Doctor: Dr. Aarati Desai Hospital: Apollo Hospitals Pune

My appointment was at 11, but I got stuck in traffic and the parking at Apollo was a nightmare. I arrived flustered and 20 minutes late, sure I'd be rescheduled. The receptionist was understanding, and Dr. Desai still saw me without making me feel bad. She listened to my whole history—not just the cough I came in for—and connected it to some old allergy issues. It wasn't a quick in-and-out; she took the time to piece it together. I walked out with a clear understanding of what was actually wrong.
