Ananthapuri Hospitals Complaints & Reviews

Extremely dissatisfied by the care they give patients admitted in the hospital. The hospital aims at monetary benefits rather than patient care, the staff are rude, insensitive and not appropriate for a hospital.

Me and my sister had done an executive full body checkup on 21st Dec 2020. The reports for Vit B12 and papsmear were to be sent to our respective mail ids within 4 days. Now its been more than a week. Have called up the hospital and raised the request multiple times with the PR. We were told the reports were ready and the mails would be sent asap. Not sure why there is so much delay.
Patient num : 286912 and 414850

We pay the amount you people are treating us like we are beggers...
Shame on your management too bad

Dear sir,

Dr A Marthanda Pillai, the chairman of Ananthapuri hospital Trivandrum in India, has won the Padma Shri award this year. Why did government of Kerala nominate Dr Marthanda Pillai for Padma Shri award in New Delhi? What are the good qualities of Dr Marthanda Pillai? What has he done for the people of India? He owns Ananthapuri Hospital and is cheating people with this hospital.
Did anyone ask him for air conditioned hospital? He built himself this hospital with out any windows.

I underwent a treatment after I came from Australia between June 2010 October 2010. Ananthapuri Hospital is a centralized air conditioned building. However, the air condition was never switched on during the period June 2010 to October 2010. I noticed that they have air handling unit, supply air as well as return air diffuser in the reception, basement and all the area where patients are sitting to meet doctors. I complained many times to the public relation manager and staff who became angry at me.

I also noticed that all the Doctors rooms are fully cool and the air condition always switched on.

There is no ventilation or fresh air in this waiting area because there are no windows. The security guard in the main door of the hospital always closed the door when we get in or out. In front of the reception, relatives of patients are waiting long time. A fan was placed there.
Fan does not give ventilation or fresh air. For ventilation, they should run air conditioner. When I complained to the staff, they told me to give a written complaint to Dr Marthanda pillai.

Ananthapuri Hospital always charge large amount of money from patients example RS 1200, for meeting a Psychiatrist for just 30 minutes. Ananthapuri Hospital should give priority for patients and not to doctors. Patients are paying that’s why they running business otherwise they will shut the business.

Everyone celebrate when they get award but Marthanda Pillai did not celebrate. He did not even say word of thanks for this award. I believe he got the award through back door.

Ananthapuri Hospital should respect NRIs. Non Resident Indians’ contribution is high in the Indian economy. Some of our people left India, which is why unemployment rate came down in India and we went abroad not only to make money, but also to help others.

Whoever plans on going to Ananthapuri hospital be vary careful. They cheated me and took my money. I paid total RS 20000 to 25000.

Neeraj Bharadj is a 23 year old an Indian student who was attacked in Batman park near, Rebecca walk in Melbourne. The Age News Paper stated that he was attacked near the aquarium. Actually, he was attacked in Batman Park on April 5, 2010. The attack happened early morning. I have known Neeraj since March 2010. I met him at Batman Park when I was staying there for a couple of week because I did not have accommodation, and I was waiting...

Dear Friends,
I am an NRI, I was in Australia from 2006 to 2010. This year I underwent a treatment at Ananthapuri Hospital in Trivandrum, India. I was there for four to five months receiving treatment from Dr. S. Jayaram. When I was in Australia, I had several issues with immigration department and I witnessed some racial attacks against Indians. During the counseling, Dr. S. Jayaram asked me several questions regarding what had happened in Australia. I am honestly saying, all such questions were unnecessary, this was not a part of the treatment but he wanted to know everything and he recorded my conversation. I did not tell him anything special that happened in Australia. Dr. S. Jayaram had different objective and I do not know who he works for whether Ananthapuri Hospital or Australian Spy. During the counseling he asked me about my past history since my birth and he wrote in a book. When I was sleeping after relaxation therapy he searched my hand book and cell phone, in the book I had written my net banking log on and email details. At the end of the day, I came back to his room to ask a question. At the time I heard his conversation to his assistant, an ayurvada doctor, and he was using obscene language against my parents and me. I believe his plan was to record my important conversation then give to Australian CIDs. Dr S Jayaram thinks I live abroad so I do not file a case in court. Ananthapuri hospital should respect NRIs. Non Resident Indians’ contribution is high in the Indian economy. Some of our people left India, which is why unemployment rate came down in India and we went abroad not to make money only, but to help others too.

