Getting to Billroth Hospitals from Shenoy Nagar
You have the shortest journey of any patient Dr. Kumar sees. Billroth Hospitals sits on Gajapathy Street, inside Shenoy Nagar, so there is no cross-city travel involved at all.
Shenoy Nagar metro station on the Green Line is the closest station to the hospital, which makes this the easiest address in North Chennai to reach on the day of surgery. For an early morning admission, that matters more than most people expect, because it removes traffic from the equation entirely.
If someone is bringing you in after a procedure, Gajapathy Street is reachable from Nelson Manickam Road and from the Anna Nagar side without going through the heavier Poonamallee High Road traffic.
