Dr. Pradeep Palakonda

I was a total wreck before my appointment. First time seeing a doctor here and I had no idea what was wrong. Dr. Palakonda just had this calm way of talking that made me feel silly for being so nervous. Explained everything in simple terms, didn't rush me, and by the end I felt like I could actually handle whatever it was. The hospital is huge and a bit intimidating, but he made it okay.

Had my gallbladder out at Apollo last month. The worst part was honestly the first couple days after, just figuring out how to move without hurting. Dr. Palakonda and his team were really clear about what pain was normal and what wasn't. They gave me a solid plan for meds and told me exactly what to watch for. Check-up last week went smooth, he said I'm healing right on track. It's not fun, but they made the recovery part manageable.

Saw Dr. Palakonda for a stubborn sinus thing. Straight to the point, which I appreciate. Asked the right questions, gave me a prescription that actually worked. Parking at that place is always a nightmare, but the appointment itself was efficient. Got what I needed.

My story with Dr. Palakonda started about six months back. I'd been feeling run down for weeks, putting it off, you know how it is. Finally dragged myself to Apollo. The waiting area was packed, I almost left. But when I got in to see him, he spent a good twenty minutes just listening before he even picked up his pen. He remembered small things I'd said at the next visit. There was one Friday his clinic was running late—he apologized to each of us personally, didn't just blame the schedule. It's that kind of attention that made me trust his diagnosis. He's not just looking at a chart; he's looking at you.
