I visited Dr unnikrishnan 2 times till now for my problem of thyroid. He starts the session with a very friendly approach and makes his patient comfortable and listens to patients problems and history calmly.He was the first dr. i came across who did not makes us feel he is busy and doesn't have time when he is a senior most dr. in the hospital. A very gentle and soft spoken dr. with loads of experience and who do not prescribe medicines if necessary. He not only takes proper follow up but also keeps a personal connection with his patients. i will definitely recommend him.

It was our first visit. Dr. Monie Sinon (Junior Dr.) is very good in her job. carefully hears the problem, asks for history and accordingly prepares the diagnosis. She explains everything very well so that we could understand it. Dr. Unnikrushnan is very friendly & easy going. He clearly understands patient concern and treats very generously. He doesn't prescribe unnecessary medications or tests. when we told him we would not be in the country, so he went step ahead in his kindness and told us to write him back whenever needed and assure us to help and guide even far away. I would definitely recommend him.

We (Me and my husband) visited Chellaram Hospital for my severely high TSH levels. Dr. A G Unnikrishnan was very friendly and took his time to assess the situation. First a lady doctor met me and took notes about all my previous history. She was very professional and calming by nature. I was very stressed regarding my health condition but She and Dr. A. G Unnikrishnan explained the issue in detail and I felt quite relieved after meeting them. They told us to take the medicines and come after 6 weeks with new test reports. They did not even force us to do any test in their own Hospital which many Doctors I have seen doing. I told him that I had already taken 2-3 tablets of the medication as I had taken consultation with another doctor as well and he adjusted by dosage accordingly. Even though he is a very senior doctor he was not in any hurry. I felt the higher price that I paid for his consultation was completely worth it. I would definitely recommend him. I have started my treatment and hoping to see some positive results.
Visited For Thyroid disorder - Hypothyroidism and Hyperthyroidism , Thyroid swelling/goiter
Went in tensed and worried but came out relieved and all smiles. Wonderful doctor who is all ears to everything you hv to say. I went there worried, as at such a young age I was having high TSH levels and that too despite the fact that I was fairly active throughout my life with sports and other activities. He not just treated me for my thyroid but also calmed my nerves. There is an aura of positivity and calmness when around him. What makes him stand out from the rest is that he is patient with his patients and listens to all the concerns and worries that you have. He is well experienced and doesn't give you unnecessary medications. I say this because he recommended a medicine first to me, apart from my thyroid medicine, and then after understanding my anxiousness dropped it as it would have adversely affected me. I would highly recommend him for you and your family.

The junior doctor asked me all necessary questions and had said that theres nothing to worry about. However, when Dr unnikrishnan came and I told him my worries, instead of providing much details he directly suggested and scared me by mentioning “CANCER” and told me to get a biopsy done. I had no sleep from the day of the test to the day of the results as obviously its scary! The results came out to be negative thankfully. And then this doctor suggested that I should go for an operation and remove the swollen part of my thyroid in 3 months or it can convert to cancer anytime! * *** ** *** ****** ***** ** ****** ****** ** *** ****** *** ***** ** **** ***** ** *** **** ****** ** **** ** ** ****** I wasted around 10k in the appointments and biopsy *** **** **** *** **** ***** ** ***** **** **** ** * **** *** **** ********** *********** ************** ********** ** ****** ******** ** ** ** **** ******* ****** **** *** *** **** **** *** *** ****** ** **** ***** **** ******** ** **** ** **** **** *** ** **** ***** ** ** *** **** *** ** ******** ** **** ****** I am never going to him again.

Consulted Dr. Unnikrishnan for my husbands thyroid treatment. He was extremely patient and thorough - he studied all our previous reports and took his time to understand all possible aspects before reaching a conclusion. Did not rush through any of it.
He also helped us understand the diagnosis better and the reasons behind the same.
A positive and reassuring personality. All in all a very pleasant and fruitful experience.

A brilliant doctor who listened to us patiently and gave us confidence. Spent adequate time with us and allayed all our fears, giving sound advice. After the consultation we knew we couldn't have found a better Doctor than Dr. Unnikrishnan and a better clinic than Chellaram Diabetes Hospital.

Doctor was very professional and heard to all my issues very calmly without any rushBest part of him was he tries if patients can be quered without any medicine by changing diet plan etc if not then only he gives medicine and assures the dosage can be reduced or stopped if all blood test are normal, this works as a encouragement to patients.Thank You to Chellaram hospital staff
