I would like to give my heartfelt thanks and gratitude to Doctor, during the Covid crisis when most hospitals are not open for General appointments , Doctor was available for the appointments. In the first appointment by looking at the scan, Doctor explained clearly my health problem and suggested a treatment plan. When I was in ICU, Doctor also kept my family updated on my health progress , I am deeply touched by his simplicity, humbleness and caring qualities . I pray to God for his long life, good health and all the happiness in his life and his service to the mankind. Thank you so much Doctor again for all your care and treatment for which I am indebted to you in my life.

During the lockdown when almost all hospitals and clinics had stopped OPD services, Dr.Narasimhan was one among the few doctors who was always available for consultation at both Apollo Main Hospital and at his clinic RRF India. I had a respiratory emergency and after futilely contacting other hospitals/doctors for treatment, finally by God's grace we found out about Dr.Narasimhan in the nick of time and visited him on the very same day. On the first appointment itself, he clearly diagnosed my problem and recommended a course of treatment. All throughout the treatment period, whenever we consulted him, he reassured us and gave us the confidence that it is a problem which can be treated completely. He never frightens a patient discussing about all the details of their condition. This is very important as only a positive mind can help with the recovery process. Just by consulting him I used to feel reassured despite the agony I was going through because of the illness, knowing that I am in excellent hands.

I Went there because of difficultyin breathing problem. The doctor asked me to wear a sleep monitor for a week and get back. The charge for it was Rs8500 which we haveto pay at the receptionist.he wrote for MRI(telling we will see if I can find anything).Took all the test which he prescribed
And when I visit back for the review he didn't even look at the test results he just said I have bronchial asthma just by chatting with someone from his ***** mobile
Honestly i just felt so ripped off. ** ********* ********* *** ********* ********* ** ****** ** **** **** ****** *******People go in doctors clinic with trust and when that trust is broken. I will never suggest this narasiman plumology doctor to anyone.
Anyone going in be careful.

A respectful and friendly doctor who clarifies all our doubts patiently. He goes through our previous reports /medication and treatment taken. He dint speak I'll about the meds given to me previously by other doctors. Doctors usually have that ego and will change the medication unwantedly. He's not that type at all. I was awed by that.
My 17 year long struggle with bronchial asthma was treated by him and I better now. He is a great doc and I definitely recommend him.
Except that apollo gives you appointment hours before doctors arrival. So we need to wait for long. And no token number or order. So don't be surprised if patients cut the queue n go before their turn.

** *** **** ***** *** ** *** * with 1% hope we have joined with the doctor, he saved our mother life without taking her to ventilator even though it is required. Hatsoff to the dr.narsimhan sir. Kind hearted , good human being and down to earth person.
consult fee is 1500. even if you are preregistered with apollo they make you register again and pay extra. after taking many expensive tests prescribed by Doc, he was in a hurry didnt explain anything, didnt answer questions.. just prescribed 5-6 medicines without clarifying what was wrong **** **** ******* **** ***** very unhappy overall with having chosen this .
