Patient Experience
I'd been to a couple of doctors about this constant fatigue and weird joint pain. Everyone said it was stress or maybe just getting older. Dr. Seema Grover at Apollo actually listened to every little symptom I mentioned, even the ones I thought were silly. She ordered a specific blood test no one else had. Turns out, it was something pretty rare. She explained it all with a diagram on her notepad, and honestly, just having a name for it was a huge relief. We have a plan now.
Had to get a colonoscopy, which I was dreading. The prep was as awful as everyone says, I won't lie. But the day of, at Apollo, everything was straightforward. Dr. Grover's team was calm and told me exactly what was happening each step of the way. The procedure itself was fine—I was out for it. Woke up, she came by, said everything looked completely normal, and that was that. It was a hassle, but a smooth one.
The parking at Apollo was a nightmare that day, completely full. I was flustered by the time I got to Dr. Grover's clinic. But the woman at the front desk was really kind, got me checked in fast, and the nurse who took my vitals had a great way of chatting that took my mind off why I was there. The whole place just felt efficient and calm, which helped a lot. Even the doctor seemed less rushed because of it.
I was really nervous at first. Doctors' offices make me anxious. But Dr. Grover has this way of talking that's direct but not cold. She didn't just look at my chart; she looked at me. When I asked a question that probably sounded stupid, she didn't make me feel bad about it. She just answered it simply. It felt like talking to a very smart, no-nonsense family friend who also happens to know a ton about medicine.
