Dr. R. Rajesh Kumar is a highly specialised Pediatric Cardiologist at Dr. Mehta’s Hospitals, Chennai, holding FNB (Paediatric Cardiology), the Fellowship of the National Board in Paediatric Cardiology, along with a distinctive Fellowship in Cardiac MRI. This combination of advanced cardiology training and cardiac imaging expertise makes him one of Chennai’s uniquely qualified specialists in the diagnosis and management of heart conditions in children.
His Fellowship in Cardiac MRI is particularly noteworthy. Cardiac MRI (CMR) is an advanced, non-invasive imaging technique that provides unparalleled detail of heart structure, function, and tissue characteristics, and is increasingly indispensable in the evaluation of complex congenital heart disease, cardiomyopathy, and myocarditis in children. Very few paediatric cardiologists in India hold a dedicated fellowship in this subspecialty imaging modality, making Dr. Rajesh Kumar a rare resource for families whose children require the most precise cardiac evaluation available.
For families in Chennai and across South India seeking expert paediatric cardiology consultation, whether for a newborn with a suspected heart defect, a child with heart failure, or a teenager with valvular disease, Dr. R. Rajesh Kumar at Dr. Mehta’s Hospitals offers internationally informed, imaging-enriched cardiac care of the highest standard. Consultations are available by prior appointment.

A Heartfelt Thank You to the NICU Team at Dr. Mehta's Hospital, Chetpet There are moments in life when words feel too small for the gratitude you carry — this is one of those moments for our family. Our premature twin boys were held in the loving care of the NICU team. Ours was a journey that carried both joy and heartbreak — one of our precious sons became our angel along the way, and he remains forever in our hearts. Through it all, Dr. Arun Krishnan and the duty doctors — Dr. Sumanth, Dr. Parthiban, Dr. Avishek, Dr. Vijay, Dr. Aarthi, and Dr. Punitha — surrounded our boys with such tenderness, skill, and honesty. Our heartfelt thanks also to the staff nurses who cared for them like their own — Juliana, Beena Saji, Chithra, Shanmuga, Riya, Preethi, Roshini, Anju, Hemavathi, Sowbakiya, Soundarya, Agasri, Priyanka, Yogalakshmi, Deepika, and Lissa — and to the many other hands and hearts whose names we may not have caught, but whose faces and kindness we will never forget. It is because of their unwavering care that we brought our son home, safe and thriving. We are deeply, forever grateful to this team. Thank you for giving our son his first, hardest-won victory — and for giving us back our peace.Posted on Google Saravanan VidhyaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
