They provide a help desk at the entrance where patients along with their attendant should fill in the form regarding covid-19 and thier appointment details. After that, they put a wrist tag to patient (orange) and attendant (blue). Only the patient and a single attendant can visit the respected doctor, no others are allowed since the covid-19 and also due to more vibrant of patients in and out. They took a clear check up and are good in EYE surgery and medications

My experience was good. The hospital has systematic appointment and treatment. There is a dedicated point for everything. SN main is usually crowded.Experience with doctor was good. She took care of the patient nicely and gave her contact details so that we can contact her in case of any problems.

Good place for eye checkup. Proper maintenance and Good service

Very poorly organised. Waiting time is too long. Every check up they make u wait for long. Staff will send other patients before u if u dont check ur seniority.They gave appointment and after making wait for 3 hrs , tell that doctor is not available.

Please dont go to this hospital.waste of money..Dr Mamta Agarwal from cornea section dont know the manners to talk with patients.Basic things on how to behave with patients needs to be taught to her by their management.

Good place for your eye checkup a mg d treatment. Bt specs prices very high here. Specs you can take from out.

Without any second thought we prefer to go to this hospital which was started in people services in mind. Medical Research Foundation helped many more in the society Dr. SS Badrinath (people call his assistant Chief) a great man behind this noble services.Name the specialty in ophthalmology, Sankara Nethralaya will be there for sure. Only thing there will be long wait time, please bear with it, all staff are so courteous. My Father underwent 2surgeries here. People at different branches of Sankara Nethralaya are well maintained places with all infrastructure. Except wait time, you can very well experience their services for sure.

Worst Hospital..they dont know how to behave with patients..they talk rudely especially Dr Mamta Agarwal from cornea..i think management has to teach her basic ethics on how to behave with patients.please dont waste your hard earn money in this hospital.

Only for Dr. Chetan Rao. He made me comfortable with the laser procedure.

Extraordinary services especially for opthalmic problems. One centre for all eye Problems. Visited for uveitis problem

Sakhara Nethralaya is a hospital for EYE.Its a place where lot of people come for there eye treatment and really its a very good eye hospital.I told good eye hospital because I went there for my daughters eye treatment and initially the took 600 rupee for appointment and after that i need three times visit several doctor but they not take any charge.And after full investigation they give the final treatment within 600.And all doctor and nurse are really very co-operative to solve the problem.They take time how much its need to solve.So, if you want to visit the hospital for treatment then you need the appointment first and visit hospital according the date and schedule time.Thanks all member of the hospital to provide good service.

As usual always superb. One of my favourite place. Not as a patient but as an outsider I have admired many things. Today impressed by looking at this.

Very bad behaviour of Mamta Agarwal.. She thinks she is the owner of hospital.. she don’t know the basic manners of treating the patients. Management please keep an eye on her..

Fix an appointment before going to the hospital, via website.. Awesome checking..

Dr. behaviour is very good others hospital

Very good behaviour of all staffs and doctor❤️.it is the best eye hospital I ever seen.Fully Impressed.MY EXPERIENCE—You dont have to carry report all the time because they upload report very quickly and then your tension to carry it reduces.You dont have to face any problem in hospital due to your language if you know Hindi/English.but outside the hospital it is difficult to do basic conversation with locals, auto driver,bus driver or in ola also you face problems.The auto driver cheats a lot here. So prefer to book Ola. or bus.

Excellent place for checkup .security behaviour is poor.thats why giving 3 stars

I have been lucky to have experienced US hospitals too.. But by far Sankara Nethralaya was a different level in terms patient care coordination and quick diagnosis & treatment. During an emergency eye treatment for our 3 year old.. Their appointment mechanism and compassionate team all together it was a great experience!!

