Our mother, (51 yrs) is a patient of Rheumatoid Arthritis since 25 yrs. We visited various doctors at various places but everyone told that knee replacement was the only option. She visited Bangalore in 2016 and the pain was so high that we had to go for the surgery. Though she was in considerable pain, she was willing to prolong it for the sake of rumours heard as many People warned us of the difficulties of the recovery period, after the surgery that there was going to be enormous pain and unless prescribed exercises are not done stringently, the whole expensive surgery would be a waste, that there is a chance that she'll lose the very functioning of her legs. These were more or less why my mom kept postponing the surgery indefinitely and endured the existing pain.
As we were not aware about the doctors here, so we used Practo, where we got to know about Dr Balasubramanyam who had 100% votes. So, we visited him and felt that in the current world where most of them see patients as customers and medical field as a business opportunity, he was the one who checked all the previous reports and also inquired about each and every problem she had. Dr. Balasubramanyam is someone who you can trust with full of confidence.
After visiting him we also visited few other hospitals like Fortis, Apollo, Hosmat where we didn't get that confidence and trust which was build with Dr Balasubramanyam. So, finally we decided for the surgery on 21st December 2016. In our first visit itself, we were given 100% assurance of successful result if it was operated and given grace time for the operating payments. Even the price for the operation costed less comparatively to any other multi specialty hospital in Bangalore. Within a week's of time the operation was conducted and the result was amazingly unexpected. As she had arthritis on both legs, she had to undergo both the knee surgery at a time *** ** ****** *** ****** *** **** ********* ******** ******* I have never seen my mother walking in perfect posture but that was seen after the operation. Also about the service and care, the hospital staffs are very co-operative. They are always ready to help. Although the hospital looks small, but the rooms are big enough in size and has all the facilities along with one attendant's bed. The room and the washroom are so neat and clean that you will not get a feeling that you are staying in a hospital.
I am very happy to declare that the surgery was a very successful one and now she can walk freely without any problem. Dr Balasubramanyam also helped us very well with insurance coverage. Dr. Balasubramanyam has been helpful throughout and open to query's all the time. I thank him for the surgery and the recovery. I recommend any patient with knee problem can undergo knee replacement with Dr Balasubramanyam without any hesitation. He is the most cooperative doctor I have ever seen. More than a doctor he his very good human being he knows about situation of people very friendly nature and dynamic there is no hide and seek treatment to waist the money patience he his very strict in follow up with patients.
Also the managing director (Satish) is very nice and co-operative, even being MD of the hospital he took care of each and everything very minutely.
He ensured that every thing goes smooth.

It was tryst with my destiny that made me visit Dr. Balasubrahmanyam P R at his Susheel Orthopaedic Centre on 11th May this year. It was really a memorable meeting with a wonderful Doctor with a humanely behaviour now seldom seen in professional doctors. Before him I visited 2 best hospital in Bangalore who seems to be interested only to perform TKR without explaining the extra risk involved in simulteneous removal of an implant in my left tibia implanted 16 years ago. These two hospitals are Manipal & Sparsh Hospital in Bangalore. Their behaviour was totally mechanical and they tried to encash with higher package for TKR once they knew that I have medical insurance. Then one of my son's friend recommended Dr Balasubramanyam based on Practo evaluation by patients. We met him at his chamber at Susheel Orthopaedics. He asked for the erlier x-rays done on my knee joint. On seeing the x-ray, he said that the joint gone very bad and need to be operated soon. We told him about what the doctors of the two hospital said. But he advised for removal of the earlier implant first to minimisee the risk factor in TKR operation and to go in for TKR at a later date and prescribed some medicines..We revealed to him that we have insurance coverage but he seems not interested in that and not advised instant TKR as the other two did. However, after 3-4 days we decided to go in for TKR without first removal of erlier implant on tibia. Initially, he resisted explaining that it will increase 1 percentage point risk in surgery but seeing our urgency agreed to do the operation at Sagar Hospital as operation theater facility was good there and told us that he will get the management of the hospital no to charge more than 3 lakhs and that too with deluxe single sharing room. Whereas, the other two hospital offered package of 3.8 lakh to 4.20 lakh for twin sharing accomodation. On the penultimate day on 19th May , he operated on my left knee after first removing the implant on tibia and also removing another implant on lower right leg. The TKR operation was typically sucessful as the x-ray revealed. During my hospital days he regularly visited me and counselled me for the discomfort that I was enduring at that time. I was discharged on 24th May without any complication except some contineous pain. Physiotherapy was done upto 25th of June before I left for Bhopal. During this one month period I visited him 3 times and got due care and medical advice from him. One more thing, the hospital bill against insurance was 3.11 lakh & non medical expenses of another 11 thousand. Today is 1 month 14 days from surgery. I started waking 1.5 KM to 2 KM twice a day without any difficulty getting almost 100 bend except for some contineous low intensity pain in my operated leg. Though the period is too early, I hope to be better and better with time. Hope the pain also gone with time. It is all because of the Doctor that I am walking again. Many many thanks to the doctor for his wonderfull services. I would definitely recommend Dr Balasubrahmanyum P R for any successful knee surgery. Thanks again Doctor.
