Dr. Qaedjohar Dhariwala

Had my gallbladder out last month. The surgery itself went fine, but the first few days after were rough. Dr. Dhariwala's team at Apollo had a clear plan for the pain meds and told me exactly what to expect. They didn't sugarcoat it, which I appreciated. I'm back to eating normally now and the incisions are healing cleanly.

As a project manager, I don't have time for drawn-out appointments. I went to Dr. Dhariwala with persistent stomach issues. He was direct, ordered the right tests quickly, and diagnosed a food intolerance. Got a clear treatment plan in two visits. Fixed the problem, minimal time off work. Exactly what I needed.

Look, I was nervous. Never been to a hospital in Pune before. But Dr. Dhariwala? Straight shooter. I told him my symptoms, he listened, asked good questions. Explained what he thought it was (turned out he was right) and what the medicine would do. No fancy talk, just got me feeling better. Parking at Apollo was a nightmare though.

It started with this dull ache in my side that wouldn't quit. After a week of my wife telling me to see someone, I booked with Dr. Dhariwala at Apollo. He had this calm way about him. He pressed a few spots, asked about my diet, and suspected it might be my appendix. Sent me for a scan just to be sure. The scan confirmed it, and he talked me through the surgery option versus antibiotics. We went with antibiotics first, and he checked in by phone two days later. I'm glad we tried that route—it worked, and I avoided the operating room. He made a scary situation feel manageable.
