Patient Experience
My dad was admitted under Dr. Kishore Gottapu. I was really scared, but the doctor took the time to explain everything to us in simple terms, more than once. He even drew a little diagram on a notepad. He was always available when we called, day or night, which meant the world to us. We felt like we were part of the team, not just waiting in the dark.
Had my gallbladder out with Dr. Gottapu. I was dreading the pain after, honestly. But his team had a clear plan for it and they stuck to it. The first day was rough, but they managed it well and got me moving quickly. The follow-up instructions were super clear—what to eat, how to move, what's normal pain and what's not. Felt supported the whole way through.
Dr. Gottapu is a straight shooter. No sugar-coating, which I appreciate. Told me exactly what was wrong, what my options were, and what he recommended. Surgery went fine, recovery's on track. Apollo's a big place, parking's a nightmare, but the doc himself was good.
I went in for what I thought was just bad indigestion. Dr. Gottapu listened, asked a lot of questions, and didn't just jump to the easiest answer. He ordered a couple of extra tests 'just to be sure,' he said. Turns out, it was a small hernia starting. Because he caught it early, we could plan a simple fix instead of an emergency later. The whole process, from that first consult to the minor procedure, felt thoughtful. He remembers the small things you tell him.
