Dear Readers
My entire family is indebted to Dr Ammaiappan for his extraordinary services to my ailing parents. I have been taking treatment to my father for the last two years at Fortis Malar, Adyar, Chennai. Despite the COVID lockdown and the difficulty to reach the hospital from Mar20, Dr is very kind enough to consult through WhatsApp and prescribed the medicines that too without any fees. My father is living in Cuddalore and am at Chennai. I could not able to reach my parents due to lockdown.
My father SPo2 was at 80% at some point in time and I could not able to do anything. Through the WhatsApp consultation by Dr and the support of O2 concentrator, medicines etc had saved my Father. Further, Dr has excellent networking and logistics for the medical equipment and support system etc. The contact details were provided and you need not run around and further stressing yourself to source them at critical times.
At the beginning of this year, my father was fallen sick due to fluid accumulation in the lungs and not being able to breathe comfortably. My Father was admitted at Fortis and because of Dr he was completely recovered after 5 days
The highlight of the whole episode was both of my parents were tested Covid Positive during 3rd week of Aug'21 in Cuddalore. I immediately consulted with Dr and rushed my parents to Fortis Malar in the next day due to Dr advice. At one stage my hope was falling down due to the admission of my Father in Covid-ICU for a week and my mother was in a Covid ward. The amount of stress I had undergone during the hospital admission period will not be forgettable throughout my life.
Dr was sharing the health conditions and briefed the progress of improvement of my parents every day. Parents were separated and my Father was in ICU and my Mother was in a Ward also made my parents shaky and worried lot. There was no communication between them.
My mother aged 70 was discharged after a week and my father aged 82 was discharged after ten days.
Without Dr Ammaiappan's unstinted support and courage to listen to all our pains with compassion and patience, the miracle of saving both my parents could not have happened. I am thanking the almighty for showing Dr Ammaiappan to my family to get rid of our pains/illness and saved my parent's lives.
I am praying to God for well being of Dr and his family and wish that Dr Ammaiappan should reach further greater heights and serve society for very long years.
Thank You

I am T.K.Lakshmikantan ,90 year old. I had 2 bypass heart surgeries and had COPD for past 13 years.
I have consulted Dr. RAJKUMAR from day 1 and have never met such a dedicated doctor. He is so systematic, thorough.He has great medical knowledge and expertise. I have been hospitalised quite a few times, with pneumonia for bronchoscopy, acute chest congestion. Everytime Dr. Rajkumar attended me promptly with so much of care,affection. He visited everyday even on holidays to ensure my path to recovery.He is such a great listener of patients complaints. He always make sure he addresses all my fears,inhibitions. He cleared all my doubts about every procedure,treatment. When i was depressed during long hospital stays,he consoled me like a son. I admire his calm and composed approach despite his very busy schedule especially during Covid days.
After 18 days of hospitalisation, I am back home to celebrate my 90 th birthday on Diwali. I owe this to him and his team whose professional and friendly care, is surely an epitome for great medical service to super citizens like me.
I pray God to grant him more National and International accolades and awards as such rare gems are hard to find these days.

We were 4 from our family who got hospitalised for covid in Malar in third week of Aug'21. Mom was critical and rest had various degree of lung involvement. The very first meet with Dr.Ammaiyappan, gave me the confidence that we all will sail through. Covid being such an unpredictable disease, not easy to understand its course and impact, Dr.Ammaiyappan explained about the disease, lung involvement based on CT scan, treatment course and gave the confidence to fight agaist the disease. He responded promptly to the whatsapp querries and provided guidance. Kept me updated about my parent's health condition. We got discharged in first week of Sep'21, with Mom having the longest hospital stay of 12 days, inclusive if 8 days in ICU. Dr. ammaiyappan's treatment in the right direction along with encouraging words helped all of us to overcome this disease. Even after discharge Dr.Ammaiyappan continues to answer our querries and help us cope up post covid effects. Heartfelt thanks to Dr.Ammaiyappan for being so kind in providimg clarificatioms and providing us the right treatment and support

My wife who is in treatment for cancer had CT scan that revealed lung infection ( Grounf Glass Opacity). we took rtpcr test that revealed she a had covid too.. Dr.Ammiayppan has been treating her for past 1 year...So when GGO happened and we got in touch with Dr.Ammaiyappan he immediately responded with tesrs and when covid positive came next day, advised to admit for treatment. though no bed was available, he helped us accommodate her same day and treatment started. that helped contain and cure in just 5 days.. Dr..was extremely kind and patiently listened to our queries and doubts despite being busy handling several inpatients.... He listens more and gives to the point the advise or clarification. I will rate one of the best doctors I have come across in 50 years... He is calm and composed and attends well and very patient friendly too. Best is his communication channel jn whstsapp or email is quickly responded...sometime even jn less than a min...Strongly recommend this doctor for treatment for pulmo related issues. regardsSubramanian
