I have visited doctor with my xray after a week of coughing. He diagnosed and explained the various possibilities and procedures. He also connected with the right set of procedures and doctors and labs to fast track the process.
He also explained why each medicine was being given, how it would help, and what lifestyle changes I needed to make. Because the explanation was clear, I felt more confident about the treatment and was more committed to following the advice.
That experience made me realize that a good explanation from a doctor not only treats the problem but also reduces anxiety and helps to stay calm.. we are in treatment with the oncologist but still he regularly follow up on my health progress which is very unique and makes me very comfortable.. I will wish him all the best and will definitely recommend him for all of my friends and families. Thank you Doctor..

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.

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
