Visited For Lower Back Pain
Happy with: Doctor friendlinessExplanation of the health issueTreatment satisfactionValue for moneyWait time
Unlike other Doctor’s today , Dr Praveen M is sincere to the profession. advice less medicines and too many tests avoided , unless really needed .
He is approachable , good listener and explains back everything clearly to us also .
I have recommended Dr Praveen to so many people and everyone is happy ! That’s a big achievement .
Recall having even advised an elder person who was to get admitted at Aster CMI for knee replacement to go to Axon - Dr praveen for the same. Not only did the patient save huge money , but also extremely happy and back to normal life .
Likewise so many people were advised by doc to avoid surgery and treated with exercise and rest .
I am sure he will be in prayers of many patients , having successfully handled and cured them .

"SPRAIN" concluded as "FRACTURE"
Doctor Praveen said my ankle had a fracture and put a cast for my leg. However, I couldnt see any fracture in the X-ray, so I got suspicious about this and took a second opinion. Concluded that it was JUST A SPRAIN AND NOT A FRACTURE.

Visited For Bone TraumaOrthopedic physical therapy
I would say it was ok. I read comments that he don't recommend unnecessary meds and that is true.
But I went for a lump on my knee cap and severe pinching pain in my ankles. Surprisingly the explainations given by him for the cause of condition were not enough.
And the remedy were temporary hot water applications .
I went for some.permanent solution which it seems he didn't had.
He was in a great hurry to see next patient too .
My every question ended up him replying yes yes yes
Visited For Joint PainKnee Pain
