cardiac arrest
He is really super human and one of my God. Not only one of the best surgeon he is also a good personality and gentlemen and human being nature. I dont know any doctor or surgeon who take full responsibility for patient but he is the only surgeon who took responsibility for my father. I am from West Bengal. When my father suddenly have cardiac arrest and doctor said he need bypass surgery immediately then i went many doctors chamber and all of the doctor said that the patient condition is too much bad and this patient have high risk for operation and no one can assure that my father's life. Even i went bangalore Vaidehi Hospital. There can be same . Vaidehi 's doctor said the patient have 98% high risk after operation chances to koma because he have many blood clot in his brain. But dr girinath said no such issues about that and you should take action against that hospital or that doctor who said this. They are admitted my father for 1 month but cant perform surgery and lastly they charge1 lakh bill. We have lost all hope about my father's life. Then i took decision to come to dr. Girinath and he solve all problems with in 5 days and lastly my father got a 2nd life for this God. Many people said that type of highly educated doctor and chennai appolo both may be money sucker but belive me really really they r not. Their doctor nurse and all staff are verry helpfull in any condition and they are really verry serious about all patient and i gave 5 star for that doctor. Lastly want to say in hindi doctor ho to kaisa mr girinath jaisa. He is such a wonderful person and i love and respect him too much. na
Explaining the disease and providing proper treatment with care is appreciated.

Mitral valve replacement
For me Dr Girinath is a super human being next to God. He may not remember us for obvious reasons but we cannot forget him for obvious reasons. On 1/10/84, we came to Chennai from Chandigarh with prior appointment and on 9/10/1984, he operated my sister at Apollo Hospital, Chennai for Mitral valve replacement.... such a soft spoken and professional person he was..... it was a new hospital and if I recall correctly MGR was admitted for his kidney trouble ... but it had no impact on our treatment .. the operation was event free and we were asked to come after a week... we stayed in Mahabalipuram. We were asked to go back after first check up. We reached Chandigarh on 30/10/84, a day before Indira Gandhi assassination. The package was for Rs 40000/ for a twin sharing room; it was a good amount at that time but still it was worth it For me, it was a dream visit to the hospital which has all the care n good things for me to cherish .... my respect and love to Dr Girinath. I wonder if he would read this post... Meena Bublani, the patient has been doing well ever since without any major trouble . May God bless him
Polite, and very humble doctor
