Patient Experience
I've been seeing Dr. Aarthi Priya for my blood pressure and general health for about five years now. She remembers the small things from my last visit, which makes a huge difference. The clinic at MGM can get busy, but she never rushes me. I trust her completely because she explains changes in my treatment clearly and never pushes for unnecessary tests.
At my age, one is often anxious about visiting doctors. Dr. Aarthi Priya made me feel very much at ease. She listened patiently to all my old complaints about my joints and digestion. Her manner is very kind, and she took the time to explain my new medication in simple terms. I left feeling reassured, which is a rare thing these days.
Had a bad fever that wouldn't break. Went to MGM, saw Dr. Aarthi Priya. She was straight to the point, figured it out fast. Got the right meds, felt better in two days. No fuss, just good care.
My whole family came down with a nasty stomach bug last month. By the time I dragged myself to MGM, I was exhausted. The waiting area was packed, and I almost left. Dr. Aarthi Priya called me in, saw how rough I looked, and just said, 'Let's get you sorted.' She asked about everyone at home and prescribed for them too, saving us another trip. What stuck with me was how she handled it—like a neighbor helping out, not just a doctor doing a job. Even called the next day to check on my kids.
I'd been to a couple of doctors for this nagging stomach pain and fatigue, and everyone just said it was stress. Dr. Karunakaran actually listened. He asked a lot of questions I hadn't been asked before and ordered some specific tests. Turns out it was a tricky gallbladder issue that wasn't showing up on the standard scans. He explained it in a way that finally made sense. I had the surgery at MGM last month and feel like myself again.
Had to get a small cyst removed from my back. Honestly, I was nervous about any kind of procedure. Dr. Karunakaran walked me through the whole thing in the clinic, didn't rush me. The day of, it was over so fast. The stitches were neat, healing was straightforward. It was just a simple thing, but he treated it with care, which I appreciated.
The waiting area at MGM was busy, I had to wait a bit past my appointment time. But the nurses at the front were really kind about it. Once I got in, the whole clinic felt calm and clean. Dr. Karunakaran's assistant was great too—very efficient and friendly. It made a long morning much easier to handle.
What stuck with me was how Dr. Karunakaran talks to you. He doesn't just look at the file; he looks at you. When I was worried about my blood pressure readings, he sat down, asked about my week, my sleep. He has this quiet, steady way about him that just makes you feel heard. You leave feeling like you've been seen by a person, not processed by a system.
At my age, you don't want to be rushed. Dr. Vijayaraghavan at MGM never made me feel like a number. He explained my arthritis options slowly, made sure I understood, and his nurse was very kind when I was a bit unsteady getting off the table. A good, calm doctor.
I've been seeing Dr. Vijayaraghavan for my blood pressure for almost eight years now. He remembers my history, asks about my family, and we just pick up where we left off. That consistency means a lot. When my readings spiked last month, he adjusted my meds without any fuss, and things are back on track. I trust his judgment completely.
Had a nasty stomach bug. Went to MGM, saw Dr. Vijayaraghavan. He was straight to the point, told me what it was and what to do. Got the right meds, felt better in two days. No nonsense, which I appreciate.
I was really nervous—first major check-up in years. The waiting area was busy, I'll admit. But from the moment Dr. Vijayaraghavan walked in, he just had a way of putting me at ease. He listened to all my little worries, even the silly ones about a mole I'd had forever. He checked it thoroughly, said it was fine, and took the time to show me what to actually look for. He didn't just treat a chart; he treated me. Left feeling much lighter than when I went in.
I've been seeing Dr. Anbalagan for my blood pressure for about eight years now, ever since he was at a different clinic. I followed him to MGM. That says it all, really. He remembers my history without always checking the file, asks about my family, and never rushes me. The hospital is big and busy, but with him, it feels like a proper check-up, not a factory line. I trust him completely.
My 82-year-old father was admitted with severe weakness. Dr. Anbalagan was so clear with us. He called me directly after rounds, explained the treatment plan in simple Tamil, and told us exactly what to watch for at home. He didn't sugarcoat things, but he was kind. When we were worried, he took the time to listen. Because of him, we felt informed and could actually help in my father's recovery. We're so grateful.
Had a bad stomach issue. Went to MGM, saw Dr. Anbalagan. He figured it out fast, gave me meds that worked. No fuss. Parking was a nightmare though.
I was in Chennai for work and woke up with a fever that just wouldn't break. I went to MGM Hospital feeling pretty rough and anxious. Dr. Anbalagan had a quiet way about him. He listened to my whole story, even the bit about my stressful project, and did a very thorough exam. He said, 'Let's not guess, let's check a few things,' which I appreciated. The tests showed it was a specific infection. His treatment plan was clear, and he followed up with a call the next day to see if the fever had come down. I was back on my feet in a couple of days. He turned a scary situation in an unfamiliar city into something manageable.
I'd been to a couple of doctors about this constant fatigue and weird stomach pain. They said it was stress. Dr. Halan was the first one who actually sat and listened, asked about things no one else did, and ordered some different tests. Turns out it was a thyroid issue that was messing with everything. She explained it in a way that finally made sense. I'm on medication now and feel like myself again.
Had to get a small cyst removed. Honestly, I was more nervous about the hospital visit than the procedure itself. But Dr. Halan's team made it so straightforward. The whole thing, from check-in to leaving, took maybe two hours. The doctor herself checked in right before and after, made sure I knew what to do at home. It was just... easy. No drama, which is exactly what you want.
The waiting area at MGM was packed, I won't lie. But the nurses at the front desk were really kind and kept things moving. When I finally saw Dr. Halan, her room was calm and clean, which helped settle my nerves. It's the little things—someone offering a glass of water, the doctor not rushing you out the door. The place just felt professional without being cold.
What stuck with me was how Dr. Halan talked to my elderly mother. She didn't just talk to me. She got down on her level, spoke clearly and patiently, and made sure *she* understood the treatment plan. You could tell it wasn't an act. She has a real warmth about her that makes a scary doctor's visit feel a lot less frightening.
