Dr. Shanmuga Sundaram

Our Mother, Mrs. Gita Verma is 70 years old and she had a problem with spine that worsened due to ageing during the last 1-2 years. We consulted few orthopaedic doctors in Chennai but somehow did not get any clarity & hence the conviction on the best possible treatment. We finally landed at SS Spine & Ortho Clinic of Dr. Shanmuga Sundaram (Dr. SS) with a reference from our family physician - Dr. Srivatsan. We will forever be indebted to him for referring us to Dr. SS. During the very first meeting, we were amazed at his quick grasp & diagnosis. He explained in great detail the problem and suggested all possible remedies with their respective pros & cons. Haven’t seen many Doctors / Surgeons sharing such details and that lack of info eventually leads to ‘Google Search’ by the patient / attendant and there starts more confusion. His simplicity & patience while dealing with a senior citizen who has never been operated upon was very thoughtful & touching. At no point did we ever feel being pushed for any decision nor being rushed to wrap-up the conversation during an appointment, in spite of many patients waiting to meet him. A very common sight & practice in most of the clinics these days. These are very important humane aspects of medical treatment. After the second meeting itself, we as a family decided to go ahead & follow his line of treatment, including the Spine surgery. It has been 3 months since the surgery happened and the patient is recovering very well, exactly as per the Dr. SS projection. She is able to get back to her normal lifestyle & activity within 3 months of Spine surgery. Although every patient reacts & recovers differently post-surgery, we were pleasantly surprised with the detailed milestones Dr. SS had explained for the recovery period and everything went exactly as we were told. A thorough professional, practicing with very high ethical values and transparency, Dr. Shanmuga Sundaram is a ‘complete-surgeon/doctor’ as apart from being highly qualified and experienced, he is also a very good human being with warmth & humility.

The doctor is so friendly and listened to all the problems without hurry. Advised a x-ray and explained the diagnosis in simple language. He did not scare me with medical terms and was ready to help me with all questions I had. He is not the one who recommends various tests without a reason. My first impression was satisfactory and would recommend him. I will revisit him in a week. A special mention about the Physiotherapist Bharath. Very patient and explained the process. Overall a good experience.

Hi, I met the doctor today and the experience was very amazing. I had gone regarding my knee pain and the doctor was very friendly and genuine in expaining the cause and how it could be prevented in the future. I feel very confident now and I would recommend him for anybody with bone / spine issues. Thanks !!

I have been here for the second time and I like the way the doctor listens to his patients. Then do a checkup and explain the problem in a way we can understand, followed by medicines. Was very friendly and request the doctor to continue the way he is. The clinic is very neat, spacious with attached x-ray center and a physiotherapist as well.

I have booked an appointment in practo with this doctor. I have got a confirmation message for the appointment. After visiting hospital, person's in there informed like doctor is not coming today. But we didn't get any appointment cancel notification or nothing. If doctor is not available then why they are accepting appointment.. It's waste of our time.
