Very thorough and informative.
He had good manners and discussed what was needed to help me with the pains i had in my leg aas well as my back. Told me what he was giving me a shot that would help with my pain.
EXCELLENT! If you need knee or hip work, Dr. P. is the man! Both knees without a problem. Extremely happy with his work.
Dr. Ponnusamy always takes time with me. He is very patient and knowledgeable
Outstanding care. Sensitive to take time to fully address questions.
Great bedside manner...explained thoroughly. ..
Dr. Ponnusamy answered all my questions about my up coming knee surgery. I did not feel rushed during the appointment.
Dr. P. took over an hour with me to address my issues and answer all my questions about knee replacement. He really cares about people! He brought in a model of the knee replacement and showed me what he would do. I'm lucky to have a Dr. that still understands that patients are people. I will recommend him to anyone needing knee surgery.
Outstanding, takes the time to listen and make recommendations. Rare to find this caring and concerned doctor anymore.
He is a very excellent doctor. My husband and myself both see him. He takes time with all his patients to explain every detail that is going on with your problem.
