"Best eye hospital in chennai as far as I am concerned. Now college road mayhco block renovation brings excellent atmoshphere.For general consultation fee increased from 500 to 750 rupees now.Hassle free online appointments, knowledgable optometrists & soft spoken doctors make the hospital visit more comfortable.Coming in cars can be avoided as car parking is always full."
"Good hospital with experienced team of doctors and all the advanced equipment for eye care. Plan min. 2 days and appointment pre booking is advised, cross consultation / referral with different Doctors /department is smooth. Canteen food quality is also good . 120/- auto charge from Chennai central, Egmore is nearer."

"Had an excellent experience at Sankara Nethralaya. The hospital is extremely well-organized, clean, and maintained at very high standards. The doctors are highly experienced and provide clear guidance, while the staff is polite, supportive, and very efficient. The entire process—from registration to consultation—was smooth and systematic. Facilities are top-notch, and patient care is truly commendable. Overall, a very satisfying and reassuring experience. Highly recommended for anyone seeking quality eye care."
"Visited Sankara Nethralaya Eye Hospital for a consultation. Overall, the service was good, and the doctor was very patient, listened carefully to my concerns, and explained everything clearly. However, the appointment process took longer than expected, and the nursing staff seemed a bit slow in responding. The receptionist, on the other hand, was courteous, helpful, and handled the process efficiently. Overall, it was a good experience, but improving appointment waiting times and response from the nursing staff would make the patient experience even better.
