Patient Experience
Had my gallbladder out last month. The surgery itself went fine, but the first few days after were rough. Dr. Sirish Kumar really listened when I said the pain was worse than expected. He adjusted my meds and checked on me himself every morning, even on a Sunday. It made a huge difference in getting through that first week. The nurses were great too.
As a project manager, I don't have time for long, drawn-out appointments. I went to Dr. Kumar at Apollo Secunderabad for persistent acid reflux. He was direct, asked the right questions, ordered one scan, and gave me a clear treatment plan. It worked. Follow-up was a quick 10-minute video call. Exactly what I needed.
Look, I was skeptical. Another doctor, another hospital. But my wife made me go. Dr. Kumar? Actually decent. Figured out my weird stomach thing in two visits when my old doc couldn't in six months. No fancy talk, just straight answers. Parking at Apollo is still a nightmare, though.
It started as just a dull ache in my side. I ignored it for weeks until I couldn't sleep. I was really nervous walking into Apollo. Dr. Sirish Kumar had this calm way about him. He explained everything—what it could be, what the tests would feel like, even why the hospital gown was so breezy (he actually laughed about that). Turns out it was a minor infection, nothing serious. But the way he handled it, taking the time when he clearly had other patients, it stuck with me. He called with the lab results himself so I wouldn't worry over the weekend.
