Patient Experience
I'd been to three other doctors about this constant fatigue and stomach pain. They all said it was stress. Dr. Shandil actually listened, asked a ton of questions I hadn't been asked before, and ordered a specific test the others hadn't. Turns out it was a tricky parasite. He explained it all with a diagram on his notepad—made it simple. I'm finally feeling like myself after the treatment he prescribed.
Had to get a small cyst removed from my back. Honestly, I was nervous at first, but Dr. Shandil made it so straightforward. The whole thing took maybe twenty minutes in his procedure room at Apollo. He talked me through each step, and it was over before I knew it. The stitches were neat, healed perfectly. It was just a simple thing, but he didn't rush it.
The Apollo main lobby is always so busy, I got a bit turned around finding the clinic. One of the floor coordinators saw me looking lost, walked me right to the desk, and even got me a water while I waited. The nurse who took my vitals was really kind, cracked a joke about the weather to settle my nerves. It's those little things that make a difference when you're not feeling great.
What I remember most is how Dr. Shandil sat down, really sat down, to talk after my check-up. He asked about my work, my kids, how the recovery was fitting into my life—not just the medical chart. He has this calm way of talking that makes you feel heard, not just processed. You leave feeling like a person, not a case number.
