Happy with: Doctor friendlinessExplanation of the health issueTreatment satisfactionValue for moneyWait time
I had twisted my ankle and was in severe pain. I had fixed an appointment with Dr. Nandkumar at Helios Hospitals. The staff were very friendly and were prompt in putting me to the doctor. I was requested to take an X-Ray and it was confirmed as a fracture. Dr. Nandkumar explained the recovery period and was very informative and friendly. My follow-up was always on schedule and my recovery was quick. I would highly recommend Dr. Nandkumar for anyone.
Doctor treated me very well. But the receptionist at helios hospital velacherry is very unprofessional and rude to all patients. She asks the patients about the entire medical history and the purpose of visit. I think its a patient's right to discuss his/her ailments only with the corresponding doctor and not to a receptionist. She also has no rights viewing the patient's scan reports/xray/any medical reports infact.
Hoped for better: Explanation of the health issueTreatment satisfactionValue for money
I took my 78-yo mother to Dr.Nandkumar Sundaram when he was consulting in Fortis Malar in Chennai. She had some joint pain. Dr.Nandkumar asked us to do some tests and Xrays and told us that the ball-socket replacement she had 1 year before has malfunctioned and if she does not have another surgery immediately she will be bedridden. We had doubts and went to another doctor for second opinion by taking tests again since Dr.Nandkumar would not give us the xrays and other test result. The new doctor said she had arthritis and her ball and socket was perfectly fine. I would never recommend this doctor to my enemy.
