Patient Experience
I'd been to three different doctors for this nagging fatigue and stomach pain. Everyone said it was stress. Dr. Devarati actually listened, really listened, to everything I said. She ordered a specific test the others hadn't, and it turned out to be a tricky thyroid issue combined with a mild food intolerance. She explained it all on a notepad, drawing little diagrams. Finally, an answer that made sense.
Had to get a small cyst removed from my back. Honestly, I was more nervous about the hospital process than the cut itself. Dr. Khurjekar's team at Apollo Pune had it down to a science. In and out in a few hours. The procedure itself was quick, she checked in right after, and the follow-up call the next day was a nice touch. Felt very standard, in the best possible way.
The place was busy, I'll admit—parking took a minute. But from the front desk to the nurses, everyone was calm and helpful. The woman who took my blood samples saw I was anxious and just chatted about the weather. It made a difference. When I saw Dr. Devarati, she felt like part of that same team, not someone separate. The whole environment just felt competent.
What stuck with me was how Dr. Khurjekar talks to you. I'm an older patient, and sometimes doctors rush. She didn't. She sat down, asked about my life, not just my symptoms. When she explained my new blood pressure medication, she made sure I understood by having me repeat it back in my own words. She has a quiet, patient way about her that puts you at ease.