Dear Friends,
Trivandrum is a my hometown and I am an NRI, living abroad. This year I underwent a treatment at Ananthapuri Hospital in Trivandrum, India. I was there for four months receiving treatment from Dr. S. Jayaram. When I was abroad, I had several issues with immigration department in that country. During the counseling, Dr. S. Jayaram asked me several questions regarding what had happened abroad. I am honestly saying, all such questions were unnecessary, this was not a part of the treatment but he wanted to know everything and he recorded my conversation. I did not tell him anything special that happened in that country. Dr. S. Jayaram had different objective and I do not know who he works for whether Ananthapuri Hospital or someone else. He probably was angry at me because I did not tell him anything special and I complained about the air condition . During the counseling he injected me several times without my awareness but end of the treatment he did not tell me what kind of medicine he had injected me with. What are the follow ups? Now I am fearing I may get any side effect or any disability. This all true and honest. If anyone has doubt, ask an Ayurveda doctor who worked with and assisted Dr. S. Jayaram in Ananthapuri Hospital. Patients whoever is planning to go to Ananthapuri Hospital be very careful, they cheated me after taking my money. I paid total RS 20000 to 25000.

Trivandrum is a my hometown and I am an NRI, living abroad for many years. This year I underwent a treatment at Ananthapuri hospital in Trivandrum, India. I was there for four months receiving treatment from Dr.S.Jayaram. During the time, I noticed several bad behavior from Dr.S.Jayaram. Ananthapuri hospital is a centralized air conditioned building and Dr.S. Jayaram's office is in basement. However, the air condition was never switched on during the period June 2010 to September 2010. I noticed that they have air handling unit, supply air as well as return air diffuser in the basement. I complained many times to the public relation manager, staff, and Dr.S.Jayaram who became angry at me.

When I was in abroad, I had several issuse with immigration department in that country. During the counseling with Dr. S Jayaram asked me several questions regarding what had happened abroad. I am honestly saying, all such questions were unnecessary and he recorded my conversation. I believe he may have sold my information to the immigration department.

I met patients who came to see Dr. S Jayaram. We were all charged 1200 RS for psychological support 600 RS, relaxational therapy 500 RS and 100 RS to take file. The actual counselling session only lasted 15 to 20 minutes but the waiting period was 6 to 7 hours. During this period they never switched on air conditioning. In front of his office there were two rooms where they steam hospital equipments with more than 100 degrees centigrade. The hot air traveled to the waiting area where we were sitting for up to 7 hours. There was no fresh air or any type of ventilation. After I notified the manager, a fan was placed in the waiting area.

Dr S.Jayaram is not a Psychologist but he charged up to 600 RS for psychological support. There are several good Psychologists in Trivandrum, such as Justin , who is a kind hearted man. He is consulting patients in his home . The patients pay him 100 to 200 RS only but he is really happy with this money.

I met and spoke with patients in Dr. S Jayaram's office who were very poor and got mental illness because of their financial problems. But Dr S. Jayaram charged large amounts of money from them. For example, 1200 RS for 15 to 20 minutes for a single time every week. He said he would inject patients without their awareness. I noticed he would inject once a month only but he charged every week same amount of money.

Dr. S. Jayaram is a member of the India Medical Association, Chathannur President (Kollam), and a member of Indian Psychiatric Society-South Zone. I strongly believe Dr. S. Jayaram did MBBS and DPM only to make money and not to serve others. MBBS and DPM comes as God's own gift.
