Dr. Raghuram K

I'd been to three doctors with this nagging fatigue and joint pain, everyone said it was stress. Dr. Raghuram actually listened to the whole, weird story. He ordered a specific blood test no one else had thought of, and it turned out to be something pretty rare. He sat with me and my wife for a good twenty minutes explaining what it meant in plain English, not just medical terms. Felt like we finally had a map for what was happening.

Had to get a colonoscopy, which honestly scared me more than it should have. The procedure itself was fine, but what stuck with me was Dr. Raghuram. Right before, he popped his head in, cracked a simple joke about the hospital gown, and asked if I had any last questions. Didn't feel rushed. The whole thing was over before I knew it, and he called my wife himself later to say everything looked clear. Just felt very... handled.

Parking at Apollo was a nightmare that day, I was already flustered. But from the front desk lady who helped me find my way to the nurse who took my vitals—everyone was calm and kind. Dr. Raghuram's assistant remembered my name from a previous call. The place is busy, sure, but the team makes it feel less like a factory. It’s the little things that cut the stress.

Look, I'm not great with doctors. I get nervous and clam up. Dr. Raghuram has this way of just... talking. He asks about your work, your family, normal stuff, while he's checking you. It doesn't feel like an interrogation. Last time, he noticed I was tapping my foot like crazy and just said, 'Something on your mind today?' Ended up telling him about a work problem that was actually making my blood pressure spike. He gets that you're a whole person, not just a chart.
