A 35-bed independent hospital · Anna Nagar, Chennai

The hospital your family doctor would pick for their own family.

CTS Speciality Hospital is run by the surgeons who treat you. Dr. Prakash Selvam and Dr. Radhika Venugopal have built an independent multispeciality hospital in Anna Nagar around one idea: the people making decisions about your care should be the people doing the operations.

There are over 30 multispeciality hospitals within ten kilometres of Anna Nagar. Most are corporate chains. We are not.

Dr. Prakash Selvam spent a decade at Soundarapandian Bone & Joint and another stint at Apollo Hospitals before opening a clinic in Mogappair in 2012. The Anna Nagar branch came in 2018. The full multispeciality hospital opened on 23 April 2023. Every step was a choice to stay close to patients - not to scale away from them.

What that looks like in practice: the surgeon who quotes your procedure is the surgeon who performs it. The hepatologist who diagnoses your liver disease is the one who reads your follow-up scans. There is no general manager between you and the doctor making decisions about your treatment.

What we do

Two flagship specialties. Twelve more behind them.

Orthopaedics under Dr. Selvam. Hepatology under Dr. Venugopal. Around those two anchors, a multidisciplinary team covering cardiology, gastroenterology, paediatrics, gynaecology, nephrology, and the surgical disciplines.

The team

Twenty-four consultants. One floor.

When the cardiologist needs to consult the hepatologist about a patient's medication interactions, they walk twenty steps to do it. No emails, no referrals, no waiting room.

★★★★★

On the day of a festival, I had a leg fracture after an accident on my two-wheeler. In spite of the holiday, Dr. Prakash Selvam came in and did the surgery, and helped me with my recovery. Nurses and doctors are very friendly.

My son is a national swimmer. He came here with a major fracture in his hand, and most of the doctors I consulted said surgery is needed. It was only Dr. Prakash who did a beautiful job aligning the bones without a surgery. A person you can really connect with - he thinks from your shoes.

My father underwent hip treatment. After 3 days of surgery he is able to walk. We are happy and satisfied with Dr Selvam's treatment. Hospital maintenance and house keeping are good. Nursing staff and physiotherapist are very kind and friendly.
