Patient Experience
I've been seeing Dr. Meera Sekhar for my blood pressure and general health for nearly eight years now. What I value most is that she remembers me, remembers my history, and never rushes. The clinic at Apollo can get busy, and sometimes you wait a bit, but once you're in her room, she gives you her full attention. She doesn't jump to conclusions or order tests just for the sake of it. It's that consistency that makes you trust a doctor.
Had a persistent cough that wouldn't go away. Went to Dr. Sekhar. She listened, checked me over, asked the right questions. Said it was likely a post-viral thing but ordered a basic chest X-ray to be sure. It was clear. She explained what to expect and when to come back if it didn't improve. No drama, no unnecessary medication. It was straightforward and exactly what I needed.
I was quite worried about some recurring stomach issues. I'm not one to complain much, but it was getting me down. Dr. Sekhar has such a calm way about her. She didn't dismiss my concerns, even though I downplayed them. She laid out a simple plan for diet and some tests, and she checked in with me over the phone a week later. That meant a lot. The care felt genuine, not just clinical.
Honestly, I was a nervous wreck before my appointment. I'd put off a general check-up for years. Dr. Sekhar just made the whole thing feel normal. She talked me through everything, even the blood draw. When the results came back showing I was pre-diabetic, she didn't scare me; she just gave me a clear, doable plan. I left feeling relieved and actually motivated. It's been six months, and my numbers are better. She's great!
