Visited For AcidityAbdominal Pain
Happy with: Explanation of the health issue
I like the way of doctor explanation and lifestyle balance. but I would tell you one thing about appointment, whenever I called most of the time no one is picking up the call for appointment. I have severe pain so visited clinic directly receptionist refused to consult with doctor even asking without doctor. instead she said you should call before 3pm but it's not mentioned any where, even doctor prescribed slip not mentioned oppointment timing. This issue should be resolved immediately. Without proper patient service, repeat patients may lose trust in the clinic. You are a very experienced doctor, and poor service from the clinic may affect your reputation.I have already severe health issues this experience is more frustrating me physically and mentally.

Dr. Kamalakannan has treated me for gastritis and is also helping me deal with the chronic issue of functional dyspepsia. I am also struggling with a health anxiety disorder which prompts me to be particular about the type of personality I seek in a physician. In addition to highest level of competence in their field, I earnestly seek compassion, patience, listening ability and strong ethics. I am very grateful to Dr. Kamalakannan who embodies all those virtues and for helping me to both clearly understand and overcome physiological & psychological issues that have been plaguing me for a few years now. Practo feedback mechanism helped me to discover him and I thank all patients who gave feedback since this helped me in my search for a suitable gastroenterologist. Through this feedback, I wish to suggest this truly great doctor for anyone seeking an excellent practitioner for consultation & cure. Also, i hail from Mahabalipuram (60km away from chennai) and have done both in person and video consultation with the doctor. I appreciate that i could consult from home when appropriate.
Visited For Constipation Treatment
Happy with: Doctor friendlinessExplanation of the health issueTreatment satisfactionValue for moneyWait time
My father had undergone complicated anal reconstruction surgery when he was 11 months old in Trivandrum. Now, he is 64 years old, and have been remaining with good health.Last month, he suffered from severe stomach pain and constipation for a week. We consulted our doctor in Trivandrum and as per advice, took a scan to find out that there is some growth in his rectal wall and was given enema temporarily to releive constipation issues and was recommended to consult a Gastroenterology surgeon. I took them to Dr. Kamalakannan for consultation. He listened patiently to everything what we had to say, learnt my father's medical history, examined my father and explained everything very well and said there seems to be no worrisome problems. Anyways to confirm, he advised to take a pelvic CT scan and results showed that there is no such growth. Doctor's examination was perfect and matching. Still to reconfirm, he conducted a colonoscopy and confirmed that my father is perfectly alright. He prescribed very few medicines for constipation and motion control. My father was very happy and finally, we all got peace of mind. We are highly grateful for his unblemished service.
