"On 23rd April, my 36 year old husband Mr Vishnu Prakash suffered a sudden cardiac attack. We rushed him to the SIMS Hospital Emergency room, where the medical team acted instantly, providing world-class stabilization and treatment. Initially, the highly skilled Dr. Pramod Jaiswal sir attempted an angioplasty. Realizing my husband had extensive coronary calcification, he made the critical, safe decision to stop the procedure and advised that bypass surgery would be the best engineering path for his long-term health. Two weeks later, the Dr. V.V. Bashi sir performed a traditional offbeat open-chest bypass surgery using lima & vein grafts. The entire medical journey was handled with absolute brilliance. Both Dr. Pramod Jaiswal and Dr. Bashi sir’s exceptional teams—including Dr. Deepika and Dr. Mohamed Ibrahim—provided us with immense emotional and clinical support. As a family, we had so many anxieties, but they patiently sat with us and clarified all our complex doubts regarding minimally invasive options versus traditional CABG, helping us make the right choice with complete confidence. My husband is recovering wonderfully now. A special and deep note of gratitude to Bashi sir’s dedicated coordinators, Mr. Raja and Ms. Amudha, who made our daily hospital stay incredibly smooth and stress-free. Additionally, navigating financial logistics during a medical crisis is incredibly daunting, but Ms. Nancy and the SIMS Insurance Team were absolute pillars of support. They managed our corporate insurance claims with seamless efficiency, handling all documentation behind the scenes so we could focus entirely on my husband's healing. Thank you to the entire doctor team, nursing staff, and support teams at SIMS Hospital Vadapalani for your exceptional expertise, endless patience, and compassionate care. Highly recommended!"

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 sincerely thank Dr. Usha Rajinikanthan and Dr. Shobana Priya for taking great care of my mother during her hysterectomy. We had consulted both doctors before the surgery and their guidance helped us feel confident and well-prepared. Dr. Shobana Priya performed the surgery very well and Dr. Usha Rajinikanthan supported us throughout by clearly explaining everything and patiently answering all our questions. She was always very kind and reassuring, which made us feel comfortable during a stressful time. Thanks to the nursing staff on the 5th floor (Room 5411A) for their care and support. My brother and his wife had also consulted Dr. Usha Rajinikanthan earlier and with her guidance and treatment, they have been blessed with a baby. I am also currently undergoing treatment under her care and have had a good experience so far. We are very grateful for her continuous support and care. Highly recommend them for their expertise and compassionate approach."

A very special mention must be accorded to Dr. Bashi V. V., with his effective and efficient team for executing uncompromised involvement in every administration of medical expertise. Our hearts go out to profusely thank Dr. Bashi V. V., Dr. Ibrahim, Dr. Irshad, and Dr. Jedidiah Sameaj for administering CABG to Mr. Alpart Mathala Muthu (Malaysian) (UHID 466673) on 26 March 2026. We were really overwhelmed with the reception to discharge processes assisted by Mrs. Amutha at ICAD desk and Mr. Raja, which duly deserve laudable commendation, letting us have smooth passage at all desks of SIMS's attention and services. Ever in appreciation and warm regards. Mrs. M. Helen Mary Alpart."

"We met with Dr. Selvin regarding neurological concerns for my mother, and our experience was excellent. He was extremely knowledgeable, compassionate, and reassuring throughout the consultation. He took the time to thoroughly understand her condition, identify the root cause, and guide us toward an effective resolution. The support staff were equally outstanding—kind, attentive, and dedicated to ensuring my mother was comfortable and cared for at every step. Their professionalism and genuine concern made a significant difference to our experience. Thank you to Dr. Selvin and the entire team for your exceptional care. Keep up the great work!"
