Patient Experience
I'd been to three other doctors about this constant fatigue and stomach pain. They all said it was stress. Dr. Tikoo 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 parasite. He explained it all with a diagram on his notepad. I'm finally on the right treatment and feel like myself again.
Had to get a cyst removed from my back. Honestly, I was nervous about the whole thing. But Dr. Tikoo's whole process was so straightforward. He talked me through each step on the day, the local anesthetic worked perfectly, and it was over in what felt like twenty minutes. The stitches were so neat my wife said she could barely see them. Just a really smooth experience from start to finish.
The Apollo waiting area was packed, I won't lie. But the nurses at Dr. Tikoo's clinic were really on the ball. They kept things moving, remembered my name when they called me, and one even helped my elderly mother find a seat. The clinic itself felt calm and clean, which helped a lot when you're feeling anxious. It made the long wait much more bearable.
What stuck with me was how Dr. Tikoo talked to my young son. My boy was scared of the stethoscope. Instead of just pushing ahead, Dr. Tikoo let him listen to his own heart first, then mine. He got down to his level and spoke so gently. My son went from crying to being fascinated. That kind of patience and understanding means more than any medicine sometimes.
