Happy with:Â Treatment satisfaction
Excellent doctor no doubt. Treated for Hyperthyroidism. We need to be patient during the treatment process and everything will be fine. His guidance throughout was fabulous.
Very patient in listening to what the patient has to say , spends time and also ensures to go out of his way in advising the do's and dont's. Dr.Ram also is very friendly that gives you a comfort level to consult with. He also does not unnecessary prescribe medicines and provides what is needed. He also provides guidance on what tests need to be done time to time. One of best doctors that I have come across and will continue to go to him for my medication . You will have no regrets since he puts you on the right track . A big thank you to Dr Ram for getting my diabetics under control in such a short period and I followed his advise which showed the results.

I'm a type 2 diabetes patient . Today was my 1st visit to the doctor . He was so rude , he wasn't interested in hearing my past issues , he was obsessed with blood tests that too in his clinic , I paid 1000 Rs before consulting him which was of no use . So I wouldn't recommend .👎

Time Keeping (0/5) The first thing you expect from an "experienced" doctor is to respect time and "Time Keeping". Our appointment was at 2pm. We were expected to be 15 minutes early (which we were). Guess what its 2pm and the doctor hasnt even arrived. Ok doctor arrives at 2.15pm (traffic in chennai sooo understandable). Can we see the doctor now (despite him being late). ** ****** ****** ** ******** ***** **** **** **** **** ** **** ************ ** **** **** ****** ******** *** **** ***** ** ******** *** ******* What's worse is our appointment was at 2pm and there were 2 patients ahead of us waiting for the doctor. Saw the doc at 3.20pm and he didn't even care to apologise for making us wait for 1hr . Treatment: (3/5)He didn't explain the seriousness (if any) of the issue. Just asked us a couple of questions and then he prescribed some medication and a test. If we asked a question - we would get blunt replies.

This is our 3rd visit this yr for my mother. Since we visited 3 months back we have taken blood sugar fasting PP and hba1c tests for average sugar level.
*** ** ****** **** **** *** ******* ********* He didn't do any check-up with my mother. I felt like I should have gone only with reports, previous visit prescription and without patient. ******* ******** ******* *** jus asked to continue the same medicine, we have to wait 1hr and pay Rs 400 fee.
He then asked suddenly do you maintain glucometer chart. I was clueless what was that. I'm hearing it first time.. even though we are using glucometer evry 2 weeks we don't maintain charts, **** **** ** *** ***** ** ***** **** *****
Also he wanted to do test only in his lab next time. I told we have good labs near my home but he doesn't agreed.
I will not visit this clinic again.
