Visited Dr. Sivaraman B (Orthopedic surgeon) For partial hip replacement
Happy with: Doctor friendlinessTreatment satisfaction
Sharing the experience of getting my 86 year old father treated for partial hip replacement after a fall.
Dr Sivaraman advised us to directly reach to the Apollo OMR and communicated to his team to be ready. We reached within an hour to the hospital and his team of doctors immediately initiated the preliminary diagnostics. Dr Srivaraman arrived at the hospital by then and clearly explained us about the injury and the course of treatment.
When we were going through this trauma Dr Srivaraman instilled us with great confidence and assured us that my father will be able to walk with a little support in about six weeks. Dr Srivaraman patiently attended to our worries. He clearly explained the procedure and also advised us on the risks and precautions. Immediately after the surgery he explained the success of the surgery, advised the next course of action was in constant touch.
Iam thankful to his team as well. Throughout our hospitalization for the next three days his team was constantly monitoring my father. They were able to motivate and make my father take a few steps with support over the next three days. The best part of the connect with the doctor was his genuine concern after the discharge from hospital.
Dr Sivaraman was constantly in touch with me over a phone call or through WhatsApp. There were times when I have sent him a message with a doubt, and he would call me back as late as 10 pm or even in morning at 6.30 am on a Sunday. Every alternate day he was monitoring the progress over phone with me as well as through his team who would attend to us at home for dressing and physiotherapy.
Now it is 8 weeks post-surgery and my 86-year-old father is able to resume all his activities and walk inside the house with the help of a walker. Doctor has even certified that he is even fit to undertake long distance travel by car which we intend to do next month.
Overall I would rate Dr Sivaraman one of the friendliest, yet most professional doctor I have met so far. The confidence that he provides, the assurance and the approachability I guess there is no match to him.
Thank you Doctor.

Visited Dr. Ramamurthee Kannaiyan (General Practitioner) For Fever

Hoped for better: Explanation of the health issue
Extremely unhappy with the doctor. He was totally unwilling to listen to our concerns and was more keen on prescribing a lot ** ******** diagnostic tests, and was more keen on admitting us. My husband had temperature of 99 (it was the 4th day or recurring fever but the fever was dropping) and I am in 8th month of pregnancy. We told him that we can't admit him at the earliest as I am alone at home, and asked his suggestion. But he refused point blank to even say a single word as he figured that we were not willing to get admitted. Never seen such a doctor in my entire life who is not willing to listen to the concerns of the patient.

Hoped for better: Explanation of the health issue
Reference No My UHID AC01.0003479023 :
I underwent Renal Biospy on 12th October 2017 and my reports were expected on 16th october but till 20th october 17 i did not get my reports. In between i did 4 emails to Dr and about 20- 25 calls to his secretary but no reply.
Now after writing to the guest relation department I got my report but who will prescribe me further medicine.
If Dr does not have time to go through the reports and prescribe timely medicine than whats the use.
I have spent 20000/- in this biospy but the service of Apollo has gone down.
I hope I will be prescribed timely medicine .

I had gone to consult with Dr. Usha Ayyagari at the recommendation of my general physician. I had taken thyroid tests and wanted her opinion. How much ever I was worried before , the session on the contrary went like a breeze. The doctor arrived early before her appointed time! She was very meticulous in listening and evaluating my case. She explained everything with patience and care. I somehow felt reassured and happy after getting my doubts cleared on the subject. She suggested a few lifestyle changes to help my case.
On a side note, my thyroid levels were completely normal and I did not require any medication to stabilize it further.
Overall, I would say, Dr. Usha 'LISTENED' to me patiently, never once lost her cool over my ridiculous panic-filled questions, answered every single question/doubt in detail with medical facts and made my visit , worthy and fulfilling.
I would definitely recommend her to anyone who might consider visiting her.
