Patient satisfaction is widely recognized as an important indicator of healthcare service quality and organizational performance. The present study examines patients’ satisfaction towards services offered by selected private hospitals in Erode District, Tamil Nadu. The study aims to assess patients’ perceptions of healthcare service quality and identify the factors influencing overall patient satisfaction. A descriptive cross-sectional research design was adopted for the study. Primary data were collected from 325 patients receiving healthcare services in selected private hospitals using a structured questionnaire. The study examined six dimensions of healthcare service quality, namely hospital infrastructure, medical service quality, nursing service quality, administrative efficiency, communication effectiveness, and staff responsiveness. Data were analyzed using percentage analysis, mean score analysis, Chi-square test, and multiple regression analysis. The findings reveal that patients generally reported favorable perceptions of healthcare services. Medical service quality recorded the highest mean score, followed by nursing service quality and staff responsiveness. The results of the Chi-square analysis indicate that age and educational qualification are significantlyassociatedwith patient satisfaction, whereas gender and occupation do not exhibit significant relationships. Multiple regression analysis demonstrates that all six service quality dimensions significantly influence patient satisfaction, with medical service quality emerging as the strongest predictor, followed by nursing service quality and staff responsiveness. The study concludes that patient satisfaction is shaped by a combination of clinical, interpersonal, administrative, and infrastructural factors. The findings emphasize the importance of patient-centered healthcare practices, effective communication, responsive service delivery, and continuous quality improvement initiatives. The study provides useful insights for hospital administrators and healthcare professionals seeking to enhance service quality and improve patient experiences in private healthcare institutions
