Patient Experience
Had to get a minor cyst removed. Honestly, I was nervous at first, but Dr. Kakar talked me through the whole thing in plain language. The procedure itself was quick, hardly felt a thing. The parking garage was full that day, which was annoying, but once I got upstairs, everything from check-in to the follow-up bandage check was straightforward. No drama, just good care.
The place itself is nice and calm, which helps when you're not feeling great. But what really stood out was the team. The nurse who took my vitals was really kind, and the front desk lady helped me sort out my insurance paperwork without making me feel like an idiot. It felt like everyone, from Dr. Kakar on down, was on the same page.
Look, I'm not great with doctors. I get anxious. Dr. Kakar has this way of just being... normal. He doesn't talk down to you, he sits and chats for a minute before getting to the medical stuff. When he explained my high blood pressure, he drew a little diagram on the paper sheet. It's that extra bit of care that made me actually want to follow his advice.
I'd been to a few doctors for this nagging stomach pain and fatigue, everyone said it was just stress. Dr. Sinha was different. He actually sat and listened to the whole timeline again, asked about things no one else had. He ordered a specific scan others hadn't thought of, and that's how they found the issue. It wasn't straightforward, but he explained it in a way that finally made sense. Felt like someone actually connected the dots.
Had to get a small cyst removed. Honestly, I was nervous at first, but Dr. Sinha made it sound so simple. The day of, the whole thing was over before I knew it. He checked in right after, the nurse gave clear instructions for the bandage, and that was that. No drama, no fuss. Sometimes you just want things to be easy, and this was.
The parking at Apollo was a nightmare that day, completely full, so I was pretty flustered by the time I got to the clinic. But the lady at Dr. Sinha's front desk was really calm and got me sorted. The place itself is clean and quiet, which helped me settle down. Even the person who took my blood pressure was quick and friendly. It made the whole visit less of a chore.
What I remember most is how he talked to my elderly mother. She gets confused easily. Dr. Sinha didn't rush her. He pulled his chair closer, looked her in the eye, and repeated things slowly without sounding patronizing. He drew a little diagram on his notepad for her. You could see her relax. That kind of patience is rare.
At my age, one becomes rather apprehensive about new doctors. Dr. Dutta put me at ease immediately. He didn't rush me, explained my new medication in simple terms, and even asked about my home situation to ensure I could manage. The hospital is large, but his manner made the whole visit less daunting.
Our 8-year-old had a high fever that wouldn't break, and we were terrified. Dr. Dutta saw us quickly even though the clinic was busy. He was so calm with our son, explaining everything to him in a way a kid could understand. He didn't just treat the fever; he listened to all our worries and gave us a clear plan. We left feeling like we finally had things under control.
Had a weird stomach thing for weeks. Saw Dr. Dutta. He figured it out, gave me a script, told me what to avoid. Done. Felt better in a few days. No fuss.
I went in for what I thought was just a bad cough that wouldn't quit. I was expecting a quick check and some syrup. But Dr. Dutta actually sat back after listening to my chest and asked about other things—my energy levels, if I'd lost weight without trying. He connected dots I didn't even see. Ordered a couple of specific tests, and it turned out to be a mild thyroid issue, not just a chest infection. The cough was just a side effect. I'm glad he looked at the whole picture, not just the obvious symptom.
I'd been to three other doctors about this constant fatigue and stomach pain. They all said it was stress. Dr. Malhotra actually listened to the whole, messy story, asked a bunch 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 in a way that finally made sense, and the treatment worked. I feel like myself again.
Had to get a colonoscopy, which honestly scared me. The prep was the worst part, obviously. But on the day, Dr. Malhotra and his team at Apollo were really straightforward. He walked me through what would happen, no sugar-coating, which I appreciated. The procedure itself was quick, and I was home by lunch. It was just... smooth. Got the all-clear a few days later, which was a huge relief.
The Apollo waiting area was packed, and I was there with my dad who was really anxious. One of the nurses, I think her name was Priya, noticed and brought him some water. She just chatted with him about his garden for a few minutes while we waited. It calmed him right down. That small thing made a big difference. Dr. Malhotra was great, but the whole team there just felt human.
Look, I'm not great with doctors. I get nervous and clam up. Dr. Malhotra has this very calm, no-rush way about him. He sat down, didn't look at the clock, and just said, 'So, what's bothering you?' in a normal voice. He didn't use a ton of medical jargon, and when he did, he stopped to explain it. I didn't feel like just another file on his desk. That meant a lot.
My 14-year-old was having these awful stomach pains for weeks, and we'd seen two other doctors who just shrugged. Dr. Bhagat was the first one who actually sat down with my son, not just me, and talked to him like a person. He asked about school stress, friends, everything. He figured out it was anxiety, not a physical problem. The way he explained it to my kid, without making him feel silly, made all the difference. We're doing the exercises he suggested and things are so much better.
Had my gallbladder out last month. Honestly, I was terrified of the pain afterwards. Dr. Bhagat's team had a clear plan from the start—what meds, when to take them, what to expect each day. He called me himself the evening after surgery to check in. The first couple days were rough, no lie, but knowing what was normal and having a number to call (they actually answered) helped me not panic. Recovery wasn't fun, but I never felt like I was dealing with it alone.
Been seeing Dr. Bhagat for my blood pressure for a few years now. He's straight to the point, which I like. Listens, adjusts my meds if needed, tells me clearly what I need to do. No fluff. Parking at Apollo is always a nightmare, but once you're in his clinic, it's efficient.
I went in for what I thought was just a really bad flu. Felt awful for over a week. Dr. Bhagat, he's got this calm way about him. He did the usual check-up, but then he noticed my ankles were a bit puffy, which I hadn't. Asked a lot of questions about my water intake and energy levels. Long story short, he ran some extra tests and found a kidney issue that was starting. Nothing major yet, thankfully, because we caught it. It was scary, but he laid out the steps so clearly—diet changes, follow-up tests, the whole plan. Felt like he was solving a puzzle with me, not just writing a prescription.
My dad was admitted at Apollo Delhi last month. We were all really scared. Dr. Choudhury was the one who actually sat us down in the family room and explained everything in simple words—what was happening, what the next steps were, and what we could expect. He didn't just talk to the patient; he talked to us. That made a huge difference when we were feeling so helpless. He even gave me his direct number for updates.
