An adept team that gives you an immense confidence with their astute services!
If you are entering their center with a global eye, then they will definitely look tiny for your eyes.but then you will slowly realize that they are not small but a nano. From the welcoming at the reception to the consultation, you cannot expect a conventional hospital environment there and I hope that is key purpose one could choose this place as you can access from the staff nurse to the chief surgeon even.
Met Dr.Karthik Ram(The Chief Surgeon-Chennai Plastic Surgery) after few minutes of waiting(got little angry of waiting after a fixed appointment but when I came to know that he is back from several surgeries, understood his delay.). He introduced to his colleague Dr. Arvind and started my consultation, as I done my liposuction already in the year 2007(from a different hospital and not happy about the result) I was very skeptical about doing the liposuction again and asked him whether I can go ahead with the bariatric surgery but to my surprise both the doctors denied spontaneously not to opt for it when I am no way near that level.(before meeting Dr.karthik ram, I consulted few other doctors who actually suggested to go ahead with the bariatric as a permanent solution even though am just 89kg). I was completely zapped by the level of knowledge and experience these two doctors have in their field suggested me to do some tests and come back with the results so that they can decide whether to go ahead with the liposuction now or later.( since am a diabetic they wanted to make sure my sugar levels are in control). Believe it or not, they didn’t even charge me any consulting fees for it(and first time in my lifetime I seen an hospital that values its customer than an upfront money).
So I went back with my results two days later(from my preferred lab- as they don’t insist on which lab we should go.), After seeing my results Dr.Karthik
asked me to consult with his anaesthetist before deciding on the surgery(only because am diabetic, they wanted to double sure on everything)…. Met the Anaesthetist Dr.TNS who is again an young cool person, clarified all my doubts that includes the chances of mortality(gave me extreme confidence about the surgery) and suggested me to stay for a day post surgery in the hospital to monitor my sugar levels even though it is a day care surgery.so I fixed a date and went back home(nothing I paid to the hospital till date- surprise for me continued…)
The Chennai Plastic Surgery front office sent me a detailed budget email on how much it would cost me for the surgery and post surgery and given me two centre for operation including a larger brand and a little know brand pretty close to their centre(i preferred the closer one since they sent me the pics of the OT looked perfect for my surgery), even though I had to cancel the operation dates for couple of times with no committed amount, Dr.karthik stays with the same cute smile and said whenever I am comfortable and ready, then they can go ahead with my surgery.so I finally frozen the date to 20/2/2016( Saturday) and asked to be there by 7am.
I went to the Chennai Plastic Surgery centre at 7 am and in few minutes, I was taken to the consultation room for the markings(both the chief and dr. arvind was there) and asked me whether am mentally prepared for the surgery and also asked me to stay drained for another two hours so that they can finish bit smaller duration surgery…meanwhile I was allotted to an executive room at the nearest hospital where the surgery is gone be performed and other activities like body shaving and blood sugar checking where continuously performed and I didn’t even feel like I was waiting…by around 9.45 am I was walked in to the operation theatre where all the three doctors and staff nurses waiting for me, in the background I hear AR Rahaman songs and it was like wow and I was thinking these guys surely understand the patient’s psychology before treating the one…Dr.karthik ram asked me where I would like to visit while they are performing the surgery I replied “somewhere I could travel and come back safe “, he laughed and said don’t worry about coming back, you are completely in the safer hands…I said then let me go to Switzerland… that was the last words I spoke before I woke up after he calling me and said the surgery is over….
After Few hours of anaesthetic effects, I was able to talk to people around me(as I was briefed about the swellings and other post surgery effects earlier, I wasn’t worried much about it), my sugar levels were monitored throughout the day and the measurements for the pressure garments was taken in few hours post surgery…Dr.Karthik ram and Dr.arvind visited me constantly to review about my pain and instructed the staff nurse to stay back and take care of me even though I had my personal attender…
Finally I should surely mentioned about the staffs that this hospital have one MR.Vinod( a staff nurse) who was teaching me at his young age how to service a client without a small hesitation and never slept the whole night even though I was constantly nagging him because of pain and Ms.Lakshmi(staff nurse) who’s attitude cannot be matched with non other than a seasoned(professional Nurse), and Waseem a front desk executive who even took the pain of booking a cab for us and send off till the car…(Blessed Owners and Damn good Staffs and the culture)…
I could conclude this review with the following things, why I chose chennai plastic surgery in the first point
1) More the surgery one who perform more the experience he will have(am sure Dr.karthik ram is doing atleast 3 surgeries a day so I was damn sure on his skills to give my most precious life in his hands.)
2) Why would I go back nonstop to this hospital - Chennai Plastic Surgery has an adept team and an astute services are guaranteed, the costing surely fits my pocket.
3) Why would someone like me take a pain of writing this long review about an hospital in the third day of their surgery - Because people like me who always prefer the best, only look for it in an established brand but fail to recognise the upcoming one like Chennai Plastic Surgery…
Last but not Least…
IF you can read my review after few years from now…you will understand the reasons why this Chennai plastic surgery and Dr.karthik ram and his team became No 1 hospital in chennai, till then keep yourself healthy and beautiful!