Life saver for me. Doctors are greatTreatment is awesome.Staff also helpful

Where should I start? Having to wait for more than two hours before the doctor arrived or the doctor not even sparing me 5 mins to listen to what I have got to say or the doctor not even providing ensuring privacy of her patients?I have a repeating case of eye allergies. And Ive been to their emergency care more than once, only for the doctors there to be rude and just prescribe some random drops again and again. I thought getting an appointment would ensure some level of care and sincerity. But no. After paying 700 rs. this female wasnt even willing to listen to what Ive got to say. I brought previous medical prescription, which had heavier doses than the onces she prescribed on this visit, which she didnt even look into.She gave away some less effective drops after insisting I got the same during my emergency visit and it didnt work. But worst of all, she said my symptoms didnt exist and that she cant accept it and refused to provide proper treatment.Next, the door was open. For all the patients. I dont know how others see this, but it irks me. Anyone could peek into the consultation room and could hear what was being spoken about. She didnt even ask if its okay to leave the door open nor offered an explanation for why it was open.We paid for the consultation which apparently didnt happen.Even if it were a free treatment, you dont get to disrespect the patient. So, Ms. Mammta Agarwal, if you dont want to be on the line of service, during such a difficult time like covid, I can understand. So please step down from your position instead of wasting our time. You just denied me proper diagnosis for your personal reasons.

One of the best hospital in sub continental i would prefer to say Asia. brilliant arrangement, high tech machinates and skilled medic are available with most reasonable price.

Staff is helpfull. They replied to my queries politely. I found them helpfull and lots of respect to them.

Unfortunately without reading review we went there. As faced by many, after getting appointment have to wait for 3-4hrs to meet the doctor. If you know some higher officials/senior doctors in hospital, then you can meet the doctor quickly which i noticed during the wait period. If you have really full day just to do eye check up, you can go here. Still not sure about end result which you may get from others review. Absolutely no parking for visitors, you have park your vehicle in near by public parking.

Good hospital. Salute to the effort. Only request is to have senior doctor interacting at a stage when patient wants to meet.

I liked it much, very systametic method of treatment given, Doctors are very kind and good.

Worst experience ever. Doctor in the emergency department was very rude with a 6-year-old boy(patient). They dont even have the least bit of care and concern towards the patient. The doctor shouted at a 6 year for not cooperating for the checkup. He is just a scared kid who was forced on the chair by 4 strangers. How do you expect the kid to react? Would the doctors behave the same with their own kid? Theres a way to treat patients especially a kid! I was forced to give that one star because theres no other option.

Its is good place to check up eye, eye laser surgery & open eye surgery for children, intermediate age as well as old people. Doctors are well specialist.Parking facility for both car and bike.Wheel chair available in entrance.Dinner area also available for patients.

Good doctor, but doesn’t follow appointment order. She just calls whoever she likes to call first. Its just upsetting to see hospital as big as Sankara Nethralaya doesnt notice improper appointment system.

Indias best eye hospital. As it is best lots of patients are there daily basis.so have patience. But neat and clean well organized

One of the Premier Eye hospital in India. The facilities provided here are Excellent and at a reasonable cost.There are many specialities related to eye like Glucoma,Vitreo Retinal, departments available.Branches of Sankara Nethralaya are spread all over Chennai City.The hospital Premises are Neat and Clean ,well Maintained.

Visited Paediatric section. Good care

Not good hospital. Just one doctor refers to another doctor and each doctor ask for their own tests. It takes many days and huge amount of tests cost before prescription to patient. This is not a worth hospital while comparing to guru nanak eye hospitals in Delhi and amritsar.

Staffs who sitting in LAB cash counter is very irresponsible & dont know how to be patient with patients.

Worst reception management. No one is taking the call.

Staffs who sitting in cash counter is very irresponsible & dont know respect patients.

