Subbulakshmi Mam is not a doctor she’s a God on earth. I delivered my girl baby normally. It was a wonderful experience. She’s awesome and always smiling whenever you visit her even at odd hours. She’s very kind and explains everything perfectly and doesn’t take you to negative thoughts during entire pregnancy. She never does C-section unnecessarily as far as I have seen. She is very patient and waits for the labour to progress and make you deliver naturally.
Many patients keep complaining of long waiting time but there are reasons behind it. We don’t know when an in-patient will hav emergency and when she will be delivering. So the doctor herself doesn’t know when she will be held up in labour ward or OT. So there is no use in blaming the administration. They try to send all the patients correctly but delays happen and no one can help with it. Even I had to wait for long hours during my appointments but all the wait is worth when you finally hav your baby delivered by the doctor.
Hospital nurses may seem to be harsh at the beginning but the truth is they are so friendly and sweet and supported a lot during pregnancy and after delivering. They personally visit every patient and give the medicines and give advices of how to take care of your little one and help you with post delivery issues and address your concerns immediately to the doctor.
My little one was anaemic after birth and she had to be shifted to NICU. Doctor took great care and constantly kept updating about the child’s progress in her busy schedule.
Overall the entire pregnancy and delivery at the hospital was a great unforgettable journey and it is an excellent team work. I thank everyone in the hospital for all the things they did. I would definitely recommend this hospital for anyone in future and also I will be coming back here for my second baby too!!

“Toward the Healthier Womankind” Is their Moto and I think they mean it. We went through a very good experience of baby birth and we are so happy with the entire team.
Doctors: We were consulting both Dr.Subbulakshmi and Dr Arthi both were phenomenal. Both explain things deep and they answer all your questions. A lot of people talk about Dr SubbuLakshmi in their reviews I won’t deny it she is a master of her trade but I would like to recognize Dr Arthi as we spent maximum hours of consulting and Labor with her. She is been so Kind and friendly and she has the empathy towards her patients. Thank you Dr.Arthi!!
People talk about the wait time but I would say it’s worth the Wait.
Nurses: I would like to specially thank the nurses in the labor, they were so calm and so supportive during the painful hours of the labor. Post labor the nurses visit the room when the baby cries and help us out.
Facility: I would say that they do average on the facility side. No water outlets in each floor. Hot water not available throughout the day. Facility of the rooms are not so sophisticated for the price point.

Dr. Subbulakshmi was very kind and patient. She always had a smile for everyone and gives off positive vibes. Even though she had a lot of patients to see, she has always answered each question without rushing. A week before birth, she told me that I was well prepared for labor- both physically and mentally, after doing a pelvic exam. Until then, I was scared if I would be able to manage labor pain but that sentence coming from her gave me great confidence. The other team of doctors - Dr Aarthi and Dr Rexlyn were also incredibly friendly and had a cheerful smile during labor too. The nurses were very helpful and sweet during labor and post-partum period. I feel grateful to everyone for helping my daughter come into the world- without much stress. Epidural is available for pain relief. I don’t know if I would have managed labor pain without epidural. They also let husbands in to the labor ward and it was a great experience for both of us. They insist on exclusive breast feeding and I am told they also have a breast milk bank to help mothers whose milk hasn’t come in yet. Yes, the wait time is frustrating (May take even 4-5 hrs) but in the end it was definitely worth it.

I agree that it's not an easy way to find a special and kind doctor like her.But it would be helpful if we get a msg if doctor is held up with other activities and she is gonna come late.So that, the patients may plan accordingly.Most of her patients are pregnant women and it's universal that they may find difficulty in sitting, walking or waiting for more than 3 hours. Am in my early pregnancy and I personally don't know much about a pregnant women's difficulty in 2/3rd trimester.But 14 people who was waiting there had lost their patience. It's really a difficult task to get an appointment with a very good doctor like her and if 1 appointment gets lapsed due to this, we are about to wait for an other 1 week to consult her. I kindly request the administration to keep track of this and at least try sending a single msg before we start coming over there if doctor is late and held up with other operations or something. We women literally have patience less husband's nowdays..Can't get scoldings often due to this :)-:)-:)-

