Patient Feedback – Dr. Soundappan, Surgical Gastroenterologist
Royal Care Hospital
1. What was the problem you were having before you visited us?
Initially, I experienced pain in my hands and legs. We thought it might be a nerve-related problem, so we consulted a neurological hospital in Erode and received treatment. However, there was no improvement.
Later, I started experiencing a loss of appetite, a persistent feeling of nausea, and difficulty eating food properly. We revisited the hospital in Erode, where blood tests were performed. We were told that there were no significant issues. Medicines were prescribed to improve my appetite and digestion, but even after taking them, there was no improvement in my condition.
As my health continued to deteriorate, we were worried and unsure about the actual cause of the problem.
2. What was the confusion you had in trying to solve the problem?
Since there was no improvement despite the previous treatment, we decided to consult Dr. Soundappan, Surgical Gastroenterologist at Royal Care Hospital.
After conducting the necessary tests, Dr. Soundappan identified an infection in my liver. He prescribed medicines and advised me to take them for 15 days and return for a follow-up consultation.
After completing the 15-day course of medication, we visited him again. During the follow-up examination, we learned that my liver infection had worsened.
Dr. Soundappan immediately advised me to get admitted to the hospital for further treatment. Following his advice, I was admitted to Royal Care Hospital and received treatment under his supervision.
3. What was different and unique about getting treated by Dr. Soundappan at Royal Care Hospital?
Through further medical tests, we came to know that my liver had been severely affected by the infection.
Following Dr. Soundappan's advice, I stayed in the hospital and received treatment under his supervision. After three days of treatment, I gradually started showing signs of improvement.
At that point, we felt that we had made the right decision by consulting Dr. Soundappan. We regained our confidence and began to believe that I would recover.
After receiving treatment for approximately 10 days, the liver infection had reduced, and my health started improving.
We are sincerely grateful to Dr. Soundappan and the entire medical team at Royal Care Hospital for their timely diagnosis, continuous monitoring, and appropriate treatment.
4. Tell us the exact moment during your treatment when you felt you had made the right decision to get treated by us.
We were extremely worried that the liver damage might become so severe that I would eventually need a liver transplant. This fear remained in our minds throughout the initial stages of treatment, and my entire family was under considerable mental stress.
However, after receiving treatment at Royal Care Hospital under Dr. Soundappan's guidance, my condition gradually improved. The liver infection reduced, and I was able to recover sufficiently to return home.
It was at that moment that we truly felt we had made the right decision by consulting Dr. Soundappan and choosing Royal Care Hospital for treatment.
The improvement in my health gave us renewed hope and relief. The fear and anxiety that had troubled our family for so long gradually began to disappear.
We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Soundappan for his valuable guidance, timely medical care, and the confidence he gave us during this difficult period.
5. Tell us what life looks like now that your problem has been solved or is being resolved.
After going through such a difficult period, we are now feeling much happier and more relieved.
Initially, we were constantly worried about my liver condition and feared that I might require a liver transplant. My entire family was under severe mental stress, and we were uncertain about what the future would hold.
However, after receiving treatment under Dr. Soundappan's guidance at Royal Care Hospital, my condition improved, the liver infection reduced, and I was able to return home after treatment.
Today, we feel much more hopeful and peaceful. The mental burden that our family had been carrying has reduced significantly, and we are thankful to see the improvement in my health.
On behalf of my entire family, I would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Soundappan for his care, guidance, and treatment during this challenging time.
We will always be grateful for the support and hope he has given our family.
Thank you, Dr. Soundappan, and thank you to the entire team at Royal Care Hospital.

Heartfelt thanks to Dr. Soundappan Sir for his exceptional care and guidance. We discovered a liver mass incidentally while investigating my mother's fever, and the initial diagnosis came with a lot of uncertainty. Through relatives, we consulted Dr. Soundappan, and our very first meeting was a breakthrough. He explained the condition, the risks, the need for surgery, and the entire procedure with remarkable clarity and transparency. His honest and reassuring approach gave us the confidence to make the right decision. The surgery was performed exactly as explained, and my mother has recovered very well. We are truly grateful to Dr. Soundappan Sir for his expertise, patience, and genuine care. If you or your family have any liver-related concerns, I would highly recommend taking a second opinion from him. His honesty, transparency, and ability to make patients and families feel comfortable truly stand out. Thank you, Sir, for everything.

When we first came to Royal Care Hospital, we were overwhelmed by my father’s Hepatocellular Carcinoma diagnosis and unsure whether a liver transplant was the right choice, especially given his other health issues. We didn’t know what the safest or most sensible surgical approach would be. Things changed after we met Dr. Ilango, Dr. Hemamala, Dr. Soundappan and Dr. Abinaya. He and his team were incredibly thorough and attentive to even the smallest details, but what helped us most was how clearly they explained everything—from how the surgery would be performed to what the recovery process would look like, all in language we could understand. The turning point came when we were shown the complete surgical plan. ****** *** ********* ** *** **** ******** **** ** ********** **** ** **** ** *** ***** ****** Today, my father is steadily recovering, and he genuinely feels better thanks to the recovery steps the team implemented for him.