I am suriyakala My MRD no is 2895616 . On 27/1/2020 we booked appointment with Dr.Pramod Bendre Retina Specialist for second opinion. He told no treatment can do for my vision problem only need to go with low vision test and told to review him if necessary. So on the same day we booked appointment for low vision test on 8/2/2020 but due to some financial problem we changed the appointment to march month. But the lockdown started in the March month so my appointment cancelled then we were tried calling each month from April to August to get appointment but they are telling low vision clinic not yet opened. Today 7/9/2020 I called to appointment session that person is telling again need to go review with doctor Dr. pramod Bendre . In last review itself he told nothing can be done only options is to go with low vision test and review if necessary then why we need to waste our money for going on again with doctor review. We too middle class working hard in this covid time to make money. If it is necessary we itself go for review with doctor but nothing can be done already told then why we need to waste our money. I am very fed with your appointment staff attitude and speaking harshly with patients and getting money as patients are rich and they getting money from tree branches. Even Middle class also come to your hospital try to understand everyone’s situation how we can spent again Rs700 for doctor review with no use and Rs750 for Low vision test. If possible Give us Low vison test appointment on 19/9/2020 others wise no problem any reputed eye hospital available in Chennai we will go with that. But very worst service and wont recommend to others.

Good maintaining &hospitality to give right way to treat the eye care here.

Best eye hospital..👍

For contact lens they force to do general eye checkup and they loot money. And they wont give prescription for contact lens unless otherwise you buy lenses here. Time to switch hospital..

I visited Sankara Netralaya Medical Research Foundation, Nungambakkam yesterday and the experience was terrible. Dr. Richa Dhiman whos a Cornea fellow there. She was rude and disrespectful to me and my 75-year-old grandmother whos also a patient.After waiting several hours they took a few tests and sent me to Dr. Richa Dhiman. After the completion of check-up I needed to know if theres any increase/decrease in my eye sight so I mentioned the date of my previous appointment and requested for the prescription in any form(hardcopy/softcopy) possible. She asked me what do I need it for and I explained. She couldve replied politely instead she asked me unnecessary questions and started mumbling. She then denied to give me the current prescription also. Not to mention she rolled her eyes and responded with Ill not give, go go.. what can you do? and tried to shush me. It wasnt just that, she also treated my grandmother poorly with no respect at all telling her to stand up from her wheel chair and all. Such unprofessional behaviour cannot be tolerated.It made me wonder if this is how she treats all of her patients. We paid rs. 700 each for consultation alone and she acted as if shes doing charity. Education alone isnt enough, she needs to learn some manners and hospitality first.Other staffs were decent and one optometrist in particular were very polite and kind. Although, cant blame the entire hospital for one staffs behaviour. Dr. Richa Dhiman is such a disgrace to the hospitals reputation. Its due to few ill-mannered staffs like these, the hospitals name and rating goes down.

Hi now I want to write a review about sankara netralaya it is in nungambakkam it is in chennai and it was verry famous hospital for opthamology and it is very very goood in infrastructure facilities and medicall care is also very goo d in servicing to the patients. staff attitude is also very good manner and very awesome services to the patients.

Condescending. Unprofessional. Rude.

I would like to complaint about Dr Shruti Suresh. Very unprofessional and rude to the people. Does not know how to talk. Sad to see a doctor is behaving so cheap.

