Apollo Heart Centre Chennai Reviews

I was a total wreck before my appointment. First time seeing a cardiologist and my mind was racing with worst-case scenarios. Dr. Antionetta just had this calm way about her. She explained everything in simple terms, didn't rush me, and by the time I left, I felt like a weight was off my chest. The clinic was busy but she made me feel like I was her only patient that day.

Been seeing Dr. Antionetta for my heart check-ups for about eight years now. What I appreciate is that she remembers me, remembers my history without having to dig through the file for five minutes first. Her advice has been steady and sensible—no dramatic shifts, no pushing for unnecessary tests. At Apollo, doctors come and go, but she's been a constant. That consistency means a lot when it's your health.

Needed a check-up, got an appointment with Dr. Antionetta J. at Apollo. Straight to the point, clear advice, no fluff. Fixed my prescription, told me what to watch for. Good experience. Parking at the centre is always a hassle though.

So, I'd been putting off seeing a doctor about this palpitation thing for months. Finally booked with Dr. Antionetta. The waiting room was packed, and I almost walked out, I was so anxious. When I got in, she was finishing up some notes, looked up, and just smiled. She asked me to start from the beginning. I rambled a bit, but she listened, then walked me through what it likely was (something benign called PVCs) and what it definitely wasn't. She drew a little diagram of a heartbeat on her notepad. It wasn't just 'take this pill'; she explained the 'why.' Left feeling informed, not just pacified.

Had a bypass last month. The first few days were rough, but Dr. Arulnidhi's team had a clear plan for the pain. They didn't just throw pills at me—they explained what to expect each week. I'm walking better now, and the check-in calls from his nurse actually helped.

I was so scared going in for my chest pains. First time seeing a heart doctor. Dr. Arulnidhi just sat down, didn't rush, and drew a simple diagram of what he thought was going on. He said 'let's figure this out together' and I immediately felt calmer. The tests were fine, and he called me himself with the results.

Dr. Arulnidhi is good. Straight talk, no sugar-coating. Told me my lifestyle had to change, gave me a plan. Parking at Apollo is always a hassle, but the appointment itself was efficient.

My story's a bit long. I'd been feeling off for months—shortness of breath, just tired. Saw Dr. Arulnidhi at Apollo. He listened to my whole history, even the stuff I thought was irrelevant. Ordered specific tests the others hadn't. Turned out it was a tricky valve issue, not what we first thought. He walked me through every option, even the conservative one. I had the procedure three weeks ago. The man remembers details; at my follow-up, he asked about my daughter by name. That meant something.

I'd been to a couple of doctors about this constant fatigue and weird chest flutters. Everyone said it was just stress. Dr. Basheer Ahmed actually listened. He ordered a specific test the others hadn't, and it turned out to be a tricky arrhythmia that wasn't showing up on standard checks. He sat with me and my wife, drew diagrams on a notepad, and explained exactly what was happening in a way that finally made sense. It wasn't just 'take these pills'; it was a real plan.

Had to get a cardiac catheterization done. I was nervous at first, I won't lie. But Dr. Ahmed's team at Apollo Heart Centre just ran everything so smoothly. The whole thing felt very routine for them, which actually calmed me down. In and out the same day, and the instructions for recovery were clear. No drama, no fuss. Just a straightforward procedure that fixed the issue.

The place was busy, I had to wait a bit past my appointment time, which I expected. But what stood out was the nurse who took my vitals. She could see I was anxious and just chatted with me about normal stuff—the weather, the traffic—while she worked. It made a huge difference. The whole facility felt calm and clean, even with the full waiting room. It didn't have that chaotic hospital feel.

My teenage son needed a check-up for a sports physical, and he's shy around doctors. Dr. Ahmed didn't just talk to me; he spoke directly to him, asked about his football practice, and made a few jokes. He was just... really normal and kind. He took the time to make a kid feel comfortable, not just like a patient. That meant a lot to us.
