"I recently underwent a Total Hip Replacement (THR) at SIMS Hospital, Vadapalani, under the care of Dr Vijay C. Bose. After years of chronic pain, I was hesitant, but the team's professionalism immediately put me at ease. The surgery was successful, and I was able to stand and take a few steps with a walker within 24 hours of the surgery. The physiotherapy team was exceptional in guiding my recovery. The nursing staff was caring, and the facilities were top-notch. I am now walking without pain and regaining my independence. Highly recommend SIMS for ortho care."

"My wife was suffering from stomach issue for the last one year. We consulted Dr BS Ramakrishna, a renowned Gastroenterologist. ( SIMS VADAPALANI CHENNAI). He accurately diagnosed it’s ulcerative colitis. Under his sincere and expert treatment she is fully recovered. The doctor patiently explained in full details about this issue and advised what to do and what not to do. A professional care with human touch. We are really grateful to DR BSR. Serving with a charming smile. The staff at Gastro desk are always polite and helpful. Felt happy we took correct decision in approaching Sims and consulted Dr B S Ramakrishna."

"We underwent TLIF spine surgery under the care of Dr. Vijay Shankar. The entire procedure was handled with exceptional professionalism, ensuring the patient’s comfort and well-being at every stage. A special mention to the ground staff, including the ward boys and nurses, who were extremely supportive, polite, and attentive. Their compassionate care and professional approach made the entire experience much more comfortable for us. We highly recommend this hospital for their excellent medical service and patient care. ❤️"

"19th January 2026, close on the heels of marathon Pongal festival holidays, we were blessed to visit SIMS hospital. We were referred by a leading dermatologist Dr R Baskar, West Mambalam. Dr Baskar's college mate Dr K R Suresh Bappu was our maiden contact at SIMS. A head CT Scan was performed and the film was sent to Dr KRS. No sooner viewing the film, I heard him saying "Send this to Dr Balaji and team. Reason for visiting was that my wife Jayanthi Rajan, aged 73 years had Dumble bell shaped boils on her head at the left partition. I am running 77 and we are mutually depending on each other. Met the most qualified, able, competent and above all a Doctor with Loads of humility and young team of expert doctors. Swiftly the process was set in motion. Blood test, ECG, Echo, Chest PA view x-ray. 21st Jan reports were ready and after careful perusal, we were admitted. Surgery was performed to move a sample for Biopsy. 22nd, Biopsy report was ready and it was confirmed as Skin Adnexal Tumor. Same thing, Dr.P Balaji had suspected on 19th, during our first day consultation. Dr.PB, had summoned a stream of doctors. Oncology, Plastic Surgeon and another five doctors. Coinciding with Sri Sankata hara chathurthi, surgery was fixed and performed. As my wife was non-diabetic and no health issues, but yet, due to her she was kept at recovery room for two days. Now I will attempt to express my experience at the prestigious SIMs. Services were next to excellent. My place of living is Virugambakkam. As the hospital is located at a centrally convenient location, auto commuting was seamless. I have been watching with satisfaction the ably trained experts at all places. I will be failing in my effort if I had not expressed the humility of Dr P Balaji and team. My sincere prayers to GOD to bestow every beautiful life to all those involved in making a sea of change in patient /attendant lives. Care and Cure at its best at SIMS Hospital, Vadapalani."

"Dr Ramakrishna is a very nice and experienced doctor. His consultation was very professional and kind also. He gives lots of confidence when talking with him. The service of the reception staff Vidhya and Sowmya was very good. They helped me on 23/6/2025 when I called them from USA for consulting Dr as my wife had a bout of UC. I am really impressed with their follow up and professional helping nature. Thanks to them The lab is well equipped and all were very professional and helpful. Thanks to Aadhi and Karthikeyan at the colonoscopy procedure room"
