I had a hard time understanding him even with Hearing Aids. He talked very softly, and had a mask on.
The best in every aspect. The surgery went well and I really like the method of doing it from the front..
Great bedside manner! Answered my many questions completely and in an unhurried fashion. If he is a few minutes late to your appointment, remember that he is going to take all the time YOU need as well!
He is exceptional. He is very careful to check everything when I have an appointment and wants to make sure I am doing well after my surgery which was 2 years ago. I will see him again in 2 years. I am.so glad he did my surgery.
Dr. Ponnusamy has handled my knee surgery journey so well. This was the 2nd knee replaced by him, and I'm sure I will do just as well in rehab, due to his excellent work. Thank you!
He’s a very good Doctor, with excellent patient care.
Very caring and kind doctor.
Excellent Doctor. Spoke to me prior to surgery to assure me I was in good hands and answer any questions/concerns I might have.
:) thank you!
Thank you for all your help and helping me. I appreciate your services and my goal is to get my A1c down so that I can have my knee surgery so my knee can’t feel better thank you and your staff so much for all your help. Love, Jackie DUDLEY.
