Patient Experience
My energy had been completely gone for months, and a couple of other doctors just told me to rest more. Dr. Bankar was the first one who actually listened and decided to dig deeper. He ordered some specific tests I'd never had before and figured out it was a thyroid issue that was really well-hidden. I was honestly scared when he explained how complex it was, but he laid out a clear plan. I'm finally starting to feel like myself again.
I needed a minor cyst removed, and honestly, I was nervous at first. But Dr. Bankar made the whole thing feel so straightforward. He explained exactly what he'd do, the procedure itself was quick, and the recovery was exactly as he said it would be. No drama, no surprises—just a smooth experience from start to finish. It's a relief when things just go as planned.
The Apollo facility is nice, but what really stood out was the team. The front desk helped me sort out my paperwork when I was flustered, and the nurse who took my vitals was really kind, cracking a joke to put me at ease. Even though the parking lot was packed that day, the staff inside made the visit feel calm and organized. It felt like everyone was working together.
What I remember most is how Dr. Bankar talked to me, not at me. He sat down, made eye contact, and didn't rush. When I had questions, he answered in plain language without making me feel silly for asking. He has a quiet, reassuring way about him that just makes you feel like you're in good hands, even when discussing something serious.
