I am overwhelmed by the treatment and services rendered by Dr Parimalam and Dr Leonard. We have gone to many hospitals getting appointments from prominent doctors both in India and in abroad but all in vain. We came to know London Harley street clinic through one of my friends who also took treatment and blessed with two kids. We approached Dr Parimalam with previous reports. Dr Parimalam clearly said will go step by step. We followed the instructions given by both the doctors. Specific to mention that Dr Leonard before taking scan, Dr clearly explains the purposes and makes us to understand both positive and negative aspects. Both of them are approachable and they are trustworthy human beings. The IVF treatment and procedure was done by Dr Parimalam. We are blessed with a boy baby on March 8, 2024. We were longing and planning for a gift of child for almost 12 years. We thank Dr Parimalam and Dr Leonard for their continuous treatment and support. Both of them are very cool and calm persons. The nurses and staff assistants are also very helpful and they behave politely. We highly recommend London Harley clinic to anyone. We are always indebted to Dr Parimalam and Dr Leonard.

If you are looking for an OBG, who can be rated as best on ethics and professional behaviour then Dr. Parimalam Ramanathan is the right person. I lost my first child due to a gynaec (based on Perumbakkam Main Road), who had very insensitive approach towards patients and unprofessional/unruly behaviour. After scouting and interacting with various doctors on the OMR side (we consulted 12 doctors), we narrowed down on London Harley Street Women and Fertility Center. I told my sob story to Dr. Parimalam and I frankly spoke about my trust issues with doctor based on my previous experience. Dr.Parimalam assured her best. My treatment started with Dr. Parimalam and I was in my comfort zone because her approach is to advise you all the possible situation/options at every step so that we can take informed decisions. She always puts the well-being of the mother and baby first. Whenever she prescribes medicines/test/taking rest, she would brief me on why this test/medicine has to be taken the short/long-term implications. Never felt she is giving me additional test/medicine than required (because I also do google search parallelly based on my condition).Being a high-risk pregnancy, Dr. Parimalam would always monitor and track my health status. Unlike many doctors, she is available on Mobile/WhatsApp which is a big plus. Also, she remembers your case and need not remind the doctors again-n-again unlike many doctors.For me due to some complications, I had opted for a C-Section after lot of discussion with family. But based on her experience & my body condition Dr. Parimalam advised me that there is a high possibility for normal delivery and counselled me. I ended up delivering a healthy baby through normal delivery. Closer to the due date, Dr. Parimalam proactively inquired about my health and tracked it meticulously which is very reassuring.Another advantage going to LHS, is Dr. Leonard (Radiologist). * ***** **** *** ** *** **** *********** ** ***** he will spend lot of time during every scan and brief you about the baby’s growth which will be reassuring towards the 10-month journey. Due to my high-risk pregnancy I had to take couple of emergency scan closer to my house and at some of the best hospitals, I could see the difference in quality of work.If you are looking for a doctor who is high on ethics and professional behaviour, then it will be Dr. Parimalam Ramanathan. Pros:Very professional ApproachPuts Child & Mother well-being firstShe will educate your throughout the 10-month journeyCons:Whenever she is in procedure/treatment your mobile response might be delayed

I visited lhs during my pregnancy right from my 6th week. Dr. Parimalam who runs the centre primarily is an experienced gynaecologist. She takes personal care on the patients. She shares her personal contact number with her patients and can be approached anytime even via WhatsApp.Dr. Shivapriya who assists Dr. Parimalam is very polite, approachable and clears our tiny doubts patiently. Dr.leonard (Dr.Parimalam's husband) is the radiologist who handles the scans. He does all the scans in a very detailed manner. Even during peak hours he does not rush through the scan and makes it a point to explain each and everything to the patient clearly during the scan. Initially I had apprehensions that a male doctor is handling the scans. The staffs and the doctor respect our modesty and keep us in our comfort zone during the scans.Both the doctors seem to have practised extensively in London. They have carried all their rich experiences back to India.The place is very clean and well-kept and we dont get the sick feeling that we usually get at the other nursing homes. All facilities are available within the centre itself - medicals, a lab to collect blood samples, scan facility etc. They don't make you run around to other places for such things. They give high priority to emergency cases and handle them promptly. The cost of consultation and scans are reasonable.The other helper staff here are very polite and courteous. But they need to be more organised during peak hours like weekends. The main disadvantage is the lack of a proper appointment and tokenised system in maintaining the order of the patients. If someone from LHS reads the review, kindly consider implementing a token system. Including the waiting time, approximately it takes a max of 3 hours to finish a scan consultation and a max of 1 hour for just consultation. But it was worth the wait time. We just need to be mentally prepared to wait and respect others time as well.There is also a provision to attend special pregnancy yoga classes within the centre. Master Ramadoss from shanthi school of yoga conducts the yoga classes in the mornings. I have seen all the staffs and doctors working continuously from the morning even till 3 pm without taking a lunch break during the 15 times that I have visited the centre. Initially we were skeptical if we should go to this clinic because it was termed as a fertility center. But, Overall i got a very pleasant and satisfactory experience at the centre which helped me enjoy my pregnancy more. Lately we can see the centre gaining more popularity and a lot of patients pouring in.

