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 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.

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.
