Dr. Ventrapati Pradeep

I'd been to a couple of doctors about this nagging fatigue and stomach pain, and everyone just said it was stress. Dr. Pradeep was different. He actually listened to every little symptom I mentioned, even the ones I thought were silly. He ordered a specific test the others hadn't, and it turned out to be a tricky thyroid issue that was messing with everything. He explained it in a way that finally made sense. I'm on treatment now and feel like myself again.

Had to get a small cyst removed from my back. Honestly, I was pretty nervous about the whole thing. The procedure itself at Apollo was quick, and Dr. Pradeep talked me through each step—'just a small pinch now,' that sort of thing. It was over before I knew it. The follow-up was simple, and the scar is barely there. Sometimes, a straightforward thing is just a straightforward thing, and that's a relief.

The place is big, I got a bit turned around finding the clinic, but the lady at the front desk saw me looking lost and walked me right to it. The whole floor was clean and quiet, which helped calm my nerves. Dr. Pradeep's nurse was really kind, too. It's the little things—someone smiling, clear directions—that make a hospital visit less daunting.

What stuck with me about Dr. Pradeep was how he is with people. My mother, who's quite elderly, was his patient. He never rushed her. He'd sit down, look her in the eye, and answer all her questions in her own language, even the same one twice. He has a calm way about him that puts you at ease. You don't feel like just another file on his desk.