It's a very good hospital with very good and experienced doctor. Their way of checking a patient is unique and calm. The doctor is extremely good and experienced in handling even the complex deliveries. Especially Dr. Subbulakshmi Mam understands the patient`s needs thoroughly and gives them the right direction. Mam prescribes the tests and check-ups only as necessary. I highly recommend this doctor for couples who are trying to conceive or already conceived and looking for a best doctor. One of the best Gynaecologist hospital in Chennai with best homely atmosphere.
During my labour, she gave a fantastic support and hope, results delivery...I felt like a family member and her support any at time is out standing... Mam clearly explained in detail about each trimesters at every checkup. Overall we had a very great experience and I would definitely suggest her to anyone in search of a best Gynecologist and Obstetrician in Chennai.
Hassle free. Friendly staff. Amazing & awesome doctor.
Many thanks.

I have been married for 4+ years and was undergoing fertility treatment in X hospital for 2 years. I was really frustrated due to back to back injections for almost a year without no change in drugs. Knowing about this hospital through my friend, started consulting dr.subbulakshmi during mar 2018.she will examine you thoroughly once again through all the hormone tests and get back to u with what we need it.It was exactly after 7 months of her treatment i got conceived.Good thing about her during my fertility treatment is that she will change drugs for every month, answer as many questions we have very patiently and try every step stage by stage with detailed explanation.Most of my OP was in the evening time and seetha sister was too nice to give us updates frequently. Sister always have a smiling face even after late 11am and this gives positivity.
Moving to my delivery experience, i would say this doctor got a team of expert nurses only.My water broke down around 6am and visited to hospital.Had mild temperature bcoz of which they told i might end up in C section if it's not reduced.There was constant monitoring by team of nurses and encouraged me a lot through out the day keeping my energy level high.Kudos to sulekha sister for being with me whole day and extending her shift time for 3 more hours to do my delivery. pain was high, dr.subbulakshmi stepped in and within 15 minutes she holded my lil prince in her hand through normal delivery which i had never thought off.She is like a mother to me who gave the sense of motherhood which i literally wanted for 4+ years.
For those who are blaming this hospital for time management, i would suggest them to be patience and it's worth waiting to get what u u want.They are not making us to wait simply but there might be some emergency case or delivery or some consultation taking long time.
Only thing which we felt uncomfortable here is food not being provided but never mind we have swiggy and some good hotels nearby.
Thank you Dr.Subbulaksmi for my lil prince and i owe you for my lifetime

It was a wonderful journey. A trust on the hospital and doctor would make your delivery safe. In my case safe delivery by normal.
Happy to have such a wonderful hospital , Doctors and Nursing staff in my neighbourhood.
One might have good patience to wait for your turn to meet the doctor. Reception might be not favourable during checkup's but the delivery ward is equipped with all equipment and execute the procedure seamlessly. They give sufficient time for mother to delivery Normally. Instructions and guidance provided in all the stages of your pregnancy.

Latepost!!!!
Subbulakshmi maam is not only a specialist doctor, I would rather say she is a loving mother who cares patient like her own daughter. Iam truly blessed to have found such a loving doctor and have normal delivery which everyone is longing for. She give ears to minute details and ease the pain.
If you are looking for normal delivery ( unless it’s beyond our control) I would highly recommend Pankajam Nanganallur. Just go for it no second though needed.
Thank you so much ma’am.
Salute!!

I was in Singapore until 32 weeks, and started consulting Dr. M.S from 33 weeks (had an initial visit at 20weeks). Being my first pregnancy, I was concerned about changing hospital/doctor in the 3rd trimester but then ended up being very comfortable with her. She readily accepted the reports and inferences from my previous doctor and made the transition seamless. A lot of positivity and encouragement!
About the delivery - Dr.MS and her excellent team of doctors, midwives and nurses at Pankajam Memorial Hospital. I had a 23 hour labour after my water broke, they guided, encouraged and supported me throughout for a safe NVD. Even though the water broke before contractions had started (which puts a 50% chance for Csec), they give enough time for the mother for a normal delivery. Postnatal care at the wards was excellent too.
There is quite a bit of waiting time to see the doctor, but Dr. MS explains things patiently and spends a good time on each patient. The wait maybe a little frustrating, in the end its worth it. The hospital could improve on appointments and patient management.
I will heartily recommend Dr. MS :)
