Our experience in Apollo proton hospital was excellent. Dr. Sujith Mullapally, Medical oncologist and his assistant Dr. Safa were very precise in explaining, guiding us through chemotherapy and advising us at end of each session. They were reachable in between cycles and responded with advise and reassurance. Dr. Srinivas Chilukuri, Dr. Syam Sundar, Dr Vineet, Dr. Shakthi of Radio oncology guided us through successful helical tomotherapy of chest with immediate response to minor adverse effects . Judina in the administration was excellent in coordination for each chemotherapy cycle, admission and discharge. Nursing staff of chemo immunotherapy ward, specially MS Divya, MS Mahalakshmi, MS Dhanalakshmi, MS Vinolina, MS Nija rendered excellent Nursing care to the patients. The professional approach of every department including Housekeeping, Kitchen , Engineering are commendable. Apollo Hospitals, we are proud of you. No wonder so many international patients come to Apollo to heal.

Exceptional Medical Care, Abysmal Administrative Experience THE MEDICAL EXCELLENCE (5/5) Dr. Siddhartha Ghosh and his team delivered outstanding care during a complex spinal surgery. What could have been a lengthy hospitalization became almost a day-care experience due to exceptional surgical skill and comprehensive post-operative care. Dr. Ghosh personally visited multiple times post-surgery, demonstrating genuine commitment beyond the operating room. Team members Dr. Jatin and Dr. Arunava were equally impressive—attentive, skilled, and genuinely concerned about patient welfare. The nursing staff were fantastic, managing pain and medications with consistent smiles and compassion. Special recognition to Sarita Raj (Akka), who was simply superhuman—attending to everyone with dedication and warmth despite being in high demand, especially during challenging night shifts when patient needs are greatest. Physiotherapist Mr. Fareed provided patient, clear guidance on post-surgical recovery with excellent exercise demonstrations. The food was also commendable—tasty, wholesome, and healthy. THE ADMINISTRATIVE NIGHTMARE (0/5) Now the inexcusable part: our discharge became a NINE-HOUR ordeal of bureaucratic dysfunction and callous indifference. Medically cleared for discharge in the morning, we were trapped until 8 PM due to "billing issues." Hours of anxiety followed as we were sent in circles: Told in-patient pharmacy billing was pending Pharmacy claimed they received nothing, directed us to nursing staff Nursing staff reported IT blamed "software issues" NO ONE had solutions or even suggestions For a flagship hospital in 2025, claiming "software issues" prevent discharge is either gross incompetence or a convenient excuse. The psychological toll was immense—family arrangements disrupted, elderly relatives waiting anxiously, attendants running on days of sleepless nights. The management showed breathtaking insensitivity. There were even attempts to pressure us into staying another night despite medical clearance, ignoring our distress and carefully made arrangements. I strongly suspect this was designed to charge for an extra day. While unprovable, every delay conveniently extended our stay. The "issue" miraculously resolved after a doctor's secretary intervened, and that same evening (8 PM!) we received confirmation Apollo had submitted our insurance claim—something they could have done during business hours, preventing this entire nightmare. Management's Cowardly Tactic: Apollo uses frontline staff—the exceptional nursing sisters and junior doctors—as scapegoats ("Shikhandis") to face patients' justifiable rage while decision-makers hide. These dedicated professionals who provided exemplary care were forced to defend indefensible failures they couldn't resolve. CONCLUSION The contrast is stark: world-class medical care undermined by dysfunctional administration. Dr. Ghosh's team exemplifies healthcare excellence; management's billing/discharge processes are broken and potentially exploitative. To Apollo Management: Your administrative failures traumatize patients and families while damaging the reputations of your exceptional medical staff. Fix your systems immediately. If October 9th's discharge chaos was deliberate delay for billing purposes, cease this practice. Stop using healthcare workers as shields for management-level incompetence. Identify who's responsible and hold them accountable—unless you're the ones to blame. Medical Care: 5/5 | Administrative Experience: 0/5 Prospective patients: expect excellent medical treatment but prepare for potential discharge nightmares that can erase all goodwill.

I want to take a moment to appreciate the exceptional care and professionalism at Apollo Proton. The experience here has been truly comforting and reassuring at every step. A special shoutout to Judina and the entire Chemo Department for their warmth, compassion, and constant support — they make a challenging process so much easier with their kindness. Big thanks as well to Hanif from the Insurance team for handling everything seamlessly and to the Catering Department and the Pharmacy team for their thoughtful service and attention to detail. Grateful for the incredible team that goes above and beyond to make patients and families feel cared for. ❤️

We would like to express our sincere thanks and deep appreciation to Apollo Hospital Chennai for the outstanding medical care and compassionate support we received throughout our journey.A very special thanks to Dr. Ari G. Chacko and Dr. Kirubashankar Monoharan for their expert handling of the acoustic neuroma surgery. Their calm, attentive, and patient-friendly approach gave us immense confidence. They not only treated the condition with great care but also made sure we understood each step of the process. The time and attention they gave truly reflected their dedication to patients' well-being.We are also grateful to Mr. Moon Das, the Guest Relation Officer, for his kind behavior and helpful nature, always available with a smile to guide and assist us through every step.Our heartfelt thanks also go to Ms. Neha Roy and the young lady from Guwahati (apologies for not knowing her name), both from the reception team. They were incredibly polite, patient, and supportive, treating every patient with warmth and respect.Such a team effort made our experience at ApolloHospital smooth and comforting, and we are truly thankful for that. I just have one humble request—if possible, it would be very helpful if you could kindly send us the hospital registration certificate via email, as we require it for reimbursement purposes.Once again, thank you to the entire team at Apollo Hospital Chennai for your outstanding care, professionalism, and compassion.
