Patient Experience
I'd been to three other doctors for this nagging fatigue and stomach pain. Everyone said it was stress. Dr. Bagde was the first one who actually sat and listened to my whole history, even the stuff I thought was irrelevant. He ordered a specific test the others hadn't, and it turned out to be a tricky parasite. I'm finally on the right treatment and feeling like myself again. He just didn't give up.
Had to get a cyst removed from my back. Honestly, I was nervous at first, but Dr. Bagde explained everything in simple terms—how long it would take, what the scar might look like. The procedure itself was over before I knew it. The follow-up was quick, and he made sure I knew how to care for it at home. It was just... straightforward, which is exactly what you want.
The Apollo facility is nice, but what stood out was the team. The front desk lady helped me figure out my insurance form when I was confused. The nurse who took my vitals was really kind and chatted with me to calm my nerves. It felt like everyone Dr. Bagde works with is on the same page. Even the guy who cleaned the room gave a friendly nod. It made a long visit less stressful.
What I remember most is how he talks to you. I'm an older patient, and sometimes doctors rush. Dr. Bagde pulled up a chair, looked me in the eye, and asked about my life, not just my symptoms. He has this calm way of explaining things without talking down to you. You leave his room feeling heard, not just processed.
