"This is the best Hospital in India. My father was admitted in urology department for 6 days and he got the best treatment and also the hospital services were good. Staff nurses are amazing, polite speaking and was very patiently communicating. Everyone was very good but I will definitely mention Nurse Hema. She is a very good human being. Overall I got the best facility from Chennai Apollo. Thank you Everyone ❤️"

"The paramedics were great and immediately knew that I had a heart attack and informed the main hospital asap. The ICU cardiac unit team of doctors and support staff were ready and administered what was needed to save me..in the end I had a laser angioplasty which cleared the 100% clot and I got a new lease of life. I owe my life to that team and their service with a smile is still etched deep in my memory. Kudos to them and I salute them. 👍🏻🙏👏🏼🤜🏻😀"

"I am reviewing this for hospital management and not the doctors. Today they blocked the entire main block entrance and reception area for patients,because of a hospital event/function. And instead asked patients and their families to go through the emergency section meant for speedy movement of ambulances and emergency cases. This is quite horrible. A hospital isn't an area to celebrate or have events. People with health issues and already mentally stressed shouldn't be asked to adjust. Please hold events in a hall or somewhere else that does not affect the way patients and customer move. Quite disgraceful"

"The Epitome of Healing and Hospitality: A Review of Apollo Main Hospitals & Platinum Wing ​Patient: Kamal Kumar Saha | Procedure: Successful Septoplasty Review by: Kaushik Saha, Son Date: October 23, 2025 ​Our journey at Apollo Main Hospitals, Chennai, was nothing short of transformational—a blend of medical excellence and a world-class 'staycation' that redefined our perception of healthcare. The successful septoplasty performed on my father, Mr. Kamal Kumar Saha, was the centerpiece of an experience orchestrated with brilliance and compassion at every turn. ​The Maestro: Dr. R. Balaji (ENT Surgeon) ​The surgical outcome is a testament to the masterful skill of Dr. R. Balaji. From the initial consultation, Dr. Balaji’s calm assurance and crystal-clear explanation of the septoplasty procedure eliminated all anxiety. His extensive experience in Otorhinolaryngology was evident in the flawless execution of the surgery. Post-operatively, my father's breathing improved dramatically and immediately. Dr. Balaji is not just a surgeon; he is a specialist whose proficiency elevates the entire institution. ​A City of Care: The Apollo Main Hospitals Ecosystem ​The hospital itself is a meticulously managed ecosystem, operating with the precision of a high-tech city. Every department contributed to our seamless experience: ​Clinical Excellence (The Frontline): The Pre-Anesthesia team prepared my father with diligence, and the post-operative monitoring by the Critical Care unit was vigilant and reassuring. The Emergency Medicine department, though thankfully not needed, provided comfort simply by knowing it operated 24/7 with readiness. ​Diagnostic & Support Services (The Backbone): The efficiency of the Radiology and Pathology/Diagnostics labs ensured swift and accurate pre-op clearances. The Pharmacy team managed our complex medication schedule promptly, and the Physiotherapy & Rehabilitation experts provided useful post-surgical advice for general mobility and recovery. ​Specialty Centers (The Assurance): It is deeply reassuring to be in a hospital where the Centres of Excellence, such as the Apollo Heart Institute, Neurosciences, Orthopedics, and Oncology, stand ready. This breadth of capability offers an unparalleled layer of security. ​Management & Administration (The Engine): The Front Office and Billing/Insurance departments handled complex paperwork with speed and grace, allowing us to focus entirely on recovery. Their professionalism is the smooth oil that keeps this massive operation running. ​The Sanctuary: Platinum Wing (Apollo Sindoori Hotel Limited) ​Our stay in the Platinum Wing, managed by Apollo Sindoori, was truly a luxury staycation integrated with healing. This was not a hospital room; it was a sanctuary. ​The Housekeeping and Facility Management staff were discreet and impeccable, maintaining pristine conditions. The true highlight was the personalized hospitality and Catering Services. The food, tailored to my father's post-operative diet and our own preferences, was gourmet-level, freshly prepared, and served with warmth. The Sindoori team transformed a medical requirement into a genuinely restorative experience, ensuring comfort, peace, and five-star service throughout our recovery period. ​In conclusion, our profound gratitude extends from the skill of Dr. Balaji to the warmth of the nursing staff, the rigor of the clinical teams, and the comforting luxury of the Platinum Wing. Apollo Main Hospitals, supported by Apollo Sindoori, is truly setting a global standard where patient care and sophisticated hospitality converge. We wholeheartedly recommend this institution. ​Kaushik Saha Son of Kamal Kumar Saha"
