Patient Experience
I'd been to three other doctors for this constant fatigue and pain. Everyone said it was stress. Dr. Venkataramana actually listened to the whole, messy story, asked questions no one else had, and ordered a specific test. Turns out it was something pretty rare. He explained it all with a diagram on his notepad—didn't rush me at all. Finally having a real answer, even a complex one, was a huge relief.
Had to get a colonoscopy, which honestly scared me. The whole thing at Apollo was smoother than I expected. Dr. Venkataramana walked me through each step beforehand, and the procedure itself was quick. I was in and out the same day, just a bit groggy. It was a routine thing for him, but he still made it feel like it mattered.
The parking at Apollo was a nightmare that day, I was late and flustered. But from the front desk to the nurses, everyone was calm and got me sorted. The place is big, but it feels clean and organized. It made a stressful visit much easier to handle. Dr. Venkataramana's clinic itself was quiet, which helped.
What I remember most is how he talked to my elderly mother. She was confused and scared. He didn't just talk to me; he knelt down so he was at her eye level, spoke slowly, and held her hand while explaining her medication. It wasn't just medicine; it was kindness. That meant more to our family than anything.
