My mother aged 70, had undergone total knee replacement surgery on march 17 2017 for her right leg and the left leg on march 20 2017 . She is very much statisfied with the surgery . She is able to walk independently without any pain. She realised the difference of her condition before and after operation The difference is in the positive side. This is because of Dr A K Venkatachalam and his treatment. He is very professional. He was patient, sensitive and accessible .He always answered my doubts.

I came from Bangladesh along with my father to consult about his knee injury. I myself also had come to do a follow-up checkup on my recent pancreatitis attack. Doctor was more than happy to recommend me a good gastroenterologist and he later on also consulted with me about my CT Scan tests and reports and also gave me instructions on how to maintain a good food habit. He has really good knowledge in all medical fields and I would highly recommend him for that. Thank you doctor.
