Paul's Hospital - Centre of Excellence for Endoscopy / Laparoscopy and Infertility centre - Hospital in Ernakulam - Ernakulam, India

We are from Pondicherry, We came to Paul's Hospital at Ernakulam, Kochi for the Surgery to cure Endometriosis. During the entire process all the staff and doctor taken care us well. In a very short duration for evaluation, our surgery is done. I thank from my heart to the entire team for doing such a great work. I thank Dr. Paul's sir, Dr. George Paul's and his team. Thank you all.

I am very happy and glad to see people's reviews about getting a diagnosis and better treatment from here. But I had a different experience here. I am writing this only because the doctors and management should know the importance and danger of a wrong diagnosis and ignorance to a patient. I went there with expectations to get a diagnosis for my problems with pain bleeding menstruation and overall deterioration of health at age of 26. But even after telling all my severity of symptoms and all the tests and scanning I was told nothing is wrong and doctor simply ignored my symptoms like I had made it up. After a month only I went to an endometriosis specialist it was found that I had a big endometriosis nodule in my rectal area which was causing all these and had excision surgery which again was delayed due to covid in between and surgery ended up in some complications and sepsis and I had to have a colostomy then a reversal. 3 surgeries in a year. That too 2 in a week. I hope if I was listened by any of doctors about my symptoms I would never have been ended up here. But thank god atleast then I got the diagnosis. This is a request than a review to please listen to the patients eventhough the tests didn't clarify anything at fist time,may be then do another test and another test again and again until it's found out. Or just tell them it's not possible to find out sorry than there is nothing wrong and asking to go home. If I didn't say this here someone else will go through same again.We believe you doctors and trust you with our life and people are coming there expecting a relief. I hope you will understand. This is not the case of only this hospital most of the hospitals in Kerala I went were too ignorant in case of endometriosis. This should change. Its a life threatening disease in a way and I am the living example of it who overcomed this time. Thank you.

Me and my wife are both doctors working in UAE for last 30 years. My wife had a bleeding issue for which at least 3 well known gynaecologists in UAE and Kochi advised removal of uterus. Dr Paul diagnosed the problem correctly and treated her without hysterectomy but a simple hysteroscopy surgery and charged nominally.She has been so well since the surgery and we are so so happy with the excellent treatment recieved. Without a doubt this is the best Ob gynae center in kerala I know of and they are very capable of giving excellent pre and post op care. I read a review below which is talking about an incident which according to the first sentence talks about an incident few years ago(quote from review). Why such a lengthy very negative review this week after all these years, rubbishing the place and recommending other hospitals around us is beyond me!. I would highly recommend this place based on genuine personal experience. .

We faced too many questions on why we decided to have the procedure done in kochi when there's best of services available in mumbai. One of the best decisions.... would highly recommend Paul's hospital for a thousand reasons. Dr. Paul has been too good in first putting me at ease. He was the first reason for me to say a yes to surgery with conviction, something I had been delaying for more than 10 yrs. His team of doctors- Dr Anusha, Dr swati were so reassuring round the clock. Nurses and service staff- always with a smile Ambience and cleanliness- 15/10. Never felt the suffocating feeling of being in a hospital Can go on and on... Thank you Dr Paul and the team. God bless you all abundantly.

Very good experience. I was recommended to Dr. Paul to remove endometriotic cyst. Honestly, I was quite anxious because it's the second time (reoccurence) going under the process for this and it was bit complicated. However, the doctors eased my worries and addressed all my concerns patiently. I met the entire team on the first day and had a pre-surgery counseling with Dr. Anusha. They were pretty thorough and Dr. Paul's smile and assurance was everything I didn't know I would need. I was bit nervous thinking about anaesthesia but once again the doctor engaged me in a conversation and all I remember is laughing with them and nurses at the ward before waking up after the completion of the procedure. The staff were amazing. I was in good hands. They were kind, accomodating and even took care of my mom when I was in the ICU overnight for observation. I have to extend my sincere thanks to the ICU nurses, who diligently took care of me entire night. My recovery this time is faster and a lot less complicated. I was discharged the next day and was able to move around unlike the first time. Thanks to Dr. Paul and his team from the bottom of my heart for making this entire process better for me to go through and also for giving me hope and confidence for a better future. Note: Only one bystander is allowed to stay overnight with the patient. Others have to stay outside. For those who travel from long distances, there are several hotels closer to the hospital where you can take a room. I stayed at a hotel for 3 days after the procedure since I came here from another city and didn't want to risk traveling immediately. CJ Grande Business Hotel is next compound and they're very accomodating for patients coming here.

