Patient Experience
I've been seeing Dr. Rathi for my blood pressure and general health for about seven years now, since he was at his old clinic. I followed him to Apollo. That says it all, really. He remembers my history without me having to repeat it every time, and he never rushes to change my meds just for the sake of it. He's steady. You don't find that kind of consistency often, and it's what builds real trust. The new hospital is busier, sure, but he's the same doctor.
As someone who manages a team and has zero time for illness, Dr. Rathi gets it. I came in with a bad sinus thing that was wrecking my productivity. He was direct, asked the right questions, gave me a clear treatment plan that worked fast, and didn't push unnecessary tests. In and out with a solution. Exactly what I needed.
Look, I was nervous at first. New doctor, big hospital. But Dr. Rathi is straight-up. I told him my stomach was a mess and I was worried. He listened, explained what it likely was (and wasn't), and laid out the steps simply. No sugar-coating, no scare tactics. Fixed me up in a couple weeks. Parking at Apollo is a nightmare though, fair warning.
My whole experience started on a really rough day. I'd been feeling off for weeks—tired, headaches, just not myself. I finally booked with Dr. Rathi at Apollo. The wait was a bit long, I won't lie, but once I got in, he changed the pace completely. He sat back and just let me talk it all out, even the stuff I thought was silly. He connected dots I hadn't, asked about my sleep and work stress, and ordered specific tests instead of a full scattergun approach. When the results came back (slightly low vitamin B12, mostly stress), his explanation was so clear. He said, "Let's tackle the deficiency and work on managing the stress, not just mask it." It felt like a real plan, not just a prescription. I'm feeling much more like me now.