God gift eyes is good hospital of sankra netralay chenni

First time visiter should go only Shankar netralaya MAIN

Hospital is good. I didnt think of any other hospital, I visited for my Mother and we had to wait for a long time, Treatment was great. Let me explain the other things.1) My initial worry was time - I Spent from 5.30 AM to 5 PM . I will add steps on how to reduce this.2) My second issue was Parking for my car. - They have basement parking, Basement 1 is mostly for doctors(around 25 to 30 cars can be parked). Basement 2 is for visitors and we can also park around 25 to 30 cars. When I went in around 5.30 AM, there were no car in basement 1&2, But I was told to park in B2. Throughout the day I was checking and there was parking available all the time. So, Dont worry about your parking.How to manage time. - Online appointments are the best, you dont have to wait for a long time. But you will have to know which dept to go and Doctor details and all, Otherwise its painful.Offline appointment. - Reach the hospital by 5.30 AM itself. They start giving tokens by 6, Get your token, (mine was 8). then fill the form as soon as possible, dont even wait for a Second.Go to Counter 8, there will be a small display that calls in order. that guy gives an option if you want to visit their other branch hospital( I said no), He will update your details and then your name will be called for payment. (they always want to make sure, if this is your first time or not)Now in counter 7 they will call your name and you have to pay 600. Now this time also there is a token system, (mine is 35) because I didn know about this.now some BSC Optometry practitioners will take your forms from counter 7 and read out your name, Around 7. you have to follow them to floor 4. The they will do through checking(for an hour) and also explain your issue to them. then they will send you to counter 9 again. they will send you to the right counter now as per your issue( I had to go to 12).Counter 9 might give you some drops, (just once, twice or sometimes thrice) as per your issue.Here is where the pain starts, Even though I reached that counter 12 by 9, I had to wait till 1PM to visit the doc(Priority is given for all the Online appointments only) then only offline appointments are allowed.the doctor checked throughly, then explained well, then I had to go to counter 9 for eye drops (thrice 15 minutes wait time for each drop) then had Lunch and then visit again(had to again wait for long time) because of online appointments.Canteen was really great. food was nice and well maintained. I went on a busy Saturday and lot o crowd was there. Staff there speak multiple languages, So dont worry about that issue.

Wait.. wait ...and keep waiting for the doctors. If you ask secretary that when do the doctors come.. their response is something like.. they have gone for lunch and not sure whether they will come back or leave home directly from there. All these things happened even after having proper appointment. Very wrost experience. Spent a day almost just by sitting

They provide very nice eye care .

Well maintained eye hospital.

Most worst eye hospital in India. I had an appointment with Dr. L Vijaya senior glaucoma consultant out there. I was shocked to see her rude behavior towards us without any reason. I dont know what kind of organization is this? rather treating patients please learn manners how to behave.Never ever go for dr. L Vijaya, you will regret to feel as the whole organization is a waste. I dont know about other doctors.

I got appointment through emergency and DR. checked my eyes & patiently listened to what happened. My problem was my vision was blur and faded when I see thru left eyes. Emergency Dr. Clarified that there are some spots in the cornea which could be a reason for blurred vision and it should go away with medication. Later, I was referred to DR. Mamta Agarwal (Cornea Specialist) and she does not want to listen anything. Once, I entered she told; let me check the vision and certified after usual checks that vision is normal & existing glasses are good. Does not even note which eye I had a problem. I asked why I am not able to see clearly through my left eyes she told I Dont know but vision is good. I did NOT take appointment for getting medically fit certificate for joining work (or) for medical insurance qualification. Empathy: 0 Sympathy:0 No listening and probing the problem. I asked rest of the opthamologist and other Drs confirmed spots on my left eyes and you are telling Cornea is clear ? Response was I am Clinician and my decision is final.

Worst Experience - Prefer Apollo Hospital than thisTry to avoid this hospital

India ka best eye hospital

Worst servicealways asks to come 2 days later, unnecessarly do all the tests . they will loot your pocket , min 1-2 months we have to walkin daily

Good hospital and hospitality

This is main branch all the facility regarding eye checkup with good and responsive docters.

Good place and staff is good behavior very good sanastha

Best hospital for eye in india

Good place . BEHAVIOUR OF STAFFS ARE awesome.I think best eye hospital in South india....

Superb And Hygiene hospital

All Eye check up and surgeries are done here at affordable price ranges. It is situated Near Womens Christian College

Best hospital... excellent treatment

I dont know why google always shows other wrong address and cab/auto takes me to some other location which is correct.

Good service.

Doctors are not GooD.. Environment is Best

The doctors are very copretive and genuine and especially the job of secretaries r very responsible

Best Eye 👀 Hospital in Indian.

