We went through a very difficult time when our daughter was diagnosed with a TB infection. In search of the **** care, we consulted several doctors at reputed hospitals. Unfortunately, most of them recommended extensive and stressful procedures that were overwhelming for us—both emotionally and financially.
Thankfully, we came across Dr. Ammaiyappan at the right time. From our very first consultation, he stood out for his simplicity, kindness, and approachable nature. He patiently listened to our concerns and reassured us, focusing not just on the medical condition but also on our daughter’s emotional well-being.
Instead of suggesting painful procedures, he prescribed a well-structured course of medication. With his guidance and support, our daughter recovered steadily and successfully.
Dr. Ammaiyappan is truly a compassionate doctor who understands the importance of both physical and mental health. We are deeply grateful for his care and would highly recommend him to anyone seeking a thoughtful and patient-centered approach to treatment.

I was admitted to Emergency at MGM Malar Hospital in a critical state. I was attended to immediately and Dr. Ammaiyappan took over the entire process, from performing a bronchoscopy and aspirating my lungs, and recommending the required tests and scans.
The diagnosis was acute allergic pneumonia, and Dr. Ammaiyappan very patiently and pleasantly explained the condition and the course of treatment.
The follow up reviews were also very pleasant and reassuring, and I have recovered well, thanks to him and the excellent care that I received at the hospital.
I was especially impressed by his patient and experienced manner, and humorous demeanour as well, *** *** ** ***** ********** ****** *** * ***** **********I shall be ever grateful and thankful to Dr. Ammaiyappan.🙏

We consulted Dr. Ammaiyappan for my mothers Asthma problems. We visited many doctors and struggling to find a solution. After meeting him, my mother started showing good progress within days of his treatment. We found the root case of her issue and now we are moving towards a permanent solution.
She was suffering from few more ailments as well and he referred us to the right consultants. He shows a lot of patience and care while interacting with my elderly parents.
I do not stay in chennai anymore and always had a guilt of not accompanying my parents during their hospital visits. Dr. Ammaiyappan ensures that he keeps me updated and took good care of my parents. It means a lot to me.
I very strongly recommend him.

Dr.Ammaiyappan is my son's pulmonologist. He treated my son's allergy asthma *** *** * ***** ****** ** ******* and strength when my son was hospitalized for post Covid treatment. From admission to discharge he kept us informed on every test and treatment given. He was our guarding angel during those difficult times.
And he took me under his wings, when I came to him, I was clueless with an unresolved post surgery issue (my surgical wound was only partially closed and healing was delayed by an year) he immediately diagnosed that my issues were relating to undetected dormant TB. He immediately put me under EPTB treatment. He monitored me with monthly tests and clarified my doubts then and there. Here I am after a year of TB treatment, healed and completely cured.
Many thanks to Dr. Amaiyappan🙏

We have been consulting with Dr. Ammaiappan for a long time, and he was the first doctor to correctly diagnose my father’s actual health issue. We are truly grateful for his care, especially during the recent critical episode my father encountered. The situation was almost out of control but the doctor ensured that the right treatment was provided at the right time. During the entire ordeal he was giving hope for the entire family and reassured on getting back my father on his feet.
He is known for his calmness, friendly nature, and the confidence he instills in his patients and their families that things will be taken care. Our heartfelt thanks to him for bringing my father back to stability during such a critical phase. We will always be grateful for his dedication and support.
