Dr. TS Srinath Reviews
Patient Experience
At 82, I thought my palpitations were just old age, but Dr. Srinath discovered a dangerous arrhythmia others missed. His gentle patience with my hearing difficulties and clear explanations to my family made us all feel secure. The pacemaker procedure was smoother than I ever imagined, back tending my garden in weeks!
Our 9-year-old daughter's congenital heart defect had us terrified, but Dr. Srinath treated her like his own. He used dinosaur analogies to explain the surgery and even had a stuffed toy waiting post-op. Three years later, she's thriving in dance class, a miracle we attribute to his skill and compassion.
Rushed to SIMS with crushing chest pain at 3 AM, Dr. Srinath met me in the cath lab himself. His calm urgency during my STEMI saved my life, stent placed within 18 minutes of arrival. The nurses told me he sleeps with his phone on his chest; I believe it.
As a marathon runner, my 'routine' stress test revealed an anomalous coronary artery. Dr. Srinath didn't dismiss it as athletic variation, he ordered a CTA that probably prevented my sudden death. His sports-specific cardiac advice lets me train smarter now.
Watching Dr. Srinath explain bypass options to my mother with colorful diagrams and Tamil metaphors was awe-inspiring. He never rushed us through seven family questions, and his post-op visits included checking her home medications personally. Human kindness meets world-class skill.
Flew from Dubai specifically for Dr. Srinath's second opinion after being told I needed valve replacement. He reviewed my echoes for 45 minutes, then said 'Let's try repair first, your valve is worth saving.' Six months later, my ejection fraction improved without open surgery.
His follow-up protocol is meticulous, I received a WhatsApp reminder for my INR check before I even remembered it myself. The clinic staff knows him as 'The Professor' for how he teaches patients to understand their own hearts.
Complex aortic dissection repair at 68 felt like a death sentence, but Dr. Srinath's team worked 11 hours with flawless coordination. He showed us the imaging afterward, pointing out how they rebuilt the aorta like plumbing artistry. My wife says he has 'golden hands'.
Thought my breathlessness was asthma until Dr. Srinath spotted pulmonary hypertension on an echo ordered on a hunch. His early diagnosis started treatment before irreversible damage, literally gave me back my ability to climb stairs.
Witnessed him handle an angry patient complaining about wait times with remarkable grace, 'Your heart deserves my full attention, even if it makes others wait.' Turns out that patient needed emergency angioplasty an hour later.
As a young woman with unexplained chest pain, previous doctors dismissed it as anxiety. Dr. Srinath found microvascular angina through specialized testing and created a treatment plan that finally let me return to work. He listens when others assume.
Post-cardiac arrest, my husband's prognosis was grim. Dr. Srinath fought for therapeutic hypothermia protocol against doubts, and today my husband is fishing again. We call him 'the doctor who believes in miracles because he creates them'.
His clinic feels like a well-orchestrated symphony, efficient yet personal. Even the way he places his stethoscope (warmed in his palms first) shows attention to detail most would overlook. A healer in the truest sense.
