Was my 2nd TKR - changed practices and glad I chose Dr Ponnusamy. Don’t let his innocent look fool you…I’m serious this doctor along with the incredible staff will amaze!
Dr. Ponnusamy is by far the best orthopedist that I have dealt with. He is kind, caring and always takes the time to listen to what my concerns are.
Replacement fantastic. Little or no pain. Thank you.
