What our patient’s say

Patient’s review from Google

  • I was suffering from left knee pain for more than 7 years. I came to know about the Gender Specific High Flexion Total Knee Replacement done by Dr. A.K.venkatachalam in Chennai Meenakshi Multispeciality Hospital at Myapore. The surgery was done successfully by the doctor in the last week. I was able to walk and climb up the staircase also without support on the third day itself. Doctor's personal attention towards the patient till discharge is highly appreciable, hospital staff as well. Doctor arranged for post surgery care like Physiotherapy etc., I once again thank the doctor whole-heartedly.

  • I had a sports injury while playing badminton where the ACL on my left knee had been completely torn. My right knee also had a lot of pain after some time. I was having pain in both the left and right knee. I researched quite a bit and found out that stem cell treatment would help. In US this treatment is picking up, but is quite expensive. I've found out that in India, Dr. Venkatachalam was performing the stem cell treatments. 1) I contacted Dr. Venkatachalam over the email and we scheduled a date for the treatment 1 month in advance. This process was a breeze. 2) Once I met the doctor, he instructed me to get a new X-Ray and 3T MRI and as expected, the doctor found the fully torn ACL on the left knee with cartilage damage and right knee with cartilage damage and some miniscus tear. 3) The doctor recommended that for ACL tear, a key hole arthroscopic knee surgery is needed and a stem cell treatment for both left and right knee. We both agreed on first getting stem cell treatment on both left and right knee to get the pain out and then have a follow-on surgery to treat the ACL tear. 4) The stemcell treatment was scheduled during the same week. The stemcells used were adipose (fat) stemcells. The whole treatment took around 45mins - 1 hour with 30 - 45 mins prep time. A Platelet Rich Stroma was created using Stromal Vascular Fraction (SVF). SVF is a combination of adipose (fat based) stemcells and the Platelet Rich Plasma obtained from the blood. 5) I returned back to the US in a weeks time. My recovery time took around 6 weeks. During this time, I followed the physiotherapy exercises recommended by the doctor. Results: Its been around 6 months since I had my treatment. Now I'm pain-free in both of my left and right knees. One key part of this is that the physiotherapy exercises are a must to get the most out of the stemcell treatment. Recommendation: I highly recommend Dr. A.K. Venkatachalam for any joint related issues. He is very professional and does follow up on my condition. He took his time to explain to me in detail all the problems of my knee. The doctor is very honest. The price is affordable considering that I got the Stromal Vascular Fraction (SVF) stemcell treatment that is the latest and greatest in the world today. I would definitely follow up with the doctor for my future ACL reconstruction surgery.

  • Dr. A. K. Venkatachalam did Stem cell therapy and PRP for my mother, Kalpana Chowdhury, right and left both knee.. After that she got much relief from the pain. The best part about him is he listenes his patient very carefully and explains everything from what actually happens to how it could be recovered. So, I strongly recommend him and wants to thank him for his valuable advice.

  • I took my son to Dr. Venkatachalam in July as a follow up appointment for his wrist fracture (we were traveling and could not keep the appointment with his original physician). Doctor was patient, treated him promptly and provided clear information about his condition. Thank you Doctor.

  • My wife Jostna Ayub, the Co-Founder of a Christian mission in Bangladesh has been suffering from severe Knee pain for months. Doctors in Bangladesh have concluded that there is no treatment for such pain. I was in great frustration to see her pain and groaning. I have visited the website of Dr. Venkatachalam, the Knee Surgeon in Chennai and made appointment through e-mail. My wife had to use wheel chair during the travel. After the operation and stem cell treatment, she has come back fully cured. More than two months have passed already, but my friends are now amazed to see her walking fast and moving but without any pain. We are so thankful to Dr. Venkat not only for his treatment and care but for his heart to cooperate us in all areas. Thank you, Dr. Venkat. I have shared about you to my UK friends and with many in Bangladesh.
