Great first visit! Dr p was patient,kind,devised a plan for comfort and a care. Explained perfectly my procedure and exercises before so the healing process is more rapid. The staff was caring, and expedited my visit in a timely manner. I did appreciate the text messages that my scripts had been sent to the pharmacy.
Excellent surgery . Will continue to refer patients to him
He is very competent, knowledgesble and intelligent and willing to listen to me. I would highly recommend his services to others.
Dr. P done my 2nd knee replacement today. He done my first one in June. He is an amazing surgeon!
Explains each step of the procedure and how each may feel.
Informed me of all options in a very clear and concise manner.
He’s the best🥰I just love that guy🥰
Dr. Ponnusamy is such a kind and nice doctor. Answered all my questions.
Dr.Ponnusay is a caring professionals person and explains everything thoroughly. I had hip surgery on my left hip previously at a different practice and it resulted in nerve damage. He put my mind at ease explaining his method that prevents nerve damage. He did my RT hip on 9/26 and it has been a totally different experience. It went smoothly and I’m on my way to a pain free life.
Doctor Ponnusamy listened to my hip pain concerns, then quickly diagnosed and addressed my IT band issue.
