1Which oncologists see patients at CION Ameerpet?
Medical oncologists Dr. Naresh Gundu and Dr. N.
Kiranmayee, and surgical oncologist Dr. Sandeep Vajja, see patients at
Ameerpet. They work with the wider CION team, including surgical,
radiation and blood cancer specialists. Call the helpline to check which
doctor is in on the day you want to come.
2Do I need a referral letter to book?
No. You can book directly by calling the
helpline or leaving your number on this page. A letter from the doctor
who found the cancer is useful but not required. What matters far more
is bringing every report, scan and discharge summary you already
have.
3Is chemotherapy given at the Ameerpet centre?
Yes. Chemotherapy is given at CION Ameerpet,
usually as day-care, so most people go home the same day. Your
oncologist plans each cycle, checks your blood counts first, and tells
you in advance if your treatment needs a hospital stay instead.
4Where would surgery or radiotherapy happen?
Not at Ameerpet. Your CION doctors plan the
operation or the radiotherapy, and your care team books it at the centre
that does it. You are told the name and location of that centre, and
given a written estimate, before you agree to anything.
5Can I get a second opinion on a plan from another hospital?
Yes. Bring the plan and every report behind it.
An oncologist will go through it with you and tell you whether they
agree, and if not, why. Many families use this to feel sure before
treatment starts. It does not commit you to treatment at CION.
6Does CION Ameerpet accept health insurance?
CION's team helps with cashless insurance and
gives you a written estimate before you start. Bring your insurance card
and policy details to the first visit. If you are covered by a
government or employer scheme, ask the care team when you call, so they
can check it for you.
7What are the timings, and how do I get there?
The centre is open Monday to Saturday, 9:30 AM to
6:00 PM. It is on Satyam Theatre Road, beside Blue Fox Hotel in
Srinivasa Nagar, about an eight-minute walk from Ameerpet Metro and near
the Ameerpet bus stop. Call ahead so the doctor you need is in.
8Can a family member come without the patient?
Yes, for a first conversation about the reports.
Many families start this way, especially when the patient is unwell or
lives in another district. The oncologist will still need to see the
patient before treatment is planned, but much can be explained to you
first.
