This is the single consulting and operating location, serving Korattur and the surrounding areas of Korattur, the Ambattur Industrial Estate side, Padi border and Korattur lake area.
Getting to Billroth Hospitals from Korattur
Korattur railway station is about twelve kilometers from Chennai Central on the suburban network and serves Korattur along with parts of Kolathur and Padi. The station chiefly serves students and workers from the Ambattur Industrial Estate.
From Korattur, the road route to Shenoy Nagar runs through Villivakkam and Konnur High Road toward Kilpauk and Gajapathy Street.
The industrial catchment here is clinically relevant, not just geographic. Sustained heavy lifting raises abdominal pressure repeatedly, and that is one of the factors that pushes a stable hernia toward needing repair sooner.
