Artemis hospital cares more for its money than it cares for you

I always had the idea that Artemis is a little more professionally run than some of the other healthcare facilities in Gurgaon. I have even written some good things about it in the past. The past week has however taught me that such is not the case. At the bottom of it all, they are just trying to make a sale and will do anything to get a customer, even though it may not be in the best interest of a customer.

Two incidents happened which has almost ensured that I am never going back to Artemis.

Ultrasound in Gurgaon

Till a few years ago, there were not too many options in Gurgaon when one needed to get an Ultrasound done. Today, that has changed; in fact there are too many options available now. So, here’s a quick guide to some of the ultrasound centers that we (me and my wife) have visited personally, and our impression of it.

My experience with Max Hospital Gurgaon

I recently had to get my wife admitted to the Max Hospital in Gurgaon. Below is a review based on my experience of this facility. Overall, I am satisfied with the services, but there can be improvements. First a little bit about the facility itself. Max is a relatively large hospital with a large number of specialities and services. They have over 100 beds, 2 Operation Theatres and a 12 bed ICU (information courtesy Max Website); they also have a Emergency Response team.

By the looks of it, the hospital seems very modern and professionally managed. The staff at all desks are friendly and eager to help. It contains a 24 hour cafeteria and a 24 hour pharmacy (two things that I believe are a must for any decent hospital). It is located near Park Plaza hotel in Sushant Lok 1. Now I will talk about our experience.

Healthcare in Gurgaon – Artemis

The sad fact of life is that like it or not, you will have to visit a doctor some day. And usually, its for reasons that you would rather avoid. So, if you are living in Gurgaon, then what are your options? Of course, it also depends on how much you can afford to spend on healthcare. In this post, I will describe my experiences with one of the Healthcare services in Gurgaon.
