      Hi everyone, it is great pleasure to share my experience with Dr. Raja Mahesh(Nephrologist - Apollo, Greams Road). His best quality is he understands you and reads you well. He & his team takes care of everything. I have gone to him in sooo much pain but once I talked to him & listened to him I felt much much better. He is the ONE to treat Medically & Psychologically. After my transplantation, I'm in touch with sir everytime for medicine monitoring based on blood reports. In this regard I have to mention Mr. Shiob's name (Dr. Raja Mahesh sir's PA) who is bridge between me & Doctor. I'm Very much thankful to Dr. Raja Mahesh and his entire TEAM.
