Visited For Fistula Surgery
Happy with: Treatment satisfaction
I have had fistula for about 1.5 years and was very worried about the surgery. After a lot of research, I consulted Dr Vekatesh. After looking at the MRI, he suggested to go for lay open surgery (Fistulotomy).It's been 2.5 months now and I am fully cured and I feel different to live a life without the pain I have had for years. Undoubtedly one of the best colorectal surgeons in India.Dear Dr.Venkatesth, If you are reading this, Thank you is an understatement. I wish you, all good health and happiness to help the unfortunate ones.
I was suffering from some chronic problem for some time. I have visited many doctors across Chennai and got almost all the tests done for the problem. Each one gave me different diagnosis and antibiotic treatment accordingly. At last, I saw the reviews online and consulted the doctor in his clinic. He just saw me for a couple of minutes and made the exact diagnosis. * *** **** * ** ******* ***** **** **** * ****** ********* I am giving this review after totally confirming that I am absolutely fine. I am very thankful to Dr. Venkatesh Munikrishnan. I would happily and confidently recommend him.

Hoped for better: Value for moneyWait time
It wasn't a quite pleasant experience, visiting the doctor.. Had the appointment fixed at 6PM IST, but then have received a call from clinic (at 4PM) to visit at 4:30 PM itself, with the reason stating, doctor would be busy in the evening. Had to rush clinic, but was asked to wait(almost every patient waiting) about an hour, with doctor not being engaged with any of the patients.
The fee being on a higher scale (1000 per patient), which is quite expensive ** ********** **** **** ******* ** ***** the expectation on doctor would on the par level. There wasn't any any check up done, instead taken up the heath grievances from the patient orally and just suggested to come next day again with CT scan reports in hand. The discussion hasn't even lasted for 5 mins to pay 1k with the feel of unwillingness.
Have referred another expert for the same, who has done a thorough checkup, with patient recovering from illness satisfactorily through his medicines, without hefty investments on CT scan.
Altogether, i would never suggest visiting this doctors to friends/family.
Visited For Hemorrhoids
Hoped for better: Wait time
Doctor cancelled my appointment last minute which is very disappointing. Booked appointment in Greams Road Apollo one day prior to the consultation. And all i got was "Patient un-available" message.
He just tested the affected area and said nothing to worry and prescribed some medicines.. Will post my condition after taking medicines.. His words give me some hope and he clearly explained that I am completely normal.. I was worrying by studying different things through various websites.. pls stop this behaviour and consult with this doctor.. ***** *** ** ** ** ***
Visited For Hemorrhoids Treatment
Happy with: Doctor friendlinessExplanation of the health issueTreatment satisfactionValue for money
I had a piles operation one year back. I was feeling weird during bowl moment for few days now. so I was scared it has come back. I visited the doctor and he examined and said there is nothing wrong and he did not even give any medicine. I have seen doctors who generally give pills even if there is no issues. He was two friendly and also explained how it happens what to eat to avoid in future. very good experience.
Visited For Hemorrhoids

I had general gastric issues and wasn’t ware that he is a surgeon before booking the slot, as soon a I explained my issues to him the only thing the doc said was to do a endoscopy and when I asked him my queries he immediately said that he’s a surgeon and will not be able to help much. So he recommended me to another doctor for medicine. So basically I sat with him for 2mins and he took his entire fees without even providing the diagnosis ** **** ***** ** ********** ** ********
