My 6-year-old son had repeated abdominal pain episodes. After evaluation, Dr. Makan recommended a minor procedure to address the underlying issue. She took time to explain everything in simple language so both we and our child felt comfortable. Recovery was gradual but steady over the next few weeks. Follow-up visits ensured his digestion and overall health were improving.
When we noticed a small swelling near our 4-year-old son’s groin area, we were unsure how serious it was. Our pediatrician referred us to Dr. Apoorva Makan. She examined him gently and explained that it was a hernia that would require surgery but was a common condition in children. As parents, we were nervous about anesthesia and recovery. The procedure was completed smoothly, and our son was discharged the same day. The first couple of days required rest, but he returned to normal play surprisingly quickly. Follow-up ensured proper healing and reassured us that everything was progressing well.
My 10-year-old daughter suddenly developed severe abdominal pain one evening. After evaluation at the hospital, Dr. Makan suspected appendicitis and advised immediate surgery. Those hours were stressful for our family. She explained the situation clearly and reassured us about the procedure. The surgery went smoothly, and my daughter stayed under observation for a couple of days. Recovery during the first week required careful diet and rest. Within two weeks, she was back to school.
When my daughter required surgery for a congenital condition, I felt extremely anxious as a mother. Dr. Makan spoke calmly and explained each step of the process.

Recovery took a few weeks, and regular follow-ups helped monitor her progress carefully.
We consulted Dr. Makan for a second opinion regarding a pediatric surgical issue. Another hospital had suggested immediate surgery, which made us anxious.

The surgery later went smoothly, and our child recovered well.
My 8-month-old baby required a small surgical procedure, which was extremely stressful for us as parents. Dr. Makan reassured us and explained the anesthesia and recovery process carefully. The surgery was completed successfully, and we were able to take our baby home the next day. Within a few days, the wound started healing well. Her calm approach made a difficult situation easier for us to manage.
My nephew was diagnosed with hydrocele during a routine pediatric visit. Our family was worried because the word surgery was mentioned. Dr. Makan explained that the condition is quite common in young boys and usually treated with a simple procedure. The operation was completed without complications, and he returned home the same day. Within a week he was active again, which reassured all of us.
Our newborn had an umbilical problem that required surgical evaluation. As first-time parents, we were extremely anxious about even a small procedure. Dr. Makan patiently explained the condition and how it could be corrected safely. The surgery was done successfully, and the hospital stay was short. The first few days involved careful wound care, but recovery was smooth. Having clear instructions for home care made the situation easier to handle.
My 5-year-old daughter needed evaluation for a small lump. Dr. Makan handled the consultation gently so my child did not feel scared.
