Dr. Pranav Kumar Reviews

I'd been feeling off for months, tired and achy, and my local doc just said it was stress. Dr. Pranav Kumar at Apollo actually listened. He didn't rush. He asked about things I thought were unrelated, like this weird rash I had last year. He connected the dots and ordered a specific blood test nobody else had. Turns out it was a rare autoimmune thing. He explained it to me and my wife in plain English, drew diagrams on a notepad. Started me on treatment that week. I'm not 100% yet, but for the first time, I feel like someone truly figured it out.

Had to get a colonoscopy. Not exactly fun to talk about, but it was time. The prep was the worst part, honestly. The day of, at Apollo, I was pretty nervous. Dr. Kumar's team was calm and professional. The anesthesiologist cracked a silly joke as I was going under. Woke up, it was all done. Dr. Kumar came by, said everything looked completely normal, showed me a couple of pictures. Whole thing was straightforward. Got my report the next day. It was a relief to have it over with and get the all-clear.

The Apollo waiting area was busy, I had to wait a bit past my appointment time. But you know what? The front desk lady was really kind about it, offered me water. The nurse who took my vitals, Sameer, had a great way of putting you at ease. He talked about the rain while checking my BP. Even the cleaner in the hallway smiled and nodded. It's those small things that make a hospital visit less cold. When Dr. Kumar finally saw me, he apologized for the wait, which I appreciated. The place just felt... human.

Look, I'm not great with doctors. I get quiet and just want to get out. Dr. Kumar has this way about him. He sits down, doesn't hover. Asks how my job is going while he's looking at my chart. When he explained I needed a minor procedure, he saw I was worried. He said, 'It's okay to be nervous. Most people are. Let's go through what a normal Tuesday looks like for you after this is done.' He focused on life after, not the scary part. Didn't talk down to me. Felt like I was talking to a really smart, calm friend who knew medicine.
