Dr. Rajesh K Chawla

Had my gallbladder out last month. The surgery itself was fine, but the first few days after were rough. Dr. Chawla was really clear about what to expect with the pain and how to manage it. He didn't just hand me pills; he explained when to take what and what was normal vs. when to call. The follow-up call from his nurse checking in was a nice touch. Still sore sometimes, but feeling much more like myself now.

My 8-year-old son, Arjun, had a high fever that wouldn't break for days. We were so scared. Dr. Chawla saw him at Apollo and just had this calm way about him. He talked directly to Arjun, not just to us, which made my boy feel less frightened. He explained everything in simple terms—what the tests were for, why a certain medicine was needed. It turned out to be a tricky infection, but Dr. Chawla stayed on top of it. We felt like he was really in our corner during a terrifying time.

Went to Dr. Chawla for a persistent stomach issue. Parking at Apollo was a nightmare, but once I got in, it was worth it. He's direct, no sugar-coating. Listened, asked good questions, ordered the right tests. Figured it out. Fixed it. What more do you want?

I'd been putting off seeing anyone about this nagging fatigue for months. Finally booked an appointment, though I was nervous they'd just tell me I was working too hard. Dr. Chawla didn't rush. He went through my whole history, asked about my sleep, diet, stress—things I didn't think were related. He remembered small details I'd mentioned weeks earlier. It was a process of elimination, and he was patient through it. We found the cause (turned out to be a simple vitamin deficiency) and a plan. I left feeling heard, not just processed.
