Testimonials

" I was clinically suffering from proximal myopathy for almost a year. The initial diagnoses were vitamin D deficiency and hypothyroid myopathy. I was on levothyroxine and Vitamin D supplements. However, there was no improvement in my condition. I also started developing neck muscle weakness. My subsequent electromyography (EMG) and nerve conduction study (NCS) were inconclusive. My antinuclear antibody (ANA) profile revealed the presence of anticentromere antibody. Dr. Balan evaluated my muscle biopsy evaluated at NextGenPath Diagnostics and confirmed the diagnosis of overlap myositis. My condition has improved with immunosuppressive therapy. "

Dr. Usha MD

The histopathology reports are in detail like never before and the quality of reporting is top notch. All our consultants are happy and Dr. Balan, the Histopathologist who is very meticulous in his work. He communicates to us whenever there is a need and makes sure we are on the same page before reporting. I would like to congratulate the entire team for the very best in all their endeavour! "

" I have been utilizing Dr. Balan's histopathology services for the past one year. His contribution to Nephropathology has strengthened both the adult and pediatric nephrology care in the region. "

Dr. Saravanan Gobinathan, MD Paediatrics, MRCPCH (UK), DM Nephrology

Consultant Paediatrician & Nephrologist
Genesis Royal Infirmary, Coimbatore.

" My first experience with NextGenPath Diagnostics was when a good friend of mine, a nephrologist lauded regarding Dr. Balan's renal biopsy reports. He is the only DM histopathologist (from PGIMER, Chandigarh) in this region. I routinely utilize his pulmonary pathology services. He communicates the preliminary biopsy findings and after a clinico-radiological discussion, proceeds with immunohistochemistry only if indicated. Dr. Balan's approach saves precious time and cost. I would strongly recommend him for lung, pleural and mediastinal biopsies. "

" To tell about Dr. Balan, as a renal pathologist, his work is very good and we rely on his timely reports for our treatment processes. We had essentially saved an allograft kidney based on Dr. Balan’s diagnosis of C4d-negative antibody-mediated rejection and now the patient is doing well and the credit goes to him for the early diagnosis. "

Dr. T. Saravanan MD., DM Nephrology

Chief Nephrologist and Transplant Physician
Abirami Kidney Care, Erode and Karur.

" I endorse that Dr. Balan is an exceptionally skilled and talented histopathologist. All our kidney biopsy specimens are being examined by him at NextGenPath Diagnostics for the past 1 year and we are delighted with the accuracy and promptness of the reports. The doctor signs out the reports even at 1 AM on many occasions. That’s because a report is a patient's life and he does his best in signing out as soon as possible. He also calls, discusses and enquires how the patient is doing. A highly committed professional. When the city pathologists could not solve a patient's skin disease, I sent the skin sample to him and he diagnosed Crytococcocosis and treatment based on that report solved the patient’s problem that lasted more than 3 painful months. God bless your Godly work Dr. Balan. "
