Dr. Rakesh Agarwal

I'd been to a couple of doctors about this nagging fatigue and stomach thing. Everyone said it was stress. Dr. Agarwal was the first one who actually listened to the weird pattern I described—how it flared up after certain meals. He ordered some specific tests others hadn't, and it turned out to be a less common food intolerance. It wasn't life-threatening, but figuring it out changed my daily life completely. He just connected dots others missed.

Had to get a minor cyst removed. Honestly, I was more worried about the needle than the procedure itself. Dr. Agarwal talked me through each step as he did it, just normal chat about the weather, and before I knew it, he was putting a bandage on. The whole thing took maybe twenty minutes. It healed up fine, no fuss. Sometimes simple things going right is a huge relief.

The Apollo waiting area was packed, I won't lie. But the nurse at Dr. Agarwal's desk, she remembered me from my last visit a year ago. She got me sorted quickly even though I was a bit late. The whole team in there just seems to work together quietly—no drama, no confusion. It makes a stressful visit feel manageable.

My teenage son had to see him and was in a real mood, clamming up. Dr. Agarwal didn't push. He just sat back and started asking him about football instead of symptoms. Got him to relax and open up on his own. That meant more to me than any medicine. You could tell he actually sees the person, not just the chart.