I can confidently attest Paul's Hospital in Ernakulam as the Gold Standard for Speciality hospitals anywhere in the world.. We have been consulting with them for nearly 15 years. The trust they instill amongst their patients is unparalleled. Dr. Paul is a highly acclaimed professional with matching humility and compassion. His team of doctors, nurses and supporting staff are thorough professionals, highly efficient and extremely compassionate. The hospital is well located with excellent boarding and parking facilities. The treatment charges are very reasonable and transparent, clinical equipment 'state of the art', the staff highly motivated and well caring, and the entire hospital is very clean, modern, spacious and well designed for patient comfort. The consultation is thorough and comforting, and we felt being dealt by an extremely safe pair of hands during my spouse's surgery. We are very grateful to Dr. Paul and his excellent team and wish this world class hospital all the very best. We would highly recommend Paul's Hospital to any gynaecology patients, both domestically and internationally. Thank you very much once again!

My mother needed a hysterectomy a few years ago, went to Paul's Hospital. The consultation & surgery went ok. But post-operative care which is a most important point was so unbearably, unbelievably bad. They did not advise her against nor prevent her from using the rest rooms during recovery. They tried to discharge her on a Friday, just two days after the surgery. Reason: just because they wanted to save on staff costs over the weekend, they said no one is available at the clinic over the weekend to provide care. This would never have happened in a large hospital. She caught a bacterial infection: Salmonella. The infection did not heal even a week after discharge. My father had to bring her back twice because her fever was not subsiding, infection was not under control. We saw Dr. Paul personally about her but they all just had silly excuses to offer. About 10 days after surgery with significant bleeding, she had to be rushed to Emergency at AIMS in the middle of the night. Our family suffered a week of anxiety culminating in two nights of intense anguish & petrifying fear. The nurse from Dr. Paul's called me the next day to enquire how she was doing, I told her the fact - that she was in a secondary condition with an unknown locus of infection & the nurse's only response was just "Ayyo, ayyo". The infection was identified at AIMS, she was admitted for a week, MRI & CT was done, customized treatment provided there, which saved her life. Urologist Dr. Kannan Nair, our family friend at AIMS was a God-send blessing during all this. Dr. Paul charged us Rs. 1 Lakh for the hystrectomy but we suffered a crore's worth post operative complications & pain. Dr. Paul may be a famous specialist on infertility & obstetrics. BUT DO NOT UNDER any circumstances undergo any surgery or procedures at these small boutique clinics where they cannot do proper post-operative care of patients & other ancillary services which is critical & vital. DO NOT undergo hysterectomy or any major surgeries at such places. Their ignorance, lack of ancillary care, cost savings, profit motive, lack of experience, absence of lawsuits will not let them provide proper care. STAY AWAY from these small hospitals when it comes to important surgeries. You need a proper full service hospital, not such small clinics where surgery is a mere add-on. They may be specialists but inexperienced in post-op complications & consequently, immature in bed side care. STAY AWAY FROM them for surgeries if you value your life & peace.

My wife had laparoscopic myomectomy at Dr.Pauls Hospital ,we were soscared for the surgery but Dr.Pauls.and his entire team did an excellant job ,we never felt like it was a Hospital rather it was like our home ,all team members including Dr.Thampi who did the anaesthesia ,the resident doctors and the Nurses who made my wife feel so comfortable ,we would recommend this place for anyone who is looking for laparoscopic surgeries. ,and definitely they are not money oriented,this place is is very underrated.
