"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"

"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. 👍🏻🙏👏🏼🤜🏻😀"

"Assalamu Alaikum wa rahamathullahi was barakathuhu My husband needed surgery, and we were confused about whom to consult and which method to choose. Without making a final decision, we visited Apollo Hospital to explore our options. When we learned about robotic surgery, we consulted Dr. Mohammed Rehan Sayeed. He explained everything clearly, addressed all our doubts, and gave us great hope and confidence. After speaking with him, we decided to proceed with robotic surgery under his care. The procedure was performed very smoothly without any complications. Alhamdulillah, my husband is now recovering very quickly. At this moment, our hearts are filled with happiness and deep gratitude toward our doctor. His reassuring words truly gave us strength and hope during a very difficult time. I would also like to sincerely thank the doctor’s secretary, Sister Nalini, for making the appointment process, insurance procedures, and medical leave arrangements easy and stress-free for us. I am also deeply grateful to the ICU staff who took care of my husband with such love, patience, and dedication. Once again, we express our heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Mohammed Rehan Sayeed and his entire team. We highly recommend Dr. Rehan to anyone looking for a safe and reliable option for heart surgery. May Allah bless Dr. Mohammed Rehan Sayeed, his team, and everyone who helped and supported us during our difficult time. Ameen Ya Rabb."

"My mother underwent a Minimally Invasive CABG surgery at Apollo Hospital, Greams Road in December, performed by Dr. Mohammed Rehan Sayeed. I am extremely grateful to share that she has now fully recovered and is doing wonderfully well. Dr. Rehan Sayeed’s expertise, calm approach, and confidence gave us immense reassurance throughout the journey. His mastery in minimally invasive cardiac surgery ensured my mother had a smooth procedure with faster recovery and minimal discomfort. We cannot thank him enough for the exceptional care. A special mention to Ms. Nalini, the doctor’s secretary, who played a crucial role in managing all our appointments. She was incredibly patient, always approachable, and responded to every query immediately—no matter how small. Her support made the entire process much easier for our family. Overall, we had a truly positive experience at Apollo Hospital. My mother’s recovery is a testament to the dedication and professionalism of the entire team. We are deeply thankful."
