Hoped for better:Â Explanation of the health issueTreatment satisfaction
************* ** ********** *** **** *** *** ***** * ** ******* **** ********* my condition is still not cured even after 2 1/2 months, inspite of PRP Procedure :
1) He always have 10 of his students sitting with him while consultation, which makes one uncomfortable to discuss the issue. He did not take permission with me to keep those students sit there when I wanted to discuss my issue.
2) When the reports are shared, he speaks mostly with his students and takes classes for them using our scan, instead of speaking with the patient * *** **** ******* ***** *** **** ******** i* ** ** ** ***** ***** **** ** ******* *** ******** *** ******* ***** ******* ** **** ************ **** ** *********3) When his treatment for me did not work out and when I shared that the pain has actually worsened after treatment, as he had all his students their, he felt uncomfortable and he started concentrating to justify his treatment instead of concentrating on the reasons for not working. * *** ** **** *** ** *** ****** ** ********* *** ********** ** ***** ** *********
4) He has invested machineries to do PRP treatment and when I visited him, he immediately suggested me PRP treatments, without trying out other alternatives
5) Discharge summary contained few points which were wrong - like he mentioned that PRP was suggested after trying out Physiotherapy, I was able to walk properly after PRP etc., * ******** * *** ****** ** **** ******** *** * ***** ***** **** **** *** *** ********* ** *** ***** ***** ****** ***** *****
Overall, this is the place to be avoided if one expects quality treatment.

Happy with:Â Doctor friendlinessTreatment satisfaction
They say third time is the charm - Dr. Karthic Natarajan was the third doctor I consulted within a span of 3 months for a fix to my shoulder issue - I was diagnosed with " Adhesive Capsulitis" and I could sense that I was regressing in spite of several Physiotherapy sessions across various clinics in Chennai - that's when I heard about Dr. Natarajan from a friend and decided to come in to see the doc.
In my very first appointment he told me that my condition would need a mobilization under general anesthesia. To say that I was very anxious about the general anesthesia part would be an understatement - I was super scared - but everyone in the clinic was understanding and helpful - right from the friendly Mr. Anand and Sudha at the front desk to the quiet and competent Dhanya - who was so kind and reassuring to me when I was preparing for the procedure. 2 weeks after the intervention, I gained back 85% of range of motion - nothing short of a miracle to me. The remaining 15% will return under the expertise of Mrs. Sharma. Dr. Natarajan is a magician - he fixed me - I am testimony to his competence but what draws me to him is his smiling demeanor and ability to listen and not patronize and at the same time push and challenge me to work my muscles to maximize my range. I would highly recommend Dr. Natarajan and his team - in the next few weeks all my athais, my chittis and other relatives will be making appointments to see the Dr. Natarajan - don't say I didn't warn you!

Dr. Karthic Babu Natarajan patiently listened to my complaint and got to know past history. Saw all my reports carefully. Explained what needs to be done to overcome pain. I felt very relieved when he said there's nothing serious and with medicines and physical exercises, I'll be all right.
Dr. Brindha Sharma, the physiotherapy doctor, was very kind. Saw my reports, asked me a few questions to analyse and understand my problem well. Taught me exercises patiently. The way she explained things made me feel very comfortable.
The care and concern both these doctors showed was really commendable. I felt happy and satisfied that I came to the right place.
Staff at the reception counter were polite and pleasing. Overall, it was a good experience.
Thank you all.
