Patient’s review from Google

I am P.Parvateesam 83 years old residing at Tirupati (A.P). I was suffering from pain and swelling in right knee. I got to know about Dr AK Venkatachalam through the internet and i consulted him regarding my problem. As per the suggestion of Dr AK Venkatachalam I have undergone PRP treatment at his clinic on 27/09/2021 Now after 15 days i feel better and able to walk in corridors without any support. I feel no pain in my knee now. I sincerely thank Dr. A.K.Venkatchalam.

Dr. Venkatachalam recently performed bilateral knee replacements on me. Before the surgeries, I was in excruciating pain, but am now in NO pain. His care of me while in the hospital was excellent, and his follow up was wonderful following the surgeries. Just 4 months later I am in NO pain, and am able to exercise on a daily basis and walk and climb stairs easily. I would HIGHLY recommend Dr. Venkatachalam to anyone needing new joints. He and his expertise is beyond anything offered elsewhere.

I visited Dr. Venkatachalam in 2010 and he did a right knee replacement for me. He did an amazing job for me. it allowed me to have a new lease on life. I was able to go back to work and once again do activities like skiing, biking and even some soccer. I am so grateful to this wonderful doctor and kind man.
