I went to Dr. Ammaiyappan for my mother's treatment. He systematically diagnosed the problem and explained why we need each scan and what we identified. It's been 5 months now and my mother is completely cured. He is very friendly and listens to the patient. I definitely recommend him for anyone and especially senior citizens.

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

I had consulted Dr. Ammaiyappan for severe pneumonia and breathing difficulty, and the treatment experience was truly excellent. From the very first consultation, he was calm, patient, and extremely reassuring. He explained the condition, scan results, and treatment plan in a very clear and confident manner, which gave a lot of confidence to our family during a stressful time.
His diagnosis was accurate, and the medications and treatment provided helped in a steady and quick recovery. What stood out the most was his compassionate approach, regular follow-up, and willingness to patiently answer every doubt without rushing. He is highly ************** soft-spoken, and genuinely cares about his patients’ recovery.
Thanks to his timely treatment and guidance, the pneumonia was managed effectively and recovery was smooth. I would strongly recommend Dr. Ammaiyappan to anyone looking for an experienced and trustworthy pulmonologist in Chennai for pneumonia and other respiratory issues.
I recommend Dr. Ammaiyappan Palaniswamy Chockalingam.
