My wife (72 y) has knee osteoarthritis, mainly in left knee and less in right knee; she has suffered bouts of left knee locking for about 2 years, but she has no pain (luckily). In light of my wife not having pain or other issues, we did not want to go for TKR-type major surgical intervention. Recently we heard about Dr AKV in Chennai and his expertise in PRS-based treatment of knee arthritis. Dr AKV examined my wife and offered biological - (stem) cell - therapy option and explained the details and basis of PRS procedure. As both my wife and I have been scientists, we could understand well and it appealed to us as a simpler, worthwhile treatment option. She underwent the procedure at the end of July (about half a day at CMMH, Mylapore) and after 3 days, we flew back to our Mysore home. She is about to complete the 6-week duration of doctor-suggested restrictions to allow for internal healing. She has not had any problems or discomfort during this period and is ready to get back to her normal routines. Dr AKV is very friendly, gives adequate time to respond to patient's queries and concerns. Overall, it has been a very reassuring process and we are hopeful of good outcome of this treatment. N.

I know Dr. A. K Venkatachalam for over two decades now and can vouch for his accurate diagnosis, effective treatment coupled with the expertise of latest technology. He is a well-equipped expert who is thoroughly updated about all the developments in the medical field. This upright doctor takes personal care of his patients and is absolutely honest with his words of right advice and proper guidance. Would highly recommend him for any kind of orthopaedic issue from minor to major. I wish him all success, good health, happiness and a long life to continue with his endeavours and valuable services rendered to mankind.

I met the doctor for my relative's knee problem. The doctor advised a cellular therapy as she is young, to relieve pain. I am very happy with the suggestion.

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.
