As always - the best!
Outstanding experience! Doc did a great job! Highly recommend.
Dr Ponnusamy was cordial. He took notes as I described my issue. My primary complaint was that he was 40 minutes late seeing me. I am generally understanding but, he failed to offer an apology or explanation.
Good doctor. Very professional and knowledgeable.
Dr K Ponnusamy Is very professional and knowledgeable in his industry. I pray that this hip surgery goes well and I get a quick recovery. God bless bless you Doctor
Dr. P did my first knee replacement in 2020 and he just did the other one this week. I wouldn't have wanted anyone else! He has a great listening ear and is a superbly-skilled surgeon. My physical therapist is so pleased with what he has seen in my knee this first week along that he is planning to send his mother to Dr. P to get her new knee. The first day at PT, I reached the milestone they set for 2 weeks post-op! The therapist says this is directly accountable to what a great job Dr. P and his robot did. If you need a new knee, get yourself to Dr. P. You won't regret it!
Great doctor
Fantastic, great surgeon, I would give Doctor P a 10 STAR rating!
Always excellent information and services. He listens and cares.
Answered all my questions in a clear and complete manner.