Expensive. One time consultation charges are Rs.850 and subsequent visit Rs.700. Though it has the high rise facilities.

Good doctors, excellent facilities and equipment. Poor queue management, poorly kept toilets and canteen. Overstaffed. A little work study, time and motion study will make the place more efficient.

One of the best eye hospitals in India and the top in Chennai. Visited for my mothers cataract surgery. Felt very comfortable with the treatment and the process. Has very experienced and qualified professionals and doctors here. Very good infrastructure and has all the required laboratory and imaging services in-house itself. The process may sometimes get slow and you may have to wait for 2-3 hours depending on the doctor and the treatment you came for. Everything is digital so there is more consistency in the patient data being reviewed. Their appointment system is also robust.

Waiting time was very long.. Had to wait for 5 hours

The post-operative care was very poor. The staff named Kasthuri (EMP ID: 1104988) behaved rude and in unjustifiable manner. Patient care was the least she was bothered about. She is unfit to work in this industry.This was way below the class of Sankara Nethralaya!

Everything is best...23/11/2020

A well equipped infrastructure and specialist team of doctors and technicians..All things are disciplined and well maintainedThe staffs are also very helpfulThe prices of tests are also clearly written on your description and you are not forced to get your tests doneAnd after your checkup or treatment you will get a satisfied answer with nothing hidden

Very well managed hospital. The staffs and doctors are very professional. My father underwent cataract and retinopathy operation. The doctor and staffs were very helpful from pre operation to post operation. I would not say that the cost of the operation was cheap but certainly manageable than other hospitals of same category. The hospital is always crowded and the staffs make sure to address all patients but still some of the patients lose their temper and shout at them. Please remember an eye check-up is not like a common viral fever where you get some tablets and move on. For an eye check-up the eyes needs to be dilated several times before you see the doctor. Obviously it takes more time and people/patients needs to understand and be patient.

Worst response from reception and telephone operator

I really proud of this Hospital.... Services of them are also very good..... They tack care of a patient so carefully. They are very sincere about there patients.......

One of the best eye care hospital in the world.

Excellent Service at Nominal cost..

Best place in South India for eye care

Very good place for treatment of critical cases as well as problems in eyesDoctors are very humbleThey give special attention to patient and the family member of the patientManagement is also best like the doctors are.....Mess is also best for vegetarians and food price is normal.Cost of treatment is also within the limits not costly like any private hospitals like apple or any....Overall if you have any problem in your eyes so must visit this hospital....

Well experienced doctors and nurses. The support staff from top grade to beginner grade are extremely well behaved and polite to every person. Well planned policies. Adequate care and precautions taken to avoid any human error. Clean environment. Good canteen. Very happy with the service they provide.

Gone absolutely commercial. Consulting fee is Rs500 (with one free consultation within 30 days of previous visit, for which appointment is normally not given, making you shell out another Rs500 during your next visit ) vs Rs100 charged by Aravind Eye Hospital (with 3 free consultations within 90 days of previous visit). An OCT Scan costs Rs 3250 whereas it costs only Rs 750 (with printout) & Rs 600 (without printout) at Aravind.Truly Atrocious. Spoiling all the good name earned by Dr. Badrinath. Really dont know if hes aware of this.

Taking round of this hospital since last 2 days,no value of time,they are charging more than the private hospitals,one doctor will pass you to other doctor,than one test after other test,very expansive test by the way,trainee doctors will see and when i ask why you guys dont value time,they say hospital is overcrowded.I think they are cheating people money by multiple test,i wasted around 10000 rs in 2 days and now moving to other hospital,dont ever come to this hospital,its utter waste of time and money.

Best for eye treatments.

THEY GIVE GOOD ATTENTION.... AND STAFF ARE VERY HELPFUL TO PATIENTS.....

