Patient Experience
I'd been to a couple of doctors for this persistent fatigue and weird joint pain. Everyone said it was stress. Dr. Disha Saxena at Apollo actually listened, asked a ton of questions I hadn't been asked before, and ordered some specific tests. Turns out it was something pretty rare. She explained it all without making me feel stupid, and we finally had a real plan. It was a relief just to have a name for it.
Had to get a small cyst removed. Honestly, I was nervous at first, but Dr. Saxena made it so straightforward. The whole thing at Apollo was quick—in and out in a few hours. The procedure itself was fine, recovery was exactly as she said it would be. No drama, just got the job done properly.
The hospital was busy that day, parking was a nightmare. But once I got in, the front desk people were really patient. The nurse who took my vitals was lovely, cracked a joke that calmed me down. The whole place in Pune feels clean and organized, which helps when you're not feeling great.
What stuck with me was how Dr. Saxena talks to you. She doesn't rush. When I was worried about a medication side effect, she sat back down and went through the pros and cons again, in plain language. She has this calm way about her that makes you feel like you're in good hands, not just on an assembly line.
