Patient Experience
My 8-year-old son spiked a crazy high fever out of nowhere last month. We were panicking. Dr. Nikhil Modi saw him at Apollo, and honestly, he was so calm with my kid. He explained everything to us in simple terms—what the fever was doing, why the antibiotics were needed—and checked in with the nurses twice after hours. My son actually said the doctor was 'nice,' which from a scared kid means everything. We're still following up, but I finally feel like someone's really looking out for him.
I've been seeing Dr. Modi for about seven years now, ever since my diabetes diagnosis. You know how it is with chronic stuff—you need someone who remembers you, who gets the whole picture. He does. He recalls my last test numbers without always checking the file, asks about my family, and never rushes me. When my meds needed adjusting last year, he walked me through three different options and their pros and cons. That kind of consistency is hard to find. He's my guy.
Had a bad stomach thing for weeks. Went to Dr. Modi at Apollo. He figured it out fast, gave me a clear plan. Fixed it. Good doctor.
So, I woke up with this crushing chest pain back in March. Terrifying. Rushed to Apollo, totally convinced it was a heart attack. After a bunch of tests, they sent me to Dr. Nikhil Modi. He sat down, looked over everything, and said, 'Your heart is perfectly fine. But I think you've been carrying your stress right here.' He poked my rib cage, and I nearly jumped off the table. Turns out, I had a severe muscle spasm from... anxiety and bad posture at my new job. He spent twenty minutes showing me stretches, talked about stress management like a real person, not a textbook. The parking garage was a nightmare that day, but honestly, leaving, I felt lighter than I had in months. He treated the panic as seriously as the pain.
