SriJothi Cancer Care
Oncologist near T Nagar
T Nagar, Chennai's busiest shopping district, is right next to Kodambakkam, so our clinic offers a calm, convenient healthcare option away from the crowds.
Cancer Care for T Nagar Residents
T Nagar shop owners and staff can rarely step away during trading hours, which is how a worrying symptom gets put off for months. SriJothi Cancer Care is across Kodambakkam High Road, away from the market crowds, and a booked time means no waiting in a queue while the shop is unattended.
Cancer care is far more than the treatment itself. There is the worrying symptom that needs checking, the biopsy report that needs explaining, the choice between treatment options, the side effects to manage between hospital visits, and years of follow-up once treatment ends. Most of those steps are best handled by a specialist close to home.
SriJothi Cancer Care is the cancer practice of radiation oncologist Dr. S. Usha (Dr. Usha Sukumaran), MBBS, DMRT, at Srinivasa Health Clinic in Kodambakkam. She sees patients for screening, second opinions, radiotherapy and chemotherapy planning, supportive and palliative care, and follow-up, and is a visiting consultant at several leading Chennai hospitals, where treatment that needs hospital facilities is given.
Understanding Patients from T Nagar
T Nagar is Chennai's busiest retail district, and the congestion is itself a health factor for the people who work there — long hours on their feet, heavy traffic pollution, and very little scope to leave during trading hours. Patients from T Nagar often tell us the main reason they came to Kodambakkam is that getting seen locally means fighting the Ranganathan Street crowds.
