My mother went to complete knee replacement for both legs. I can’t believe how well my mother feels now. Dr AK Venkatachalam is most treasured of the Doctors I have been privileged to meet. My mother doing very well now, she alone doing all activities.

I am from Kolkata, aged 62 yrs. For the last few years, I have frequent swelling and pain in both the knee and had a few dextrose prolotherapy in Kolkata. The relief was short lived. My latest X Ray report showed advanced Osteoarthritis (Grade 3). I came to know about Dr. A. K. Venkatachalam and had a couple of telephonic consultation from Kolkata. I came over to Chennai and had a detailed discussion with Dr. Venkatachalam. He listened carefully and was kind enough to spare his valuable time explaining the procedures to be undertaken and its long term benefits. About 5 days back Dr. Venkatachalam did a combination of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) and Stromal Vascular Fraction (SVF) on both knee. Within 24 hours I was able to walk freely and gradually getting better every day. Dr. Venkatachalam is very friendly and his way of explanation encourages the patient very much. Indeed an excellent Doctor and I extend my sincere gratitude to him.
