⭐ Highly Recommended! ⭐ I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to Dr. A. B. Govindaraj and his entire team at MGM Healthcare, Aminjikarai, Chennai, for their exceptional service and care. My husband recently suffered an ACL ligament tear, and throughout his treatment and recovery, every member of the team — from doctors to nurses, ward boys, and helpers — were incredibly efficient, kind, and professional. A special shout-out to Dr. Harshini from the Anesthesia team, Sister Devika from nursing team, and Arun (ward boy/helper) for their outstanding support and compassion. Also, a big thanks to the Room Service team and the Chef — the food was amazing and made us feel completely at home. Thank you all for working together as one team, one soul — helping us heal and recover so smoothly. 🙏 Yours truly Room No:1034

I recently admitted my dad under the supervision of Dr. U. Meenakshi Sundaram and received the best treatment. Starting from admission, to explaining the different procedures and providing a solution was at ease. MGM Healthcare also provided us the best services. The nursing, housekeeping and all staffs were very polite. The canteen inside also offers the best food to the inpatients keeping their health in mind. There was regular visits from the hospital management ensuring the patient is well taken care of. Special mention about the ward boys who helped my dad in al aspects when ever needed. I would recommend this hospital for Elite treatments.👍

Rooms are spacious and technical process is great. While it is generally a good hospital overall, it is expensive and the services/support isn't up to the mark for the pricing. Also it is very hard to reach someone relevant on the phone relevant that can solve your problem or even address the concern. They will have fancy printed instructions and QR codes, none of those work. This is mostly a middle and higher management issue while heavier workload falls on the ground level employees who are running the ship. Doctors change the protocol of patients with long history, none of the doctor's walking into the room seen to have looked at past history available in their systems. Even in case of a patient that they themselves diagnosed with short term memory loss, they will ask the patient for all details and just accept that as needed information. It was excellent three years ago not so much now. Management team profiles surveys then asks you to sign off as "very good" or "excellent". At the same level as Pantaloons customer survey tactics. There are still many employees who are great but I'm concerned as their standards seem to have slipped. The cafeteria provides reasonable cost options for patient attenders/family, etc

Came here for my Dad's Angioplasty. The entire experience is premium and they take care of you with full warmth and care. The nurses always introduces themselves and tell what they are going to do. The staffs absolutely makes sure you are comfortable and well taken care of. I have never seen such care given by any hospital. The entire management team works like a unit to make sure the patient is treated well. Only Negative is they dont inform prior that if a patient is moved to a post operative ward or an ICU..their room wont be available for the bystanders and have to wait at lounge which came as a shock to me. The food is great but it will get tiring and boring quickly. The security staffs is up and about 24*7 and they are a bit relaxed on movement of bystanders which is a commendable thing. Yes the hospital is at a premium rate but if you have a good insurance or the financial backing..it doesn't matter. Rooms are great I got the premium room which was around 10K/ night and suite rooms are available for those who need it. But the level of care and attention remains the same whichever room you are in.

I was quite disappointed with our experience at MGM. While the food was satisfactory and the doctors were competent, the overall service fell short of expectations. The telephone numbers for services were ineffective, often ringing without response. The nurse call system was also very slow to respond, and to visit nursing station to get assistance. When I went outside and informed nurse they assured they will take care but unfortunately my father pressed the nurse calling button for assistance and they never came even after 15 min. It was very bad experience. The room facilities had several issues, including a malfunctioning screen in our twin-sharing room that was not yet replaced even after complaining. Furthermore, the water supply was yellow in color but was rectified after we brought it to the attention of the staff. The TV was also non-functional until we reported the issue. It appears that problems are only addressed when patients actively complain. Despite the hospital's efforts to solicit feedback, our experience suggests that there is significant room for improvement in terms of responsiveness and service quality. I hope that the hospital will take constructive steps to address these issues and enhance the patient experience. Attaching some pictures for reference. Update : even after multiple instances still they don't care on improving the service. Really fedup with the service from Nurses. Very worst service. Nobody cares about anything. Really feeling irritated. Update: the process of discharge was smooth. Also the treatment of doctor was excellent. So giving 3 star Update : came for review and gave the car for parking , last time it was 2 hours 10 sec and now 2 hours 7 min . The valet parking is a big scam. They are purposefully doing this cheating as I was waiting more than 10 min for my car and they came after 15 min and took 75 rs instead of 50 rs . Very bad experience.
