue. Explained the situation clearly: options, risks, next steps. No sugar-coating, no unnecessary jargon. Coordinated with the surgeon. The follow-up was efficient. Problem solved. He's a competent, direct physician. That's what you need when you're in pain.
I was quite nervous about my persistent acidity. The hospital itself is very big and busy, which added to my anxiety. But Dr. Bhargava has a very calm way about him. He listened without rushing me, even when I repeated myself. His advice was simple—some changes to my daily routine and a mild medication. He didn't make it seem like a big, dramatic problem, which helped me worry less. It's been two months now, and following his gentle guidance has made a real difference. I'm very grateful for his thoughtful approach.
Okay, I have to share this because I'm just so glad we found him! My husband had been dragging his feet about this weird fatigue and bloating for AGES. Finally got him to see Dr. Bhargava. The clinic was running a bit late that day, but honestly, it was worth the wait. The doctor has this great energy—he's thorough but also really puts you at ease. He asked a ton of questions we hadn't even thought of, ran some tests, and found the root cause was a simple vitamin deficiency! Such a fixable thing! My husband is already feeling brighter. Really, really good experience. More doctors should be like him!
