Dr. Saleena Vaidya

I'd been to a couple of doctors about this constant fatigue and weird joint pain. Everyone said it was stress or maybe just getting older. Dr. Vaidya actually listened to the whole, messy story, asked questions no one else had, and ordered some specific tests. Turns out it was something pretty rare, an autoimmune thing. She explained it all without making me feel stupid, and we finally have a treatment plan that's working. She just didn't give up.

Had to get a small cyst removed. Honestly, I was nervous at first, but Dr. Vaidya made it so straightforward. The whole thing was over in what felt like minutes. She talked me through each step as she did it, which really helped. The incision is tiny, healing up nicely. It was just a simple thing, but she treated it with real care.

The Apollo waiting area was actually calm, which helped. But what really stood out was her nurse, Priya. I was there with my elderly mother, who was confused and a bit agitated. Priya was so patient with her, explaining things slowly and even found her a quieter spot to wait. It made a tough day much easier. Dr. Vaidya is great, but that kind of teamwork from the staff matters a lot.

Look, I'm not great with doctors. I get awkward. But Dr. Vaidya has this way of just being normal. She sits down, looks at you, and actually has a conversation. She remembers little things from my last visit about my job or my kid. It doesn't feel rushed. When she explains something, she uses her hands and draws little diagrams on the paper sheet. It makes you feel like a person, not just the next appointment.
