What patients say
889 on GoogleIf you are a CGHS retired person, please avoid visiting PIMS hospital. The process here is one of the worst I have ever experienced. First, we have to report to the CGHS counter for registration, then meet the doctor. The doctor gives tests for almost every type of treatment but then says “come back after two days”. When we return, instead of continuing smoothly, they again ask us to go back to the doctor and update the system for the current date. After that, we are forced to restart the registration process all over again. This is nothing but a frustrating cycle of running here and there, wasting time and energy, especially for senior citizens. ⚠️ Don’t visit PIMS hospital if you are under CGHS scheme. The process is extremely poorly managed and very inconvenient...
Very poor patient handling at Pondicherry Institute of Medical Sciences. A pregnant patient came with fever, but senior doctors were harsh and impatient. Previous scan and ECHO reports from another hospital were not considered, and we were asked to repeat all tests. Due to this lack of care and empathy, we voluntarily discharging my wife and sought treatment elsewhere. This was a deeply disappointing experience, and I sincerely hope the management takes this feedback seriously and works towards improving patient care and professional conduct.
