Had a persistent stomach issue for months. Booked a slot with Dr. Kannaiyan online, got in, he listened, ordered the right tests, and had a clear treatment plan by the end of the week. No fuss, just fixed it. Exactly what I needed.

Doctor: Dr. Kannaiyan R Hospital: Apollo Hospitals Tondiarpet Chennai

My 8-year-old son had a high fever that wouldn't break, and we were really scared. Dr. Kannaiyan at Apollo was so calm with him. He explained everything to us in simple terms, never rushed us, and even showed my son the stethoscope to help him relax. The fever came down with the medicine he prescribed, and he followed up with a call the next day to check in. We felt like he truly cared.

Look, I don't like going to doctors. But I had this cough that was wrecking my sleep. Went to see Dr. Kannaiyan. He's straightforward, told me what it was (some bronchial thing), gave me meds. They worked. Parking at Apollo is always a pain, but the doc was good.

I'd been feeling run-down and dizzy for weeks. My usual doc was on leave, so I took a chance on Dr. Kannaiyan. The waiting area was packed, I was nervous seeing a new doctor. But he spent a solid 15 minutes just asking questions, really digging into my routine and diet. He figured out it was a combination of low iron and dehydration from my new workout regime—something I hadn't even connected. His advice was practical, not just a prescription. I followed his plan, and the difference in my energy levels now is night and day. It felt like he solved a puzzle everyone else had missed.
