    First things first. The staff hound you like collection agents to sell 'packages' in the middle of a crisis with no care or concern for what you are going through. The doctor although knowledgeable will take you to a cure through the longest and most expensive path in an effort to maximize revenue for the organization which results in a lot of useless interventions being prescribed. My mother was put through a physiotherapy 'package' for a week when she was in an unconscious state and they kept telling that she would have been worse of if not for the physiotherapy - worse than what?. The doctor himself kept refusing to give any medications to alleviate my mother's symptoms while I was struggling to manage her at home saying we should not drug her considering her age and the moment she was shifted to their facility indiscriminately started medicating without any discussion or consent from family. Yielding to the subtle manipulations of the doctor and the persistent hounding of his staff I had paid for a 'package' for a year's worth of care and when I registered my disappointment with the care they quietly pocketed the 20,000 I had paid and went incommunicado instead of reaching out and offering to resolve. I know this is not an experience unique to this facility and pretty much all care facilities look only at maximizing revenue and give care a second priority yet I thought this feedback should be on the public domain should it help some family. Update on 18/1/2023 I had taken her to multiple places and had not been happy most of the time because that is the state of medical care in India today. You have put out the entire medical history of a patient on public domain to defend your business interests. Having been educated in the US you would surely know that this is a HIPAA violation and you could be sued and your license suspended if this were US. But then, this is India and we get away with a lot of things. Why would someone who has paid for a year's worth of care terminate your services after a month? Would you not have wanted to understand this at that time? If it was I who had owed you money then would you have simply ignored that email and moved on? Wouldn't you have established communication and hounded me? Why do I have to 'ask' a refund? As an ethical organization why would you want to keep money for which you were not going to render services? After refusing to give any medications despite multiple requests to alleviate mother's suffering while she was at home, the VERY NIGHT on which she was admitted to your dementia care facility she was given antipsychotics. I was able to see her worsening with every passing day due to the side effect of the drugs. Ativan while not helping her calm down or sleep was causing loss of balance and coordination and she was becoming less and less ambulatory. You neither visited the facility to examine the patient nor came on the phone despite multiple requests for 9 FULL DAYS when I had to eventually discharge her and bring her home. This despite my 'package' covering for teleconsultation. I was told by the staff there too that patients admitted in Kalyani under other doctors receive much better care and attention. The decision to catheterize itself was questioned by other care providers due to its traumatic effect in an already delirious person. While I understand your need to avoid a bad review being in public domain the way to address it is not by talking down the family, sharing confidential patient information in public domain and hiding behind technicalities like not "asking" for a refund. I had written this about another physician in another review. "On the day of discharge as I drove my two wheeler into the petrol bunk opposite the hospital I saw Dr. Saranya drive in behind me in a humble Scooty which was symbolic of her approach to patient care - making good with whatever is the bare minimum that is necessary." I guess it is the general approach that we have towards life that reflects in our approach to patient care too.

    Pathetic during covid. First they charged hefty fee for a home visit. after first visit to check covid patient, when called back they started to push the 75K package to us. cudnt even talk to doc for a repeat consult only a nurse with zero knowledge attempted to answer our queries in vain. Whenever called, only their package will be pushed. when we didnt take the package, didnt follow up at all. we ended up getting treatment from another organization. pathetic and another money mongering organization only for the rich. Keep away from them.

    We are grateful to this team for taking care of our parents, both of whom had COVID pneumonia last month. As a daughter settled in Dubai, it was extremely difficult for me to travel down to coimbatore. They assigned a educated nurse at home, doctors did daily visits to home, lab test were done and both of my parents recovered really well. The daily updates from the medical team and their promptness in answering our questions really eased all our worries. Great service- God bless you all.

    The doctor visit at home is very helpful. Emergency nurse services are a boon to people like us whose parents are staying alone in Coimbatore. Thank you.

    We share great joy in sharing this testimonial. We came to know about DREC through a doctor friend of us who recommended Dr Rahul and his team to provide end of life care to our mother who was diagnosed with end stage renal failure. The home nurse provided was very compassionate to our family and did an amazing job of keeping her comfortable. Daily visits by the doctor consoled us and made her happy. They have an amazing team- young and learned professionals who really know how to take care. Doctor and senior nurses were available round the clock to support us and guide us. All required medicines and equipments were delivered at home without us needing to go through the hassle of arranging it. We have nothing but praise for this little team of theirs. Highly recommend to anyone seeking palliative Care. - Mrs Ananya Kumar, Illinois.

    Having run pillar to post seeking help for my father who has been diagnosed with dementia, I found immense relief in putting him under Dr Rahul's Care. They have rich expertise in dementia care and provide full spectrum of care starting from dementia screening to a dedicated dementia facility.They are available round the clock for any kind of support. I would fully recommend this clinic for any person looking for dementia care.

    I have been coming to the clinic for almost 8 months now. Always greeted at the car as my husband is a Parkinson’s patient by the nurses. Very polite and caring and efficient . Dr Rahul one feels more like a family friend. Very comforting presence and very reassuring and helpful not only to the patient but also the carer. I feel very fortunate that we are under his care.
