Visited For Reduced VisionCataract Surgery
My name is Sheeba. I brought my mom who is diabetic patient for past 21 years. All of sudden her diabetic level has increased and finds some difficult in her vision. First time when we met Doctor he made my mom to relax. She was tensed a lot and scared for everything. Doctor encouraged her in his words by saying "its treatable and everything will be fine". These words has touched her and improved her confidence level. Even as her daughter I couldn't fix it. Doctor briefly explained the symptoms and effects and remedies. Doctor helped us in getting a Oct scan at Apollo and made the things very clear in what has to be done. The important thing is communication with my mom in Tamil was really helpful since if I explain her she won't even trust me. She finds its so comfortable. Thank you doctor for all your support and care for us. We were really pleased and happy with your cooperation.

I visited the clinic last week. I went to the reception and asked for an appointment. There was no one to check the temperature to the visitor. I was asked to by their mask. Only two people asked to buy masks; others were allowed to go with their own masks. The doctor and staff were fully protected with suite and gloves. But, they never cleaned with sanitizer the glove and they were touching the eye and so on. I was not happy with their process of handling during COVID. Staff can be a little more responsible. However, I am not complaining about consultation and the doctors' treatment.
