Patient Experience
I'd been to three other doctors about this constant fatigue and stomach pain. They all said it was stress. Dr. Ashwini actually listened, asked a ton of questions I hadn't been asked before, and ordered some specific tests. Turns out it was a tricky thyroid issue combined with a mild food intolerance. He explained it in a way that finally made sense. I'm on a simple treatment plan now and feel like myself again.
Had to get a colonoscopy, which honestly scared me. The whole thing at Apollo was straightforward. Yes, the prep was no fun, but on the day, Dr. Ashwini's team was calm and professional. The procedure itself was quick, I was in and out. Dr. Ashwini called me himself with the all-clear results the next afternoon, which was a nice touch. Nothing fancy, just done right.
My husband was admitted with a bad infection. The waiting was hard, I won't lie. But what helped was how the nurses at Apollo kept me updated, and the lady at the front desk remembered my name and would ask how I was holding up. Even the cleaner smiled and said hello. Dr. Ashwini coordinated everything, but it felt like a whole team was looking out for us, not just one person.
Look, I'm not great with doctors. I get nervous and clam up. Dr. Ashwini has this way of just... talking to you. He sat down, didn't rush, and cracked a small joke about my hometown cricket team to break the ice. He didn't just look at my chart; he looked at me. When he explained my high blood pressure, he drew a little diagram on a notepad. Felt like he was talking *with* me, not *at* me.
