Patient Experience
My 8-year-old son had a bad fever that wouldn't break, and I was really scared. Dr. Vijay Shekar was so calm with him, explained everything in simple terms to my boy before even touching him, and took the time to answer all my panicked questions. The clinic was busy and we waited a bit, but once we were in, he never made us feel rushed. He called the next day himself to check on him, which meant the world to me.
I've been seeing Dr. Vijay Shekar for my blood pressure and general health for almost a decade now, since he was at his old clinic. What I value most is that he remembers me, remembers my history, and doesn't just treat the numbers on a chart. He's consistent, tells me straight if I've slipped up on my diet, and I trust his judgment completely. He's my family's doctor because of that trust.
Had a nasty skin infection on my leg. Went to Dr. Vijay Shekar at Apollo. He checked it, prescribed meds, told me exactly what to watch for. It cleared up in a week. No fuss, got the job done.
I went in for what I thought was just persistent heartburn. Dr. Vijay Shekar listened, but then asked a bunch of questions I thought were unrelated—about my energy, my sleep. He suggested some basic blood work just to rule things out. Honestly, I was a little skeptical. Turns out, my thyroid was way off. He caught it early, explained the whole thing with a diagram on his notepad, and got me on a simple treatment plan. I'm glad he looked past my initial complaint.
