Patient Experience
For months, I just felt off—tired, achy, nothing specific. My local doctor was stumped. At Apollo, Dr. Mahajan actually listened to my whole rambling history. He ordered a specific blood test others hadn't thought of, and it turned out to be a rare autoimmune thing. He explained it to me with a diagram on his notepad, no big words. Starting treatment now, and finally feel like we have a path.
Had to get a colonoscopy, which everyone dreads, right? The prep was the worst part, honestly. On the day, Dr. Mahajan's team was so calm. The procedure itself was over before I knew it. He came by after, showed me a couple of pictures saying everything looked clear, and cracked a small joke about the prep. It was just... straightforward. No drama, which is exactly what you want.
The hospital is huge and can feel intimidating. Parking was a nightmare the first time, I had to circle for ages. But once inside, the front desk people guided me right to Dr. Mahajan's clinic. The nurse who took my vitals saw I was anxious and just chatted about the weather while she worked. It's a busy place, but the staff make it feel less like a machine.
Look, I was scared. First major health scare. Dr. Mahajan has this quiet way about him. He didn't rush. He sat down, asked how I was coping, not just about the symptoms. When he explained the treatment plan, he checked my face to see if I was following. It felt like he was talking to me, not at a chart. That calmness rubbed off on me.
