Good human being and very nice talking . Dr treatment very nice. Clinic very clean .front receptionist nice talking
I was suffering from some chronic problem for some time. I have visited many doctors across Chennai and got almost all the tests done for the problem. Each one gave me different diagnosis and antibiotic treatment accordingly. At last, I saw the reviews online and consulted the doctor in his clinic. He just saw me for a couple of minutes and made the exact diagnosis. * *** **** * ** ******* ***** **** **** * ****** ********* I am giving this review after totally confirming that I am absolutely fine. I am very thankful to Dr. Venkatesh Munikrishnan. I would happily and confidently recommend him.

Don't book appointment .I booked appointment at 11:30am and went to hospital.Doctor still not available till 3 pm . They made us to wait more than 3:30 hours . They didn't even inform prior whether doctor went for emergency or anything.After a long wait we went to see the doctor .But he is not responsive to our doubts and complaints.Please don't go to see this doctor it's utterly long of time and money .I have ever seen who is not responsible doctor or hospital ambience to patient .

It wasn't a quite pleasant experience, visiting the doctor.. Had the appointment fixed at 6PM IST, but then have received a call from clinic (at 4PM) to visit at 4:30 PM itself, with the reason stating, doctor would be busy in the evening. Had to rush clinic, but was asked to wait(almost every patient waiting) about an hour, with doctor not being engaged with any of the patients.
The fee being on a higher scale (1000 per patient), which is quite expensive ** ********** **** **** ******* ** ***** the expectation on doctor would on the par level. There wasn't any any check up done, instead taken up the heath grievances from the patient orally and just suggested to come next day again with CT scan reports in hand. The discussion hasn't even lasted for 5 mins to pay 1k with the feel of unwillingness.
Have referred another expert for the same, who has done a thorough checkup, with patient recovering from illness satisfactorily through his medicines, without hefty investments on CT scan.
Altogether, i would never suggest visiting this doctors to friends/family.

I had a piles operation one year back. I was feeling weird during bowl moment for few days now. so I was scared it has come back. I visited the doctor and he examined and said there is nothing wrong and he did not even give any medicine. I have seen doctors who generally give pills even if there is no issues. He was two friendly and also explained how it happens what to eat to avoid in future. very good experience.

Satisfied with the approach and diagnosis ! We are yet to complete the screening tes and treatment .. overall Good experience
He just tested the affected area and said nothing to worry and prescribed some medicines.. Will post my condition after taking medicines.. His words give me some hope and he clearly explained that I am completely normal.. I was worrying by studying different things through various websites.. pls stop this behaviour and consult with this doctor.. ***** *** ** ** ** ***
