MGM Healthcare Malar Hospitals, Adyar

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

We visited Sr Eye Surgeon Dr Radhi Malar Anand between June 17,2025-July 3 2025 for cataract examination for my father Ramesh Chandra Bhatt(~70 years) age. Dr and her assistant Rama examined the condition and recommended to go for cataract procedure as left eye had 80% cataract build up and right eye has 40%

The procedure went smoothly.My father felt at ease throughout the surgery. The surgical team was professional, and the doctor was reassuring and explained everything clearly

My fathers vision has improved dramatically, and the colors are vibrant again. We highly recommend MGM Malar Hospital, Adyar and Eye Surgeon Dr Radhi for their excellent care, empathy, right guidance,regular follow ups and end to end ownership including insurance process

Dr Radhi recommended Mono-focal lenses for my father considering that he is aged and logically explained how at this age Mono focal lenses will suit him.

The entire process, from diagnosis to post-operative care, was top-notch. We appreciate the clear explanations and detailed instructions provided by the medical staff.

The doctor's assistant, Rama is incredibly helpful and supportive throughout the entire cataract surgery journey which involves check up deploying eye drops and post operative care.

The doctor's assistant was patient and took the time to answer all questions, calming nerves and making the patient feel comfortable and confident before and after the surgery.

Dr Radhi and her team provided excellent care, was always ready to help and provided clear explanations about the recovery process and medication, making the entire experience smoother and less stressful.

The cataract surgery was a success. We are grateful to Dr Radhi and her team for restoring vision and improving quality of life of my father

I'm not satisfied for visting this doctor for below reasons:

1- Doctor not speak like friendly, ** ****** **** * *** *****2- He didn't explain anything clearly just checked formally.

3- I went for nose problem he just checked with light and told me to take CT scan without inform anything. I went and take CT Scan for 4.5K.

4- After check with doctor he said there is a bone bend problem in nose so i need to admit one day in hospital for Laser surgery.

5- Till now I didn't get any clarification about my problem and what treatment he going to give me after I admit there

6- I asked for the cost when I admit in Fortis Hospital he didn't clarify the money how much iy comes. Without know anything How can I ready the money ??? He simply said if you have insurance we will claim that's it.

7- Doctor need to improve friendly discussion with patients. Then only we have share our problems to him freely.

8- Totally Today I wsate my Time and Money.

9- In Practo the fees shows 500/-. But they charged 700/- for consulting fee

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
