I visited the Apollo Hospital (Greams Road, Chennai) recently for Cardiology Treatment and the overall experience was excellent. Many thanks to Dr.YVC & team for the great service. His  dedication and commitment was so impressive and I feel He is most admirable and trusted Cardiologist in Chennai. Experienced Nurses provided the great service. The Patient food and canteen food was nice. The Cleaning service (Malathi, Padmini & Raja) was very good. The Billing and Insurance service can be improved. Overall the best Hospital in Chennai with experienced Doctors and staff.
