Dr. Venkataramanan Swaminathan

“Hello" Hi! Mr. K. Appala Narayana is my father who is now 92 years of age and residing in Visakhapatnam. Around the age of 82 years, I saw him suffering from severe knee pain when he came to see us in Chennai. He was a brisk walker until the age of 70. But after his 70s his walk became slow and he was unable to walk even for a small distance without pain. He used to complain of pain in both his knees. He was not relieved with pain killers and external pain balms. Finally, we decided to consult an Orthopedician for his knee replacement in Chennai. Fortunately, one of our family friends Mr. Sekhar Babu who is working as a physiotherapist in Chennai suggested Dr. S. Venkataramanan’s name and he immediately fixed an appointment with him at Apollo Hospitals, Greams road, Chennai. Dr. Venkataramanan Swaminathan is a highly experienced Orthopaedic & Joint Replacement Surgeon in Chennai, primarily associated with Apollo Speciality Hospitals, OMR. He is very humble, practical, generous and compassionate with his patients. After thorough examination of both his knees and after necessary investigations Dr. S.Venkataramanan advised us to go for bilateral knee joint replacement as he was fit for undergoing surgery. On the advice of the doctor, he underwent bilateral knee replacement surgery (in the year 2016) at Apollo Hospitals, Perungudi, Chennai by Dr. S. Venkataramanan’s team. He was discharged from Apollo Hospital after a week’s time of post operative care. He was on regular check-ups by the Doctor and followed physiotherapy stringently, which was given by our family friend Mr. Sekhar Babu, in one month’s period my father was able to walk like a normal person. We felt so happy seeing my father’s happiness. We expressed our happiness & shared our thanks to Dr. S. Venkataramanan for his timely support and his sincere efforts. Many of my relatives, friends and neighbours are happy seeing the success of my father knee joint replacement and his ability to walk and climb stairs comfortably even at the age of 92 years. Happy to convey that my father inspired many of my close friends to keep their hesitation aside and then immediately go for a knee joint replacement surgery. In fact, we have recommended Dr. S. Venkataramanan, Orthopaedic & Joint Replacement Surgeon name to all our known family members & friends who are in need of a good knee joint replacement surgery at Chennai.

Doctor is very patient and takes a lot of time in explaining the problem to the patient and providing the best treatment.He is fluent in many languages including Bengali,which was very helpful for my mother in law. ** ** Strongly recommend him.Very happy with the experience.

Took 5.5 hrs ti complete a general checkup inspite of having a confirmed appointment. Staff is not friendly and non responsive when asked about timelines. Very irritating experience and will never recommend any one to Apollo whose staff does not understand the value of money and human. ** ** ** ** ** ** * * ** ** * **
