I visited Dr. Venkatachalam in 2010 and he did a right knee replacement for me. He did an amazing job for me. it allowed me to have a new lease on life. I was able to go back to work and once again do activities like skiing, biking and even some soccer. I am so grateful to this wonderful doctor and kind man.

I was in Chennai to attend a function of one of my relatives where I heard about this Doc's method of treating patients with advanced arthritis,I immediately called for an appointment and got it . On seeing my x-rays he suggested a treatment called PRP injections and explained the whole procedure to me.I was trilled because I never felt it could get cured with anything other than a knee replacement surgery which is very painful and requires you to be hospitalised atleast for a week and after discharge also constant pain and 6 weeks of physiotherapy . Having full faith in my Dr. I came to Chennai and got my treatment done for both my knees. I was discharged the same day with no medication , no stitches only crepe bandages on both my knees which Dr.said I could remove on my own after 2 days only restriction was to avoid climbing stairs. Today I am quite confident of traveling to Mumbai and hope to be fit and fine in the following days and tell my friends and relatives of my treatment and encourage them to undergo this instead of the laborious replacement. Thanks a lot Doctor .
