What our patient’s say

Patient’s review from Google

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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 .

  • Recently I was severely impacted due to covid 19 and required urgent hospitalisation for treatment. Doctor AKV helped me in getting admission in a good hospital and followed up my recovery on a daily basis. Thanks to his kind and timely help I am now fully recovered.