the most unprofessional clinic I have visited so far.
my experience :
my appointment was for 10:30 AM today
I reached there at 10:25AM. After waiting for some half an hour one lady called my wife. I thought she is the assistant and will take the normal weight, blood pressure etc., but to my surprise she stated giving the consultation to my wife and later called me and started explaining me the course of action and suggested to do ultrasound. It's only when I asked her that I have booked the appointment to see Dr. Panimalar and I was promised on practo that Dr panimalar will see the case, then she told us that Dr. Panimalar will be coming in some time. After waiting for another one hour, i.e. at around 12 noon, we got the appointment with Dr. panimalar. She suggested to do ultrasound and asked my wife to drink water. After half an hour, my wife told me that she is feeling that her bladder is full and she can not hold it further. I requested the staff to make it a bit quick, to which they replied that within 5 mins they will call, but the y called only after 20 mins when my wife told that she can not hold it. The radiologist doctor was a nice person and did the things well. The doctor further suggested to do blood test and promised that the report they can verbally share by 7:30 PM over phone.
I asked the ultrasound report, to which they said that you will have to come on Monday to receive the same.
Then I went to the reception to pay the bill, after paying the bill I asked for receipt, to which they replied that bill you will get on monday. That was so unprofessional. I paid the amount for which I am asking the bill so that I can claim at my office. After I asked the reception that I need the bill now as I have paid the amount, they asked to wait for another 10 mins for bill. By that time it was 2:00PM. Thus for an ultrasound and consultaion and more importantly the bill, we spent 3.5 hours there and paid Rs. 2400.
This is not the end of the sufferings, as they promised that they will tell the HCG report over phone by 7:30 PM, I called them, to which they said they have not got the report yet and I will get the same on Monday. They are unprofessional to the limit that they can not understand that I was so deadly waiting to hear the report and some good news.
This was the time when I literally got irritated. Why should I visit a clinic, where the staff including the doctor are not professional enough to keep their promises.
Though I new that clinic is a bit costly still I visited the clinic thinking that I will be at a professional place as claimed by doctor in one of her reply to a Google review.
But I hardly found anyone professional and friendly there except the radiologist Dr Leonard I guess.

Myself and along with my wife Archana are really grateful to Dr. Parimalam and Dr. Leonard. They have been no less than god for us. Also would like to thank the entire staff of London harley (special mention Divya) for managing our appointments and required help with the medications and reports. My wife delivered twins under the professional guidance of Dr Parimalam. We were new to chennai and luckily landed up with London harley, Entire pregnancy though categorized under high risk was smoothly managed by both the doctors and though i am not qualified enough to judge skill levels here but trust me one can feel comfortable with both the doctors, they are among the best in their field & really down to earth, our experience had been really great. They are always available on call/wassapp when needed.
Would like to make special mention for Dr. Leonard. He would take the time and patience to explain the details to us. Entire pregnancy we trusted him only for the scanning details as our experience with some other doctors (when he was not available or when we were in the hospital) for scanning was not great.
Even a day before the delivery he took the time and patience to do the required scan for us in the hospital..my wife was really tense due to some reason and i still remember the smile and comfort when she saw Dr. Leonard in the hospital ward room to do the required scanning.
After delivery Archana went through a serious complication related to breathing and it was because of the prompt decision of Dr Parimalam and Apollo staff that she came out of it successfully.
Once again i would like to really thank both the doctors for the support and patience towards handling our queries. Its a bond that we share now with both you. Also thanking you on behalf of AADI & KABIR (Our twin boys)

Exactly a year ago I found this doctor on Practo with good reviews and my husband decided that we visit her.
A very friendly doctor I have ever met. She explains all the questions clearly and with lot of patience. She is available over phone almost all the time 24*7.
To have a happy pregnancy I would recommend to visit this doctor. She doesn't prescribe unnecessary medicines. And for particular tests to be done, she has adjusted according to our convenience.
Her husband,who is a radiologist there,is also very good. He explains everything very well and ensures we are satisfied before leaving the place. Even when doctor is not available, her child ensures to answer the phone and give a sweet response.
All the staff at the hospital are good and helping at all times.
Doctor has helped me a lot over the phone call and WhatsApp itself to take big decisions about my delivery (unfortunately I had to undergo my delivery at my native). Thanks for this doctor.
If you plan your delivery with this doctor, you will have an additional member in your family list and she will be someone who can never be forgotten for the treatment provided by her.

Our experience with Dr.Parimalam Mam was amazing.She is kind and very caring. She answers all the queries and clarifications at any time, even in her busy schedule. We had heard and seen many positive reviews about her before consulting her for my wife's second delivery and our experience proves the same. Her energy and enthusiasm are contagious. No matter how worried we are, her composed way of dealing with the patients and the confidence she holds will make you feel that you are in safe hands. That was the only one reason we decided to have the delivery in Chennai. During labor, the doctor and her entire team in Apollo Cradle were very supportive and encouraging throughout. No words will be enough to thank Dr. Parimalam & Dr Leonard and her team for bringing our boy to this world. We stay very near to LHS Clinic and When the pain started I was at office and doctor arranged a vehicle for my wife. She always enquire about the my wife and baby even after the delivery. I dont think any of the other doctors will do a follow up after the delivery. Thank you so much Doctor!

Thank God we found Dr.Parimalam. Since this was my first baby i was a little bit scared but she helped us get through each phase of pregnancy to ensure normal delivery. The doctor is very patient and explained every issue clearly whenever we had doubts, she even gave her personal number in case of emergency and even called us personally during the final stages of pregnancy to ensure that everything was fine that's how caring
she is with her patients.
The scan experience with Dr.Leonard was also great, he will thoroughly explain what he is going to show you before taking the scan so that you know why that scan is required. The staffs are also very courteous and helpful.
The medications are also very less and are prescribed only if it is really needed.
I would like to say my heartfelt thanks to Dr.Parimalam and Dr.Leonard for helping us deliver our little bundle of joy safe and sound.
If you are near OMR or even other nearby area don't think twice about visiting the doctor you will definitely have a positive experience.
