Chennai Ortho And Spine Center, Adyar

My father in law had a serious issue with his spine. He underwent a spine stabilization surgery ** ****** ******** ****** **** in August 2019. Which was an absolute lost cause. We wnet back to again and again to set it right, but to no avail.

By November of 2019 he was almost laid up in bed.. at this time only we were referred to Dr. Muralidaran at apollo hospital Perungudi. We mde an appointment with him and he explained to us in very clear manner what the problem was and also what can be done to set it right..

We were sceptical about under going such a mjor surgery again with in 6 months time , considering his 73 years age.

But Dr. Muralidaran was very confident that it can be performed with very minlmal risk...which in turn gave us confidence m.

He had advised us ,how best the surgery can be done and he had told us that with in 6- 8 weeks he will be able to walk.

Cages and screws were put along the spine at 8 levels . He was in the hospital for 5 days and then he was back home. Where he recaptured very well. As assured by the doctor he was able to walk with help of walker in 2-3 weeks with in 8 weeks he was able to walk well.

After surgery visits were also hassle free.. we are so relieved now. He is walking much better with out support and he is able to perform all his work by himself. He had prescribed very little medicine always advising that taking lots of medicine is not good in the long run.

He is also always available if we have any issues or doubt. Very approachable.

We are very thankful to Dr. Muralidaran for his help.

My Wife had a fall and had dislocated her left shoulder joint and this was put back under anaesthesia. But following fall, she developed severe burning sensation and weakness in the left hand. My wife was struggling to do any work and even struggling to look after her self. She has been taking various medications for that but did not improve. Then we met Dr Damodaran through practo in his clinic. we didn't need to wait long as it was by appointment and the staffs were pleasant. Dr Damodaran examined my wife thoroughly and diagnosed that she had isolated nerve injury and called it ulnar nerve neuropraxia due to dislocation. Apparently this is unusual occurrence. He suggested physiotherapy to start with. I must say within few days my wife experienced improvement and the burning sensation reduced. and her tablets intake came down drastically. The physiotherapist in his clinic was experienced and she could teach simple things. Dr Damodaran's correct diagnosis and timely treatment helped my wife gain her strength. She has improved a lot.

I recommend Dr Damodaran not only for his ability but also for his pleasant demeanor and the patience he has to explain things in detail.

Thank you Dr.Muralidharan sir for the successful surgery on my back. All the leg pain is gone. It’s great to feel this good again. It’s been a little over 4 months now since my surgery and I feel better than I have in years. My only regret is that I didn’t see you 3 years ago. Thanks again for restoring my quality of life and adding a bunch of miles to my bones! Our questions are always answered with great patience on your part. I really appreciate that. We are so fortunate to have you and your team always ready to help us. Thanks for being there.Your patient,

My wife R.Vasantha 65 years old was suffering from low back pain. She could not even sit, even for taking lunch/ dinner. Pain was extreme for the last two years. As she was 65, I hesitate, even to consult any surgeon for the long two years. Finally , I consulted, different ortho surgeons on the issue , but none explained , after examination of the patient. Finally, I came to know of Mr. Muralidharan and consulted him. He explained in detail and also, informed us, what he proposed to do about the problem. He gave us full confidence about the surgery. Finally, we agreed to the surgery, which was performed by Dr.Muralidharan and his team,in Apollo specialty hospital, perungudi.

Now my wife R.Vasantha 65, is NOT having any pain, and she is able to walk, sit and do her work with ease.

The doctor was very friendly and explained in detail about why I had pain in my shoulder and the treatment for the same. He prescribed medicines as well as physiotherapy with in-house specialists. The environment was clean and professional. I was able to easily fix appointment with the doctor by co-ordinating with his secretary and was able to meet him at the appointed time. The doctor's experience and excellence played a big role in boosting up my confidence. Apart from being a good doctor, he is a great human.

Thank you so much for all your contribution and efforts that you do to keep us well.

I really admire all your dedication towards your work. Thanks for being an amazing doctor.

Dr Damodaran was patient enough to listen to my problems. He took time to understand and assess the problem. He gave a beautiful explanation of my problem and the proposed treatment. His explanation was so good even a layman like me could understand. He was open about the proposed treatment and also was honey to say if the treatment will be effective or not. He also made me aware that my case was quite unique and could potentially become a case study. He did not rush with his treatment and was patient and suggested a phased treatment. Overall a very good experience and complete satisfaction.

Very friendly and a humble personified person. Gave a detailed info about my muscle condition and where i exactly stood as far as my body was concerned. His prescribed medicines & physiotherapy really helped my muscles to relax and in turn helped me to sleep without any leg pain. A Special mention on his physiotherapy team. Both Leo & Ilakiya were extremely kind and very methodical in their approach. Overall, it was a satisfying consultation and i felt i had come at the right time This is my candid feedback about Dr, Damodaran.

Mine was chronic issue and Dr Damu was able to get this diagnosed on the very first time itself. Couple of XRays and 10 minutes of diagnosis is what all it took. 7 days later I was able to go about my regular routine and 30 days later I was able to play again.

A very friendly and enthusiastic person, his cheerfulness rubs on you. I would recommend him anytime for anything even remotely connected to ortho.

I have been visiting Dr. Damo for my shoulder and neck problems. He is very friendly and professional. He takes time to listen and understand the concerns. It is a delightful experience - excellent clinic atmosphere - neat & clean, friendly staff - especially the physiotherapist staff are very caring and ensuring the personalized treatment.

Thank you Dr for your great care and service.

Dr. Muralidharan Sir is indeed a great combination of Knowledge, Proffessionalism and best patient care. He is very kind , polite and supportive. My brother, just 26 underwent MLD in some other hospital in march, improved,but within one month he was bed ridden again and was a lost surgery. Then we came to know about Dr. Muralidharan Sir, we visited sir at COSC, he gives optimum time and explains everything in simplest way possible..his confidence gave us positive hopes, finally sir did surgery at apollo hospital 1 month back and my brother is recovering well. Best part is, unlike others sir takes care of patient even after surgery till full recovery and hence post-op follow up is very easy. Sir is always available to clear if we have any doubts. Our experience with sir was beyond expectations..Thank u so much Sir for ur immense help in our tough times
