"I recently visited MGM Malar Hospital Adyar with my mother for a check-up. In the rush, my mother accidentally left Rs. 1500 along with the bill on a chair. I want to sincerely appreciate and thank Mr. Felix Andrew, Fire Safety Officer, for his honesty and sincerity. He noticed the issue, checked the camera footage, and immediately called us to inform about the incident. Later, we were able to collect the money safely. I was truly surprised and deeply moved by the integrity shown by Mr. Felix and his team. What may seem like a small act is actually a reflection of strong values and genuine care. I also want to thank the hospital management for having such dedicated and trustworthy staff. This experience left me with a sense of gratitude and admiration, and it strengthened my trust in the hospital."

"We are extremely grateful to the entire CT ICU team for the care and support provided during those difficult four days. Sister Arthi and Sister K. Priya were truly wonderful — they not only cared for him with dedication but also gave us emotional strength and constant reassurance that everything would be fine. All the doctors in the CT ICU took excellent care of him, and we sincerely thank each one of them. A special thanks to Dr. Ammaiappan sir and his team, who were our biggest support system throughout. Their professionalism, compassion, and commitment meant so much to us. The emergency doctor team was also very quick and efficient in initiating treatment at the right time."

"I recently delivered my baby at Malar Hospital under the care of Dr. Premalatha mam. Even though I had a prolonged labour for two days after induction of labour (IOL), she waited patiently and constantly guided me towards a normal delivery with proper counselling and reassurance. I will always be grateful to her and her team for their dedication and commitment. Dr. Premalatha is one of the finest and most knowledgeable doctors I have come across. She also saved me from postpartum pre-eclampsia by identifying postpartum hypertension at the right time and starting prompt treatment, which made a huge difference in my recovery. A special mention to Anitha mam for her continuous support, positive words, and kindness throughout my labour journey. Her encouragement helped me stay calm and confident during a very challenging time. The hospital staff, nurses, and insurance team were all extremely helpful, approachable, and supportive throughout my stay. Their coordinated care made the entire experience smooth and reassuring. Thank you Dr. Premalatha mam and the entire team at Malar Hospital for giving me such a wonderful pregnancy, delivery, and post-natal care experience. I will always cherish this journey with Malar hospital."

"Had visited MGM Healthcare Malar Hospital, Adyar, few weeks back for cataract surgery. Both eyes were operated with an interval of 5 days and feel very good and comfortable now. Dr. Radhi Malar who performed the surgery was very caring, and made me very comfortable, before, during and post surgery. Her assistant Ms. Rama was also very cordial and supportive. All the tests were done in an organized way without much delay. All my queries were clarified very patiently. Am much happy with the way everything went ahead. My heartfelt thanks and appreciation to the team."

"I have been visiting MGM Malar Hospital for all my scans and consultations during the first trimester of my pregnancy, and my experience has been truly wonderful. The hospital is very clean, well-maintained, and follows excellent hygiene standards, which gives me great comfort and confidence during every visit. The staff members are courteous, supportive, and well-organized. A special thanks to Dr. Kanaga Lakshmi mam, who has been extremely kind and reassuring. She explains everything clearly and patiently, addresses all my concerns, and makes me feel calm and confident throughout this important phase of my pregnancy. I highly recommend MGM Malar Hospital to anyone looking for quality maternity care and a positive healthcare experience."
