Patient Experience
I'd been to three different doctors about this constant fatigue and stomach pain. Everyone said it was stress. Dr. Siddiqui was the first one who actually sat and listened to my whole history. He ordered a specific test the others hadn't, and it turned out to be a tricky vitamin deficiency that was messing with my system. He explained it in a way that finally made sense. I'm on a simple treatment now and feel like myself again.
Had to get a minor cyst removed. Honestly, I was pretty nervous about the whole thing. The procedure itself at Apollo was quick, maybe twenty minutes. Dr. Siddiqui talked me through each step as he worked, which really helped. The parking garage was a nightmare that day, but the actual appointment was straightforward. It healed up perfectly, no fuss.
The clinic was running a little behind, which I expected. But what stood out was how the nurse at Apollo noticed I was anxious while waiting. She offered me some water and chatted for a minute to distract me. It's a small thing, but it mattered. When I saw Dr. Siddiqui, he was just as calm and didn't rush me at all. The whole team made a potentially stressful visit feel manageable.
My teenage son needed a check-up and was being a typical grumpy kid about it. Dr. Siddiqui didn't just talk to me; he spoke directly to my son, asked him about school and sports, and got him to relax. He has this really easy, respectful way with people. My son left saying, 'He's alright,' which is high praise. It felt like we were talking to a person, not just a doctor.
