Patient Experience
My appointment with Dr. Vijay Malshikare was arranged by my son, as I find the new online systems a bit confusing. I was quite anxious about my persistent stomach trouble. From the moment I entered his room at Apollo, he put me at ease. He didn't rush. He listened to my entire history, asked about my diet and habits with great patience, and explained my condition in simple terms I could understand. His manner is so respectful and calm. The treatment he suggested has worked very well, and I feel like myself again. A very kind doctor.
Had a recurring skin issue for months. Went to Dr. Malshikare at Apollo Pune. Waiting area was busy, got seen close to my time. He was direct, asked clear questions, examined the area thoroughly. Diagnosis was straightforward—a fungal infection I hadn't considered. Prescribed a cream and gave clear instructions: apply twice daily, keep area dry. No extra tests, no complicated talk. Followed it. Cleared up in two weeks. Effective. Would go back if needed.
I was really nervous before seeing the doctor. I don't like hospitals much. But Dr. Malshikare… he has a very gentle way about him. He smiled and let me take my time explaining the dizziness I’d been feeling. He checked my ears and asked about my sleep. He said it was likely a minor inner ear issue and some stress, which made sense. He suggested some simple exercises and told me to cut back on tea. It wasn't anything scary. He made me feel heard, and I'm doing much better now. Thank you.
Finally! After three different opinions for my son's constant fatigue, we met Dr. Malshikare. What a difference! He actually looked at all the previous reports together, asked my son a bunch of questions about school and sports, and pieced it together—it was a combination of mild anemia and not eating enough before football practice. So simple! His plan was practical: diet changes and an iron supplement. My kid has his energy back. Dr. Malshikare just got it right where others missed it. So relieved!
