At my age, you get used to doctors rushing you along. Dr. Rajkumar was different. He listened to all my old complaints without looking at the clock. Explained everything about my new medication in simple terms. The hospital was busy, but in his room, I felt properly cared for.

Had a persistent stomach issue for weeks. Booked a slot with Dr. Rajkumar at MGM. Appointment was on time, diagnosis was clear, prescription worked. Got the problem sorted without wasting half my day. Exactly what I needed.

Look, I was nervous. Never been great with doctors. But Dr. Rajkumar was straight up—no sugar-coating, but also not scary. Told me what was wrong, what we could do, and that was that. Parking at MGM was a nightmare, but the doc himself was good.

Doctor: Dr. Rajiv Uttam Hospital: MGM Hospital Chennai

I went in for what I thought was just a bad cough. Dr. Rajkumar asked a few more questions, then checked my blood pressure. Turns out it was way higher than it should be.

Doctor: Dr. Rajiv Uttam Hospital: MGM Hospital Chennai

I'd been to a couple of doctors with this nagging stomach pain and fatigue, and everyone just said it was stress. Dr. Jayakrishnan actually listened, 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 usual scans. He explained it in a way that finally made sense. I'm just relieved someone figured it out.
