Visited the hospital when as a recommendation from more than 5 doctors in Chennai. My daughter fell very sick, and there was no confirmed diagnosis but scary symptoms. She was taken into emergency and the doctors were diligent and proactive in all areas. The nursing staff is firm yet tactful with children. They were very friendly and put me at ease very quickly.
Their treatment worked and my daughter recovered very quickly. But the doctors made sure she was only discharged when they were comfortable that she would recover at home. It is very clean, and good food in the canteen for caregivers and patients.
If you are ever in the unfortunate situation of needing medical help for children, I recommend Dr Janani and her team for the diagnosis as well as the hospital and staff for the care.
I highly recommend Dr. Janani S for her exceptional care and expertise. Her treatment was thorough, effective, and specific to the needs. She has always taken time to listen to my concerns and provided clear explanations every step of the way. The entire experience was professional, compassionate, and reassuring. I'm grateful for her excellent care and wouldn't hesitate to return for any future medical needs.
We had a hysterectomy surgery for my mom at Kanchipuram Kamakoti child trust hospital. We were blessed to find the right doctor Dr. Usha Natarajan mam who did a through diagnosis with no hurry and patiently and clearly explained the diagnosis and the treatment procedure with us. The surgery was successful and the most unexpected delight for us was the nursing support provided. All the nurses who treated my mom took care of her like her own daughter and from my heart I would say that this the best nursing support I have experienced over the many years of other hospitalisation our family had. I would highly recommend the hospital and the wonderful Dr. Usha mam for all gynaecology treatments.
