Dr. Nookinaidu Chitikela

I was recommended to Apollo Hospitals after being diagnosed with prostate cancer by another urologist. Then through known sources in the Doctor fraternity, who recommended Dr. N Naidu, I approached him with all my previous reports. He has taken the time to go through all the reports, explained the various treatments available for my medical condition and advised radical robotic prostatectomy (surgery for removal of the prostate gland). I was initially reluctant to get operated and had taken the advise of another couple of Doctors who gave their first preference to surgery. On being convinced and no other best way, as was initially informed to me by Dr. Naidu, I gained confidence in him and followed his advise from time to time. I was operated on 20th March 2022, Sunday, at Apollo Hospital, Visakhapatnam. The operation lasted for about four hours. I had never experienced any inconvenience post-operation and was able to sit the next day morning and was able to stand & walk by the next day evening. As per the medical norms and as was warned by Dr. Naidu, urinary incontinence was the issue, so had to use an external catheter. for two weeks. I requested Doctor if I could remove the catheter early, but he strongly rejected my request, stating that one should abide by the "shastra". Except for urinary incontinence, I am quite fine. It's six months now and am continent almost 90%. The best part of this Doctor is that he is available even over mobile when required unless he is busy with any operation. However, he calls back or responds over WhatsApp. We can understand a Doctors role and his tight timelines. He is cool, young and energetic efficient and experienced Doctor is the only experienced robotic surgeon in Vizag to my knowledge. He is very dependabele. I wish him to achieve more success in his career and pray to God for his welfare.

Waited for 1.5 hours and ended up leaving without seeing the doctor. They said he's in a surgery. What's surprising is that I got a call from Apollo, while I was in Apollo, asking me to be on time, when the receptionist already said doc is in surgery and won't be coming for another hour.

Extremely satisfied with the treatment. I consulted him for a surgery with all the test reports. He is much better than any of the urologists I was consulting in the past. On the very first visit, I have decided to go with him. Does not advise unwanted tests, doesn't dilly dally things and gives the right advice. He carried out the operation with utmost care. In fact it was a long procedure of 1hr 30 mins and not even a single sign of distress I could see in him. I was under spinal anaesthesia and could hear all that he was saying. He discharged me on the very next day. No complications after surgery. He is very patient and professional. If you are to consult for any urological issues, he is the guy and one can approach him without a second thought.

Not caring patient wast time and money not responding properly not caring also i enter room just 2mins he write the tlabets just he sad go that's it ****** **** ************ ****** ***** * *********
