Patient Experience
My 8-year-old son had a nasty stomach bug that just wouldn't quit. We were so scared. Dr. Ajay Manickam at Apollo Trichy was so calm with him, explained everything in simple terms even to my boy. He didn't just treat the sickness, he made my son feel brave. The wait was a bit long that evening, but honestly, seeing how he handled my crying kid made it worth it. We left feeling like we had a plan and someone actually listening.
Had my gallbladder out last month. The surgery itself is one thing, but how you feel after is everything. Dr. Manickam's team had a clear plan for the pain that actually worked—none of that 'just tough it out' stuff. He checked on me himself the next morning, adjusted my meds when I said something still hurt. Recovery's been steady, no surprises. He sets realistic expectations and then meets them.
Went to Dr. Manickam for a persistent cough. Quick, direct, figured it out. Got the right meds, got better. What more do you want? Parking at Apollo is always a hassle, though.
I've had this dull ache in my side for months. Saw two other doctors who just shrugged. Booked with Dr. Ajay Manickam as a last try. He spent the first ten minutes just asking questions—about my job, my diet, everything. He actually connected the dots, ordered one specific scan the others hadn't. Turned out to be a minor thing, easily fixed, but it was causing all the trouble. The relief wasn't just from the diagnosis; it was from finally feeling heard. He remembers you, too. Saw him in the hall a week later and he asked if the new diet was helping with the energy levels.
