Apollo Children's Hospital Chennai Reviews

My son was running a high fever and I was a complete mess. First-time mom, you know? The clinic was busy and I was so scared. Dr. Sudha just had this calm way about her. She listened to my panicked story, checked him over so gently, and explained everything in simple words. She told me exactly what to watch for and it wasn't as scary as I thought. I left feeling like I could actually handle this.

My daughter had a persistent cough for two weeks. We saw Dr. Sudha Ekambaram at Apollo Children's. She was direct, asked clear questions, and ordered the right tests. The diagnosis was accurate, the treatment plan worked. The hospital parking is always a hassle, but the medical care was efficient. We're satisfied.

We were referred to Dr. Sudha for our little one's recurring ear infections. She has such a quiet, kind manner. She never rushed us, even when the waiting room was full. She explained the options and really heard our concerns. It’s a relief to find a doctor who is both knowledgeable and so gentle with children. We’re very grateful.

What a difference! My son was really struggling with bad allergies, always tired and sniffly. Previous advice wasn't helping. Dr. Sudha figured it out—it was a specific pollen common here. She put him on a new plan and wow, he's like a new kid! Full of energy, sleeping through the night. We got our happy boy back. So, so glad we found her!

Our son had been sick for weeks, and no one could figure out why. We were getting scared. Dr. Arvind listened to everything, even the little details we thought were silly. He ordered a specific test that others hadn't, and it turned out to be a rare infection. He explained it all to us on a notepad, drawing it out so we'd understand. Starting the right treatment that day made all the difference.

My daughter needed to get her tonsils out. I was more nervous than she was, honestly. The day of the surgery at Apollo, Dr. Sukumaran was just so calm. He told my girl exactly what was going to happen in a way she could get. The whole thing was over before we knew it, and her recovery was exactly how he said it would be. It felt very straightforward, which is what you want.

The parking at Apollo was a nightmare that morning, and I was frazzled by the time we got in. But the clinic staff for Dr. Arvind were really kind. One nurse saw my son was anxious and gave him some stickers, which helped a ton. The place was busy, but it felt organized, and everyone from the front desk to the person who took vitals was patient. It made a stressful visit much easier to handle.

What I remember most is how Dr. Sukumaran talked to my teenage son, not just to me. He asked him questions directly and really listened to the answers. He didn't rush us, even though I'm sure he was behind schedule. He has this quiet, reassuring way about him that made my son, who usually hates doctors, actually feel heard. That meant everything.

My son had his appendix out. The first few days after were rough, I won't lie. But Dr. Padankati's team had a clear plan for the pain. They explained what was normal soreness and what wasn't. It wasn't just pills; they showed us how to position him to be more comfortable. We're three weeks out now, and he's back to playing, just a bit slower. The follow-up call from the hospital to check on his recovery was a nice touch.

Our daughter needed a procedure. Dr. Padankati at Apollo Children's was direct. He explained the steps, the risks, and the recovery timeline clearly, without sugarcoating. We appreciated that. The hospital was busy, but his instructions were precise. Recovery went exactly as he said it would. Good result. No complications.

I was so worried when they said my little one needed an operation. Dr. Padankati has a very calm way about him. He listened to all my fears and never made me feel rushed. He took time with the drawings to show me what he would do. After surgery, he came to see us personally every morning, even on the weekend. His gentle manner made a scary time much easier for our family.

What a relief! My child had been in recurring pain for months. Other places just gave us medicine. Dr. Padankati actually found the cause. The surgery itself was scary, but he walked us through everything. When he came out to the waiting room and said 'All went perfectly,' I finally felt like I could breathe again. The nurses were great, and the whole experience, while stressful, finally gave us answers. So glad we went to him.

At my age, you want a doctor who listens and doesn't rush you. Dr. Sangeetha was exactly that. I was nervous about my persistent cough, but she explained everything in simple terms and made me feel very comfortable. The clinic at Apollo was busy, but she never made me feel like a number.

My son has been seeing Dr. Sangeetha for his asthma since he was 7. He's 14 now. We've seen other doctors in between, but we always come back to her. She remembers his history, knows what medications have worked, and he trusts her completely. That kind of consistency is hard to find.

Saw Dr. Sangeetha for a bad flu. Got in, got checked, got a clear prescription. No fuss. She was direct about what I needed to do and what to watch for. Exactly what I wanted.

We were really worried. Our 5-year-old had a high fever that just wouldn't break, even with medicine. We took her to Apollo Children's. Dr. Sangeetha was so calm. She checked our daughter thoroughly, asked us a bunch of questions about the last few days we hadn't even thought about. She figured it might be more than just a virus and suggested a couple of tests. Turned out to be a specific bacterial infection. She started her on the right antibiotics, and within a day, the fever was down and our little one was starting to act like herself again. We were so relieved.

My son has been seeing Dr. Jeenat for his asthma since he was five. He's ten now. The clinic is always busy and we sometimes wait a bit, but that's because she doesn't rush anyone. She remembers his history, asks about school, and explains things to him directly. We've tried a few different plans over the years, and she's always honest about what might work and what might not. That consistency, knowing exactly what to expect from her, is what I trust most.

My daughter had a high fever and a rash. We went to Apollo Children's. Dr. Malawat saw us. She was calm, checked everything carefully, and told us it was a common viral thing. She explained what to watch for and when to come back. No fancy words, just clear instructions. The medicine she suggested worked. We were in and out in a reasonable time. It was straightforward, which is what you need when you're worried.

I was so scared when my little one wouldn't stop crying and seemed in pain. At the hospital, Dr. Jeenat was just... gentle. She spoke softly, not just to me but to my baby too, like she was trying to comfort her. She figured out it was a bad ear infection. She took her time during the exam, even when my daughter was fussy. Her quiet way of doing things made a horrible day much easier to handle. We're both very grateful.

FINALLY! Someone listened. My boy has had stomach issues for months, and we saw two other doctors who just said it was 'nothing serious.' Dr. Malawat at Apollo actually sat down with his food diary I brought. She asked a ton of questions, ordered the right tests, and we have a real diagnosis now—a mild food intolerance. Starting the new diet she suggested, and he's already more comfortable. What a relief to have answers and a plan that makes sense!
