Patient Experience
I'd been to three other doctors for this constant fatigue and stomach pain. They all said it was stress. Dr. Tatapudi at Apollo Vizag actually listened, asked a lot of questions I hadn't been asked before, and ordered some specific tests. Turns out it was a tricky thyroid issue affecting my gut. He explained it in a way that finally made sense. I'm on the right treatment now and feel like myself again.
Had to get a minor cyst removed. Honestly, I was nervous at first, but Dr. Tatapudi made it so straightforward. The whole thing at Apollo was quick—in and out in a few hours. The procedure itself was smooth, no surprises. He checked in the next day, which I really didn't expect. It healed up perfectly, just like he said it would.
The place is big and can feel a bit overwhelming, I won't lie. Parking was full when I arrived. But once I got inside, the staff at the front desk were really patient helping me find my way. The nurses in Dr. Tatapudi's section were kind, and the waiting area was clean and calm. It made the whole visit less stressful.
What stood out most was how Dr. Tatapudi talked to me. He didn't just look at his screen. He sat down, made eye contact, and actually heard me out. When I got confused about the medication schedule, he drew a simple little chart on a notepad. Felt like he was talking *with* me, not *at* me. That kind of care matters a lot.
