I'm 72 year male I had some urinary problems and a friend of my son recommended Dr. Shannugasundaram.
My first appointment was so smooth though I was little tensed. The doctor was friendly asked me me questions to know my condition and tested me and recommended scan and blood test.
After the scan and blood test the doctor very systematically explained my condition and recommended medication.
I have the white coat fobia. But to my surprise in the second and third visit with Dr. Shanmugasundaram I was comfortable and this I can vouche is due to his friendly approach to the patients.
The staff at the reception was also friendly.
I wish him all the best and God's richest blessings to serve many with long life.

Visited For Kidney Stone Treatment
Happy with:Â Doctor friendlinessTreatment satisfactionExplanation of the health issue
I know Dr. Shanmugasundaram for more than 10 years now. He has treated two of us in our family. One was a very complicated case involving bladder removal (mother-in-law) and for me it was kidney stone removal by PCNL (21 mm stone in right kidney). He is highly professional and at the same time very patient friendly. He explains the condition of the problem to the patient and to patient’s family with all details giving them confidence. He is approachable any time and I get a prompt reply either by return call or message whenever I send him a message or try to call him. Very hardworking person. I have great respect for him and recommend him very highly.
Visited For Urethroplasty
Happy with:Â Doctor friendlinessExplanation of the health issueTreatment satisfactionValue for money
I visited the doctor in July 2020 for Urethroplasty. The surgery was done in Aug 2020. The doctor is very humble, listens carefully and passionate about his profession. He explained all the procedures and treatment regime in simple language. Despite the huge risks of Covid-19, the entire surgery & subsequent treatment was the best. Another great thing is that the doctor is readily available on mobile to answer any query/doubts. May his tribe increase. May God bless him more.
THANKS A LOT DOCTOR.
