Patient Experience
I'd been to a couple of doctors about this persistent fatigue and stomach pain, and everyone just said it was stress. Dr. Panigrahi at Apollo Vizag was the first one who actually listened. He ordered some specific tests others hadn't, sat me down, and explained it was a tricky thyroid issue affecting my gut. It wasn't a quick fix, but having a name for it and a clear plan made all the difference. He just didn't give up.
Had to get a small cyst removed. Honestly, I was nervous at first—any procedure is. But Dr. Panigrahi walked me through the whole thing in simple terms, no rushing. The day of, the team was efficient, and the procedure itself was over before I knew it. Recovery was exactly as he said it would be. Sometimes simple things going right is a huge relief.
The parking at Apollo Arilova was a bit of a mess that morning, I won't lie. But once inside, the place felt calm. What really stood out was the front desk lady who saw I was anxious and got me sorted quickly, and the nurse who took my vitals was really kind. Dr. Panigrahi's part of a team that just makes the whole process less scary.
You know how some doctors talk at you? Dr. Panigrahi isn't like that. He pulls up a chair, looks you in the eye, and asks how you're *really* doing. When my blood pressure readings were high, he spent more time asking about my work stress than just writing a prescription. He makes you feel like a person, not a chart.
