Patient Experience
I'd been to three other doctors about this constant fatigue and stomach pain, and everyone just said it was stress. Dr. Lakshmi Mythili actually sat with my file for a long time, asked about things no one else had, like a trip I took years ago. She ordered a specific test I'd never heard of. Turns out, it was a tricky parasitic infection that was easy to miss. She called me herself with the results and explained the treatment plan so clearly. I finally feel like myself again.
I needed a basic skin cyst removed. Honestly, I was more nervous about the hospital experience than the procedure. But with Dr. Mulam, it was just... straightforward. She marked the spot, the local anesthetic pinched for a second, and she talked to me about my kids' school while she worked. Before I knew it, she was putting on the bandage. The whole thing took maybe twenty minutes. It healed up perfectly, no fuss.
The Apollo facility in Arilova is huge, and I got a bit turned around finding the clinic. One of the floor assistants saw me looking at the map and walked me right to the door. The waiting area was calm and clean, I appreciated that. When I saw Dr. Lakshmi, she was really efficient but didn't rush me. The nurse who took my vitals was also very kind, which helped settle my nerves before going in.
What stuck with me most about Dr. Mulam was how she listens. I'm an older patient, and sometimes I feel doctors just nod while typing. She puts her computer aside, looks right at you, and lets you finish. When she explained my new blood pressure medication, she drew a little diagram on a notepad about how it works. It felt like she was talking *with* me, not *at* me. That kind of respect means a lot.
I'd been to three other doctors about this constant fatigue and stomach pain. Everyone said it was stress. Dr. Srinivas Rao actually sat and listened to everything, even the small stuff I thought was silly. He ordered a specific test the others hadn't, and it turned out to be a tricky thyroid issue combined with a mild ulcer. 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 small cyst removed from my back. Honestly, I was pretty nervous about the whole thing. The procedure itself at Apollo was quick, maybe 20 minutes. Dr. Virothu talked me through each step as he did it, which really helped. The parking lot was packed that day, but once I was in, everything moved smoothly. No fuss, no complications, just in and out.
The place is big and can feel a bit overwhelming, I won't lie. But the front desk ladies were really kind when I was confused about where to go. The nurse who took my vitals noticed I was anxious and just chatted with me about regular things until I calmed down. It made the wait for Dr. Virothu much easier. Good people make a difference.
What stuck with me was how Dr. Rao treated my elderly father. He didn't just talk to me; he got down to my dad's eye level, spoke clearly and slowly, and checked if he understood. He even drew a little diagram on his notepad. It wasn't just about the medicine; it was about seeing the person. That kind of respect is rare.
Had a persistent cough for weeks. Dr. Malladi saw me at Apollo Vizag, got straight to the point, ordered the right tests, and had me on a treatment plan in one visit. No fuss, just fixed it. Exactly what I needed with my schedule.
At my age, a hospital visit can be quite daunting. Dr. Aishwarya Malladi was very kind and took the time to explain everything about my medication in a way I could understand. The staff at Apollo was also very helpful. I felt properly looked after, which is a great comfort.
Look, I was feeling run down for ages. Went to see Dr. Malladi. She listened, figured it out, gave me a plan. Simple. Feeling much better now. Would recommend.
I was really nervous going in—first major check-up in years. The waiting area at Apollo was busy, I’ll admit. But Dr. Malladi changed the whole vibe. She didn’t just rush through a list; she asked about my work stress, my sleep, things I didn’t even think were connected. She remembered small details from my file and explained the ‘why’ behind every suggestion. Left feeling like someone actually put the pieces together, not just checked some boxes.
Had my gallbladder out at Apollo Vizag. The first couple days after were rough, I won't lie. But Dr. Sumanth and his team had a clear plan for the pain. They checked on me often, adjusted things, and explained what each ache probably was. It wasn't just pills; it was knowing what to expect. I'm moving around much easier now, week by week.
Appendicitis. Went to Apollo in Arilova, saw Dr. Vankineni. He explained the surgery quickly, no fluff. Got it done. Pain was managed. Follow-up was clear. I'm back to work. That's it.
I was quite nervous about my hernia operation. Dr. Sumanth has a very calm way about him. He listened to all my worries about the recovery and never made me feel rushed. The hospital was busy—I did wait a bit for my pre-op tests—but once I was in his care, I felt safe. The pain after was less than I feared, and the nurses were kind. I'm healing well, and I'm so grateful for his gentle approach.
Finally got my knee sorted! Saw Dr. Sumanth Vankineni at Apollo Health City. After years of putting it off, I was just so ready. The surgery went smoothly, and the difference is already huge. The physio is tough, but knowing the worst is over is amazing. The whole team was great, really positive. I can walk without that constant grind now. What a relief!
I'd been to a couple of doctors about this nagging fatigue and stomach issue, and everyone just said it was stress. Dr. Chapara was different. He actually sat and listened, asked questions about things no one else had. He ordered a specific test the others hadn't thought of, and it turned out to be a tricky thyroid problem that was messing with everything. He explained it all on a notepad, drawing it out so I could understand. Finally felt like someone had found the right puzzle piece.
Had to get a small cyst removed. Honestly, I was nervous at first, but the whole thing was so straightforward. Dr. Chapara talked me through each step before he did it, which helped a lot. The procedure itself was quick, and he checked in the next day to see how the healing was going. It was just a simple thing, but he treated it with real care. No fuss, no drama, just good, clean work.
The Apollo facility in Arilova is really something. It's big, so finding the right wing took a minute, but once I was there, the front desk people were great. The nurse who took my vitals had a nice way about her, made a little joke to ease the tension. The place feels calm and clean, which matters when you're not feeling great. Dr. Chapara's clinic there runs like clockwork, but the staff don't make you feel like just another number.
What I'll remember most is how Dr. Chapara talks to you. My dad was the patient, and he gets confused easily. Dr. Chapara never talked down to him. He'd look him in the eye, speak slowly, and repeat things without a hint of impatience. He has this quiet, steady way that just makes you feel safe. You can tell he's really thinking about the person in front of him, not just the chart.
