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.
Professional, Informative and skillful.
Dr Ponnusamy is the best. He is very thorough and I never fell rushed. He performed my total knee replacement and all went smoothly. He and his staff are top notch!
After seeing Dr. Ponnusamy for a consultation, I made the decision to move forward with a total hip replacement. He and his team are professional and compassionate and my recovery is progressing smoothly. Highly recommend.
He is a wonderful Doctor.
Very personable, also knowledgeable. He answered all my questions, knew what was wrong, set me up for test to confirm his diagnosis. I highly recommend him.
