ARKA CENTER FOR HORMONAL HEALTH, Adyar

Hi all,

Had been through a few doctors but this doctor,he is different.so wish to giveup a lengthy writeup.

.Very gentle and soft spoken doctor with patients irrespective of their age.Had seen a few busy doctors trying to rush up patients.No,absolutly he is not like that.

.Ample patience in listing patient's complaints.This does not mean he vl keep listing stories of the patient's and makes the other patients wait a long time.Nope.He leaves his ear while checking us.

.VERY MUCH APT in diagnosis.

.Not interested in running unwanted diagnositic tests except for the needed.

.You dont get a big list of medicines untill your condition demands, unlike few doctors do as per my experience.

.When i had to go for a second visit to show the test results i was late n as per the norms of doctors fee/hospitals i had to pay the consultation fee but he did not accept it on humanitarian grounds because i live far and was coming alone with my 6yr kid in cab and by the time i reach home it would 10-10.30 pm.

Honestly i just came across commericial doctors till date with hospitals ,ignoring private clinics, charging for every visit beyound the valid timeperod.This shows he is not a doctor with commericial mindset.

He remembers you by name and leaves a msg to ask hows the improvement. ON a regular basis he enquiries his patients whereabouts and suggests changes in medications if needed.

He even helps you as a psychiatrist to manage ur stress and anxiety.

I mean I never came across such goodhearted doctor.

What more can you except from a doctor who is apt in his diagnosis ,treatment and follow up with patient not just for a stipulated treatment period but beyound and during the pandemic.

I would certainly recommend Dr.Ammaiyyappan sir.

At the end I would just say a very down to earth,softspoken, friendly caregiving,highly efficient doctor.Certainly society needed such doctors.

Dr.Ammaiyappan has been a pillar of support after my father tested positive for Covid-19 three weeks ago! Let me briefly explain how.

Father tested positive on Jun 14 and based on online feedback in this platform, we setup a tele-consultation with Dr. Ammaiyappan on Jun 15. He gave us comfort to treat my father under home quarantine. He also immediately agreed to give a certificate that Corporation wanted to do home quarantine which even a reputed chain hospital refused! His diagnosis was spot-on in that lung infection will start only around 4-6 days and advised CT, helped with the diagnostic center as well. Father did have lung infection and he gave medications for that and also asked us to strictly monitor SPO2 levels using pulse oxymeter every 4hrs. We were cautioned that the levels shouldn't go below 94%. As a backup he also asked us to rent a oxygen concentrator which came in handy later. Daily at night I would send the day's SPO2 readings to him and he would promptly respond over whatsapp. That way he was available throughout giving timely advice. The following Friday night (Jun 19) SPO2 levels dropped below 94. On Sat morning (Jun 20) he advised us to hospitalize my father while using the oxygen concentrator in the meantime to supply external oxygen.

Father had to be hospitalized for 2 weeks in a hospital (where we were able to secure a bed) where he was not consulting. Even during this time he constantly advised us and gave reassurance during difficult times. He is always available over whatsapp which is not the case with many doctors. In spite of the fact that he is a busy person treating Covid patients at GH and elsewhere he was also available for calls when critical advise was needed. Except for the first time he even refused to take consultation fee for all the whatsapp consultation and advise we received. When insisted he simply said he wants the pandemic to get over and is treating old patients as a service! Hats off to you doctor...you are a rare gem in this profession!

My father has now recovered and is back home. For us Dr. Ammaiyappan has truly been a Godsend during a critical moment in life! Thank you so much Doctor! Thanks also to this online community for the feedback that prompted us to consult him in the first place :-)

Regards,

Sathish

My wife developed breathing issue on March 20, exactly few days before the nationwide lock down, and it was severe. We were running post to post within city for doctor consultation and we couldnt get any appointments. She she continued to have discomfort, we were clueless. Fortunately, we consulted Dr. Ammaiyappan and that has made all the difference. He asked us to do couple of tests , X-rays and explained us in detail the diagnosis and the what we should be following. If not for the Doctor, we might not have released we had a problem for months. Doctor was available anytime and patiently cleared all our doubts multiple times over call and whatsapp and went beyond the call of duty, in spite of working in GH, and treating patients for Covid 19.

We couldn't have survived the pandemic without Doctors help and support. My wife again developed fever for almost a week, he promptly asked to take CT, Blood test and even asked to do a blood test again to make sure every parameters are expected. We feel really lucky to have consulted with the Doctor, we could not imagine what we could have done had we didnt get his service.

We are truly grateful for Doctors service .

I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Ammaiyappan Palanisamy for the exceptional care and support he has given me throughout my treatment journey.From my very first visit, what stood out was his calm, patient, and reassuring approach. He took the time to listen carefully, understand my concerns, and guide me step by step with clarity and confidence. His ability to diagnose my condition with precision and handle it with such steady professionalism truly made a difference in my recovery.More than just his medical expertise, it is his compassion that sets him apart. He never once made me feel anxious or overwhelmed. Instead, he constantly encouraged me, giving me the confidence and strength to stay positive throughout the process. His friendly nature made every consultation feel comfortable and safe.What touched me the most is his genuine care beyond the clinic. He consistently checked in on me, even following up personally if I missed a visit, ensuring that I stayed on track and felt supported at every stage. That level of dedication is rare and truly admirable.To me, he is not just a doctor but a guiding and caring presence-someone who treats his patients like family. I will always be grateful for his kindness, dedication, and unwavering support.Thank you♥️, doctor, for everything you have done for me.
