My elderly mother was treated at CMC Vellore with a kindness and dignity I have not seen elsewhere. The doctors spent real time with us, the nursing was gentle, and the bill was a fraction of what private chains quoted. This place is a national treasure.
Compassionate staff, exceptional value
CMC Vellore lives up to its reputation. The teaching-hospital setup means you sometimes see junior doctors first, but the senior review is rigorous and the treatment was excellent value. Bring patience for the waiting and you'll be well cared for.
Rigorous, well-supervised treatment
Multiple consultations before seniors
The care at CMC Vellore is renowned but actually securing an appointment through their online system was a real ordeal. Slots vanished instantly and the portal kept timing out, so we ended up queuing physically anyway. The booking experience badly needs an upgrade.
Unreliable online appointment booking
We had been to several places before CMC Vellore finally pinned down my wife's condition correctly. The investigations were systematic and the consultant explained everything in plain language. Accommodation in town gets booked out fast, so plan ahead.
Accurate, systematic diagnosis
Hard to find nearby lodging
Travelled a long way to CMC Vellore and it was worth it. The doctors are thorough, never push unnecessary tests, and the charges are remarkably fair for the quality. The only hard part is the sheer volume of patients meaning early starts and long queues.
Honest, affordable, high-quality care
Heavy crowds and long queues
