Dr. S Anil Kumar Patro

I've been seeing Dr. Anil Kumar Patro for my blood pressure and general health for about eight years now, ever since he was at his old clinic. He moved to Apollo, and I followed him there. That's the thing—you find a doctor who listens, who remembers your history from one visit to the next, and you stick with them. He's never rushed, even when the waiting room is busy. I don't need a fancy diagnosis; I need someone consistent who I trust to keep an eye on things, and that's him.

My 7-year-old son had a high fever that just wouldn't break, and we were really scared. Dr. Patro at Apollo was so calm with him. He didn't just talk to me; he got down on my son's level, showed him the stethoscope, and made him laugh a little. He explained everything to me in simple terms—what virus he thought it was, why he wasn't prescribing antibiotics yet, and exactly what signs to watch for. He gave me his direct line for follow-up. We left feeling heard and, honestly, much less panicked. My son's fine now, and asks if we can go see the 'nice doctor' again for his next check-up.

Had a bad stomach thing last week. Went to Apollo, saw Dr. Patro. He was straight to the point, asked the right questions, gave me a clear prescription and diet advice. No fluff. Fixed me up in a couple days. Good doctor.

I went in for what I thought was just lingering fatigue after a cold. Dr. Patro, though, he listened to me list off my 'little' symptoms—the tiredness, some weight loss I'd brushed off, how I felt more thirsty. He leaned back in his chair and said, 'Let's not assume it's just the cold. Let's check a few things.' He ordered some blood tests I wouldn't have thought to ask for. Turns out, my sugar levels were way off. He called me himself with the results and walked me through the next steps calmly. The clinic was running late that day, so I waited a bit, but once I was in with him, he gave me his full attention. That thoroughness, that willingness to look deeper, probably caught this issue months before it became a real crisis for me.
