Our 4-year-old had a high fever that wouldn't break, and we were terrified. Dr. Umamaheswari at Apollo Children's was so calm with him. She explained everything to us in simple terms, never rushed us even though the clinic was busy. She checked on him the next day herself. Seeing her gentle manner with our scared little boy made all the difference.

Doctor: Dr. Umamaheswari B Hospital: Apollo Children's Hospital Chennai

I was in Chennai for work and my son, who was traveling with me, developed a bad rash. We went to Apollo Children's and got Dr. Umamaheswari. I was nervous, being in a new city. She spent a good 20 minutes just looking at the rash under different lights, asking about what he ate, where we'd been. She remembered a similar case from a few months prior. Her diagnosis was specific, the cream she prescribed worked in two days. It felt like she was genuinely piecing a puzzle together, not just writing a script.
