Dr Balaji is a Surgeon with empathy. Sir guided us and gave strength before and after the surgery. It is the emotional trauma that wreaked havoc our family after realizing that a beloved person in my family got affected with the dreadful disease in the form of epithelial cancer.

I have gone to this Doctor for post surgical reviews (removal of submandibular glands which had a growth ) and I have been a regular patient for the last 3 years. I am able to directly interact with the Doctor over phone and send him whatsapp messages. I call him and fix up an appointment with him keeping in mind his as well as my commitments and then proceed to the hospital. I have never seen irritation in his tone. I have shared lab reports through electronic media and get his inputs when the required tests have been done after the review. I am not treated as a layman and when I ask him questions, I get appropriate explanations.
My happy & contended life almost came to a halt when i was diagnosed for Cervix Cancer. As we were new toChennai, we were calling Apollo Hospital frantically to get through to a good oncologist.But, due to covid, we were not given any priority . Somehow after a lot of hue and cry we got the mobile number of Dr. Balaji.R.
