My MIL was suffering from Osteoarthritis in both legs.Earlier she had undergone many treatments but doesnt work well in her case.
After we decided to go for knee replacement, we consulted many ortho doctors in and around chennai and finally decided to go with AK Venkatachallam sir.
As he is very transparent in explaining procedure and effects before and after the surgery when compared to the other we consulted.she has undergone L-knee replacement on 12-Oct-18 and R-Knee replacement on
16-oct-18 in Chennai Meenakshi multispeciality hospital.Now She is able to walk freely without support and pain.She is recovering good now .
He took good care of her from pre operative to post operative till date. He was reachable to us 24/7 in phones in assisting patient and clearing our doubts.
He himself does all the wound dressing to patient during hospitalisation and consultation.(which we actaully expected from him).Even he arranged good nurses and physiotheraphy after our discharge.
i would recommend him 100% for Knee replacement surgery. He is very much dedicated to his profession and care provided to patients.

Excellent, and most sensible doctor I have come across in recent years - he has a practical approach that takes the pain out of visiting a doctor for consultation, especially when the patient is in pain.
