At the outset, we are indeed satisified with the treatment provided to my father.
To say about our experience and his treatment, my father had a diabetic wound on his left ankle. We went to many hospitals and one of our relatives had recommended this doctor. We went to him and on the first day itself, he initiated the treatment by directly opening and cleaning the wound, without prolonging it for any reason even for procedural or medical testing or reporting.
We consider that was the first impression created on him. Beacuse, according to us, that was the great relief given by him, since my father had been suffered with huge pain with that wound. Secondly, we really admired him for his undisguised service. Each time, he himself only clean the wound and do the dressing to my father. He used to touch my father's foot and clean the wound without any nauseate feel. He mostly didn't take assistance from the nurses for cleaning the wounds. I think that clearly demonstrates his dedicated service and patience towards his patients.
Generally, there is a panic among the people on diabetic foot issue. Even I have heard from my relatives and friends that they were also struggled with this issue and they had been advised to remove their respective parts of the leg. However, I have observed that he is taking every foot issue as a challenging one and healing the same completely without any amputation. It is pertinent to mention that he is healing the foot wounds within the stipulated time with the right medicines. Hence, I strongly recommend him for any stage of diabetic foot issue.
To sum up in a line, he has magic in his hands.

I had an ingrown toe nail issue that bothered me for a long time. Dr Prem Kumar helped me find a permanent solution to the problem. I would recommend him and his clinic for anyone seeking a podiatrist (foot specialist) in the city.
Dr Prem is friendly and patient and you can trust his credentials. He is an experienced doctor and he answered all my questions and doubts patiently and reassured me during my treatment. His staff in his clinic are all friendly and professional. I would definitely recommend his clinic.

I visited Dr Prem for my father's complication in his left foot. He was suffering since almost 7 months, had visited lot of doctors in India. Finally, we got to know about Dr Prem. He diagnosed his leg and cleared off all doubts regarding his disease.
My father was diagnosed with Charcot's Foot problem, a very rare diabetic foot condition.
Where in, some doctors had already suggested for amputation, Dr Prem clearly overruled the need for it. He simply suggested him to rest as much as possible and to only walk with the help of ITB Crow walker.
Apart from just visiting him, I would like to mention how the doctor is always available to help via call and whatsapp. I belong from kolkata and initially was in second thoughts about travelling to Chennai with my father since he was advised not to walk at all as it could be dangerous. So I was talking to the doctor on call. I had never visited him before, still he was ready to go through my father's reports in detail and advise him even on call and whatsapp. He was available even late at night when needed!
Later I even visited him in Chennai and was so satisfied with the kind of response. He is not one of those doctors who see their patients for the sake of their profession, he treats them with the sole aim of making them healthy with whole hearted compassion. He is unlike other doctors who are just professional.
Even though there is no permanent cure for my father's disease, he is feeling much better and taking precautions as suggested by Dr Prem. I can't thank him enough in words!
I totally recommend Dr Prem for any issue related to diabetic foot problem.

I happened to look at an article in Google after an in-depth, last attempt search.
Had previously 2 failed surgeries at 2 different hospitals to arrest an ingrown toenail on the right.
And doctors at other hospitals promised that it will not grow back, but it did, painfully. (Saraswathi Hospital, Madipakkam and Prasanth Hospital, Velachery).
Those doctors there don't know how to apply a local anaesthetic effectively, procedures were so painful and I had to be held.
Coming to Dr.Prem, nice, calm, easy going and polite. Local anaesthetic applied was very effective, I felt no pain. Wish I had approached him earlier.
Thank you Sir.

Met Dr. Prem for an infection on my foot.
I had tremendous pain while walking on bare foot almost for 2 to 3 months. I thought it was FOOT CORN and took medications accordingly for 2 months - No improvement.
Finally, met Dr. Prem, during the first visit itself it was clarified that this is not foot corn. It is VIRAL WART.
Doctor removed that infected location precisely.
To the surprise, my entire pain has gone just in single visit. Now it's all clear and good.
Thanks and Kudos to Doc...!!!

Really I want to thank him from the bottom of my heart because for last 3 to 4 years we are unable to find the correct treatment and solutions for my mother's foot callus. We almost met top hospitals like CMC, MMM etc... But no use only we spended money.
Dr.Premkumar clearly explained the symptoms and solution, without any manipulation. And the way he treated my mother is awesome.
After treatment he shared some contacts and videos for further treatments.
TODAY SPENDING MONEY IS NOT A MATTER BUT FINDING CORRECT DR FOR CORRECT TREATMENT REALLY RARE TO FIND.
Thanks Lord for meeting wonderful person DR.Premkumar.

The doctor was polite, explained the big toe nail problem in details, what options are available to get it treated. Answered all queries very well with utmost patience. The small surgery was done nicely. Post surgery the Dr Kumar is in regular contact with respect to the improvement/ healing procedure via telecommunication/ WhatsApp. I have been sending regular pictures of my toe nail after dressing it as per instructions.
I would definitely be recommending Dr Kumar to others with similar problems.

My father had a diabetic ulcer in right great toe with osteomyelitis for which he was suggested amputation by many hospitals. I contacted Dr.premkumar and shown all the reports . He said that it can be cured without amputating the toe . And this has happened . He saved my father’s toe for which we r so grateful to him.
In this modern era so many are affected by diabetic ulcers and for which they are undergoing removal of the toe or even leg. But he is one who could save them with his **** treatment protocol .
Thank u doctor !! I wish u all success !

Indeed, the most treasured of the Doctors I have been privileged to meet Dr. Prem. I visited Doctor for my brothers wound in his Foot, he treated us as we were family member during all my meetings with him, treatment given to him was excellent. The way would was treated shows the fast healing and his foot is clear in few weeks which is remarkable. The most wonderful part, I see Doctors social activities in giving free treatment for the Poor people which is really appreciable were we can’t see this in others. Dr. Prem is fantastic. I recommend him highly.