Waiting for doctor to see from 12:30 PM and its 4:15 PM till now the doctor has not even seen. People did registration after us has visited the doctor. This hospital doesnt not understand the meaning soft talk and the staff does whatever they want to.

It is an very efficient place run by service minded people. The turn around time for a test or a consultation is around 20 minutes, and this is the biggest different from most hospitals and clinics. If there is a waiting time for the tests, then the patients are informed about the duration of the wait.The cost of the tests is also very nominal. The technicians are very competent and patient.

I am V.Vimala who went to Sankara Nethralaya, College Road, Chennai for eye infection and got completely cured within in 2 months from the most excellent Doctors Dr.Nikila Chandra Jain (Dr.NCJ) Dr.Deepthi Molleti (Dr.DM) & Dr.Shah Deep Dashrathbhai (Dr.SDD) Right from the entrance of hospital Securities, Secretarys, Nurses and House keeping staff are taking utmost care and very devoted to their duty. We Thank god for giving us a wonderful doctors mentioned above. Once again thank the 3 Doctors we had for the treatment. We strongly recommend this hospital in Chennai for any type of eye problems.

Excellent hospital. Very well managed, staffs are skilled, doctors are very cordial and well reputed. A hospital with low cost yet provides world class treatment.

Great

Third class hospital... Staff behavior very rude.. Emergency means nothing here...Secretary always told wait wait wait...Noone can listen u.... They will take charges more than private hospital.. And no facility for patients.... Am here for one week but no improvement seems in patient... They will give u appointment and appointment and last they told you for surgery....which will cost more than a private hospital... If u think to treatment here take the leave minimum for one week........ I miss my train yesterday and i miss my flight today because of there slow procedure...

Sankara Nethralaya ,is a good eye hospital

They are doing a good job, but their competitor Dr Agarwal hospital is caring and guiding too much and they are more humble to people than this hospital. I mean this hospital is very good but their competitor realised competition doing little better to attract crowd

Time consuming. They waste our time and do nothing . It would had been good some time ago but now a days its not good enough. Just try your luck, may be You get well. But based on my experience, its just an ordinary hospital,, with ordinary staff and ordinary service. However fees is comparable low and canteen facility is very good. Dont come here firstly, it should be last resort, not first. Specially for who are living far away from it.

Solution for all the eye problems.- Call them to fix an appointment. It is harder to get appointment. So better to get early.- For under privileged the treatment is free. Need to carry some documents to get this benefit.- Once you are in, they have an excellent tracking mechanism with flow chart and guide us to the next test or action. They clearly instruct as when to come and where. It is unbelievably stream lined process.- They treat very rare eye disorders. Excellent doctors and patience are being referred from across India.- This hospital is located at the heart of the city with excellent transportation facility.

Indian best eye hospital with experienced consultant

It is a Perfect Place for Eye Treatment. Not only that,the behavior of the all staff is so sweet that many of us cant imagine.

You have to wait for lifetime to do checkups. Being in chennaite as well I have to take 1 week for taking approval from physician. Tested our patience. (Day-1 Intial- doctor checkupDay -2 Ecg 1/ Blood test.DAY-3 Physician another day.DAY-4 CARDIO clearance.Day -5 anesthesia clearance.Operation. We have to stay one day ..Do we require 5 days for laser surgery or can be cut short ? Am not satisfied and outside people will suffer a lot.

Very very very good eye hospital!Those who are like time consuming, thats really ridiculous. All they did was necessary perfect eye check up to doctor visit! Charges are nominal for the quality!They didnt skip any required diagnosis!Get into line from 6AM, you will be out completing your doctor visit by 11AM.6AM offline registration starts, and eye check up starts around 8AM. And doc visit starts around 9AM.I was on 48th waiting list. As I reach at 6:30AM!Helpful staffs.Cheaps canteen with really tasty homely food! Serving from sandwich to rice!Cafeteria coffee costs Rs14, really awesome coffee I have tasted in my life!
