I underwent Acl and meniscus repair surgery with Dr. Naveen Kumar. I had a fairly quicker recovery under his supervision. He gives enough time for patients to ask their queries , resolves all their doubts and provides them enough confidence for the recovery journey. His surgical team is always available and revert back with any queries you may have. This is my 4th week and I have already started walking. Thank you dr for your support and guidance.

Visited For Foot & Ankle
Hoped for better: Treatment satisfactionValue for money
Visited the clinic almost 3 weeks back with my mother. She had pain and swelling in ankle due to arthritis and I had pain in heel (bottom part) due to spur/plantar fasciitis. Though the explanation of the issue and examination by the assistant doctor was good, but there was no outcome of it. They are just forwarding a set of exercises to everyone irrespective of age and severity, whether they are 75 years old or 30 years old!!! My mother did the exercises for 2 days and her swelling and pain increased, she got swelling at the back of the ankle also, ******* *** *** **** ** *** ***** *** ***** **** ******** ** *** ***** ***** For myself, I continued doing the exercises exactly in the way they had told, but after 10 days or so, I also developed pain at the back of the ankle, and the heel pain is still there. I had come here with lot of hope after looking at doctor's qualification and reading the reviews, in fact waited for 3,4 days to show him only since he was out of station, but it was of no use. Looks like they are interested only in problems related to bones, for pains they are just handing over exercises and sending away.
Visited For Meniscus Injury

visited for Meniscus repairThis is kuladeep.it's a boon to bangaloreans to have such a wonderful,trustworthy, down to earth and patient friendly doctor in Bangalore.I had severe knee pain and swelling and visited several multispecilaity hospitals in bangalore. the first doctor suggested the whole meniscus has to be replaced with an artificial one. Else I would be suffering from early arthrities. for second opinion, we went to another multi speciality hospital. The second doctor told not to go for meniscus replacement as it is done in very rare cases. but he suggested to have both meniscus repair and ACL Reconstruction. Both the doctors had said that the cost would be around 4 to 5 lakhs. we were too scared and visited Dr. Naveen Kumar at sports orthopedic clinic based on . Just by talking to him all our tensions and fears were gone. he is a gem of doctor and rearest to find.He explained the problem by showing the pictorial representation so I knew what my issue is. he spent around 60 minutes to explain what my issue is. by physical examination , he ruled out all the unnecessary surgeries suggested by other doctors, eventhough we were asking. While operating also, he examined the knee and confirmed that ACL reconstruction is not required. In today's world,where most of the doctors suggesting unnecessary extra surgeries even though it is not all required for the sake of money based on my consultations with the most reputed doctors in big corporate hospitals in Bangalore, Dr.Naveen is the doctor who never ever suggests unnecessary surgeries.Even after the surgery he regularly followups with patients. He is available on phone call and WhatsApp. it's been 4 weeks and I am able to walk without any support. He is a gem of doctor who is patient friendly anybody can trust him blindly..

My experience with Dr.Naveen has been truly wonderful. I had found him on Practo while looking for a good surgeon for my torn ACL and Meniscus. While the reviews here has already set pretty high expectations for me, my experience with him in person exceeded even those. Coming to the actual consultation, what I liked the most about him was that he was extremely patient in answering all my queries. Even though I had already decided that I should go ahead with the surgery (based on the MRI scan report and my research), he made sure I understood the pros and cons of going ahead with the surgery. The appointment is normally only for 15 mins, but he spent a good 45 mins with me (thankfully there was no patient waiting at that time). Despite this long first appointment, he did not charge me for the follow up appointment even though I visited again after 8 days (his policy states that 2nd consultation is free until 7 days). Coming to the surgery, I strongly doubt if I could've had any better outcome. Based on my MRI scan, it seemed extremely unlikely that he would be able to save my Meniscus, but Dr.Naveen managed to save it as soon as he saw the opportunity during the surgery. It has been just 18 days since my surgery and I'm already able to walk fairly comfortably (with a slight limp which I'm sure will go away soon). The knee seems to be quite stable too.Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better surgeon and consultant for my knee issues. I would strongly recommend him to anyone considering ACL Reconstruction or Meniscectomy.
