Basavatarakam Indo American Cancer Hospital & Research Institute, Banjara Hills

Dr.Rakesh is an accurate professional who persistently focuses on providing the best medical care to his patients. My wife (46 years) was detected with stage 3c ovaries cancer at the time when we came to Hyderabad and she was treated for five months under the supervision of Dr.Rakesh at Basavatarakam Hospital, Hyderabad.

At the end of the day as ordained by the divine, and as our hearts filled with the sense of relief, we retire to our houses having been sheltered at his most hospitable sanctum sanctorum. We felt that we should tender in few words our gratitude for his human service. I will be failing in my duty if I fail to acknowledge my feelings without thanking Dr.Rakesh Pinniti for his noble service.

Under the treatment of Dr.Rakesh my wife underwent 6 chemo’s. He patiently explained all possible options of treatment. As per his counselling, we decided to go for Hipec surgery (where in during surgery also one chemo treatment she has to undergo) for my wife, which itself shows that , keeping himself updated with the more current improvements in the field of oncology .

All six Chemotherapies were conducted in time i.e with proper break up of 21 days between each chemo. Dr Rakesh was so perfectly maintains the time without any postponement of the dates. He was so concern for the patient’s treatment.

Dr.Rakesh was very accommodative and always there throughout my wife’s treatment. Whenever we ask him any questions through what’s apps, Dr. Rakesh used to respond within a short time. His availability and access in critical conditions need a special mention and thanks.

After two days of my wife’s first chemo, at around 9 p.m, we found on her body some rashes, we informed him through telephonic conversation. Immediately he responded and suggested us to bring to Hospital and admit in emergency section. By the time we went to hospital Dr.Rakesh informed the emergency section about the course of treatment to my wife. Within one hour she was recovered from that rashes and she was discharged.

At present my wife was recovering well and there are no any adverse effects even after all these chemos.

We thank him for the health care rendered and sympathy shown to us Day after day his words and kind deeds to relieve the patient’s agony, instill the great strength of self-confidence and faith in his noble way of treatment. Indeed such words greatly helped us and restored the health of my wife.

We would recommend Dr.Rakesh to anyone looking for cancer care.

A Salute to Dr. Senthil J Rajappan – A Living Legend in Oncology and a Beacon of Hope

In life, there are moments when you’re overwhelmed with fear, uncertainty, and pain — and then, by sheer grace, someone walks into your life and changes everything. For us, that someone was Dr. Senthil J Rajappan.

To call him just a medical oncologist would be a dramatic understatement. He is, in every possible way, the guiding light who helped us navigate one of the most challenging chapters of our lives with extraordinary clarity, compassion, and care. With unwavering confidence, I say — Dr. Senthil Sir is one of the finest doctors in India.

From the very first consultation, his approach was rooted in deep expertise, transparent communication, and a calming presence that felt divine. He explained the complexity of the situation and the treatment path ahead with such simplicity, precision, and conviction that we immediately felt safe * **** ** **** *** **** ** **** ****** *** ** *** ***** ** ******* **** ** *** ******** The ambiance of his consultation room

tells us all.

Throughout the journey, Dr. Senthil became more than a doctor to us — he became a guardian angel, a family member, and truly, a demigod. His attention to detail, his ability to anticipate our concerns before we even voiced them, and the way he balanced clinical excellence with emotional strength left us in awe.

He didn’t just treat a patient. He healed a family.

What sets him apart even further is his incredible ability to lead and inspire his team — a true mark of a visionary. The dedication and compassion we experienced from Dr. Divya, Dr. Haripriya, Dr. Krithika, and Dr. Hepciba, as well as the nursing staff, were a reflection of the high standards and empathetic culture Dr. Senthil nurtures. Each one of them brought warmth, professionalism, and an unwavering focus on care.

We would also like to offer our heartfelt thanks to Thrinadh and Bikshapathi from the front office, who handled every interaction with such patience and humility — making the hospital experience more humane and seamless.

For us, Dr. Senthil is not just a brilliant oncologist. He is the pillar of strength, the embodiment of divine grace, and a lifesaver in the truest sense. His presence gave us the strength to endure, and his guidance gave us the path to recover.

Even a thousand thank-yous would pale in comparison to what we owe him. If faith, science, and compassion were ever to meet in one person — it would be in Dr. Senthil J Rajappan.

May you continue to be the light in the darkness for countless families as you were for ours. We are eternally grateful.

Dr. T S Rao is the most skilled oncological surgeon with a great work ethic. He performed a complex 10 hour surgery on my husband and was able to remove several tumors. He starts his day early and works tirelessly till late in the night, six days a week. The team of doctors trained under him displayed the same level of professionalism. He ensured that the right team of surgeons was created, asking surgeons from other hospitals to join as well for this complex surgery. He explained all aspects transparently and took time to plan all details. ** *** ****** **** *** ** ******* ******* *** ****** ******** My husband got a new lease of life after treatment under him. Other big hospitals had refused to do this surgery. We are grateful to Dr. TS Rao and his team forever.

We consulted Dr Raju for my father Rectum cancer. His team is really good and we felt very safe with this treatment. Although he talks less, his decision making and helping patients in times of need is commendable.

Very approachable, genuine and above all we have realized he is very good human being.

Thank you, Raju Garu and Team!!
