Dr. Poonam Gandhi

My mom was admitted to Apollo Pune for a bad infection. Dr. Poonam Gandhi was the one who called me every single evening to explain what was happening in plain language, not doctor-speak. I was so scared, but she made time to answer all my panicked questions, even the silly ones. She treated my mom with such kindness, and treated me like a partner in her care. We're home now and mom's doing so much better.

Had my gallbladder out with Dr. Gandhi. The surgery itself is a blur, but I remember how clear she was about what to expect afterwards. The first couple days were rough, I won't lie, but her team had a solid plan for the pain that actually worked. She checked on me personally every morning and adjusted things based on how I was feeling, not just some chart. I'm three weeks out now and following her recovery instructions to the letter—it's making a real difference.

Dr. Gandhi is great. Straight shooter. Told me exactly what was wrong with my stomach, laid out the options (meds vs. diet changes), didn't push for anything. Fixed me up. What more can you ask for? Parking at Apollo is always a nightmare, but she was worth the hassle.

I'd been feeling run down for months, just blaming it on work stress. Finally went to Apollo and got Dr. Gandhi. She didn't just do the standard tests; she actually listened to this long, rambling story about my energy levels and sleep. She asked questions about stuff I wouldn't have thought to mention, like my coffee habit and travel schedule. Ordered one specific extra blood test based on that chat. Turns out, it was a simple vitamin deficiency that my old doctor missed. She called with the results herself and explained it all with a diagram she drew on a notepad. It felt like she was solving a puzzle, not just processing a patient.
