Doctor: Dr. Praveen Chandra Hospital: MGM Hospital Chennai

I'd been feeling off for months, tired all the time with weird aches. A couple of other doctors just shrugged. Dr. Shrivarthan was different. He actually listened, asked a ton of questions I hadn't thought about, and ordered some specific tests. Turns out it was a thyroid issue that wasn't showing up on the standard panel. He explained it all in a way that finally made sense. I'm on treatment now and starting to feel like myself again.

Doctor: Dr. Praveen Chandra Hospital: MGM Hospital Chennai

Had to get a small cyst removed. Honestly, I was nervous at first about any surgery, even a minor one. But Dr. Shrivarthan walked me through the whole thing, step by step, in the clinic itself. The procedure was quick, he kept checking if I was okay, and the stitches were neat. Recovery was exactly as he said it would be. It was just a straightforward thing, done really well.

Doctor: Dr. Praveen Chandra Hospital: MGM Hospital Chennai

The waiting area at MGM was packed when I went for my follow-up, and I had to wait a bit. But the nurses at the desk were so patient with everyone. One of them saw I looked confused finding the billing counter and walked me there herself. The whole place was clean and calm, which helped. Dr. Shrivarthan's clinic staff also called the next day just to see how I was doing after a new medication.

Doctor: Dr. Praveen Chandra Hospital: MGM Hospital Chennai

What stuck with me most was how Dr. Shrivarthan talks to you. He doesn't rush. When I was worried about some test results, he sat down, looked me in the eye, and broke it all down without any scary medical jargon. He has this calm way about him that makes you feel like you're in good hands, not just another file. You can tell he actually cares how you feel.

Doctor: Dr. Praveen Chandra Hospital: MGM Hospital Chennai

I'd been feeling off for months, tired and achy, and a couple of other doctors just shrugged. Dr. Vasudevan actually listened, asked a bunch of questions I hadn't been asked before, and ordered some specific tests. Turns out it was a thyroid issue that wasn't showing up on the standard panel. He explained it all clearly, without talking down to me. Finally felt like someone had connected the dots.
