Before I say the good thing about the hospital, the bad part is the approach road. With this small negative aspect kept aside this hospital is really good. I thought this hospital to be yet another good hospital until few days back. I used to visit this hospital for last 3-4yrs for various illness. I counted it as yet another good hospital. So what changed my mind?
When my son fell down and got a deep cut in his head, I went to another hospital in prominent location near Koyambedu as I was in a place near to that hospital when he got his chin cut. To get first aid I took him there. They exgerated and told me to get admitted to do stitching through Anesthesia which would cost Rs15000. I decided to come to Abhijay hospital as I know that they will not exaggerate as I did take treatment for son 1yr back in this hospital when he had similar cut in his head. When I came here, they took him, using local Anasthesia, the duty doctor did the stiches. Many useful facts I noticed there..
1) They did not ask me to pay registration fee or anything at all until they completed the stitches. So, treatment first, money next. Since this is emergency, I believe they had the culture to treat first. They believed that the cost would be affordable.
2) Total cost including medicine, admission, treatment was Rs 350.
3) Total time it took was 15mins. In 15mins I came out with my son.
4) Duty doctor came in 1 min of us reaching and started the treatment.
5) Duty doctor started to talk to my son telling him that pain will go in no time and that he asked his grandpa to by chocolates, candy, etc, etc.. He understood the pulse of patients.
People in that area already know about this hospital which is evident from the number of patients visiting. I wish many hospitals learn this trick of serving people and thereby making money out of it than just extracting money from patients.
