Dr. Ashish Chugh Reviews

I'd been to a couple of doctors for this nagging abdominal pain and kept getting told it was just stress. Dr. Chugh was different. He actually sat and listened to my whole history, asked questions no one else had, and ordered a specific scan. Turned out to be a rare type of hernia that was easy to miss. I was nervous about the surgery, but he explained it so clearly, even drew a little diagram. At Apollo, the whole thing went off without a hitch. He called to check on me the evening after, which really meant a lot.

Had to get my gallbladder out. Not exactly fun, but Dr. Chugh and his team made it as straightforward as it could be. The pre-op instructions were clear, the surgery was laparoscopic so the scars are tiny, and I was home the next day. Recovery was exactly what he said it would be—a bit sore for a week, then back to normal. No drama, no surprises. Just a smooth process from start to finish.

First time at Apollo Pune and I was pretty anxious. The place is huge and I got a bit turned around, but the lady at the front desk saw me looking lost and walked me right to Dr. Chugh's clinic. The nurses in his section were really kind, too—one even brought me a glass of water while I waited. The clinic itself felt calm, not like some sterile, scary places. It made a tough visit a little easier to handle.

What I remember most is how Dr. Chugh talks to you. He doesn't rush. When I came in with my blood pressure readings all over the place, he didn't just scribble a prescription. He asked about my job, my sleep, even what I typically eat for lunch. He made me feel like a person, not just a chart. We worked out a plan together, and now my numbers are the best they've been in years. He's got a real calm way about him that puts you at ease.
