Visited For Root Canal Treatment (RCT)
I would not recommend anybody going to this doctor * ** *** **** *********** ** *** ********* **
Let me share my horrifying and painful experience .
I consulted this doctor , for my severe tooth pain which had a filling and I knew in my mind it needed a RCT .
Further I relied on practo review for this doctor and after completion of RCT , trouble started .
Puss formed in my tooth , gums were infected and it was all RED and swollen.I trusted the doc and went for multiple visit assuming he will give me the right remedy.
Doctor was so egoistic he did
Didn't accepted he made faulty treatment with very inferior quality GP material ( which I later came to know from other 2 endodontist)
Instead of accepting the fact after x-ray that RCT was not done properly and there was improper gap in both the canals, he suggested to wait if not cure then go for a Gum Surgery.I was scared and started going for second opinions.
I consulted multiple other dental clinic endodontist, and got a written recommendation from 2 for redoing RCT for both the canals,as there was a space in the canal and better quality of GP should be used, else infection and swelling of gum will continue.
Due to this mistake of Doctor, I had to undergo again re-RCT. Now I don't feel the same issues as it was before.

It's both mental and financial harassment.
Never Even take the risk going here.

Dr. Chockalingam is a thorough professional. There’s a general notion of fear when visiting a dentist, but his friendly & calm personality makes us comfortable immediately. He took the time to explain the condition of my teeth and the treatment that’ll be done. During the procedure too, I was made aware of what’s being done at every step. Clear instructions on after care, next follow up etc. The wait time at the clinic is something that bothered me at first, but that is justifiable as he takes time with every patient and doesn’t rush them off for his next appointment. Two of my closest relatives who’ve been postponing their dentist visit have seen the doctor after hearing my experience. Anyone in & around the vicinity of Velachery, Dr. Chockalingam should be your default choice for your dental problems.
I must say my visit to Dr.Chockalingam was one of my best decisions recently. I was on a short vacation in India when I decided to take a checkup with him as advised by my father. He explained to me the cleaning procedure, the reasons why its needed, the steps to achieve the outcome needed in good detail.Every procedure in my cleaning and filling, he showed the pre and post procedure status and advised proper followup steps for ensuring clean dental hygiene in future.Great experience, highly recommend his expertise and work. Thank you doctor.
