My Mom had difficulties even to walk last year and there were many sleepless nights because of severe leg pain. But now with the logical treatment given she is able to walk normally and recovered well.
Before visiting Dr. Shanmuga Sundaram, we have visited hospitals in Bangalore and in my native, but none were able to find the root cause.
Every other doctor was suggesting for the total knee replacement surgery, without even understanding what the real pain is.
Dr.Shanmuga Sundaram , was able to diagnose and find the real root cause for her condition. Only because of his logical treatment today, my mom feels confident again that she can walk and sleep normally.
This Doctor really cares about the patient and performs his duties.
I still remember the sentence he told me when I visited with my mom which is "If my mom is this situation, what kind of treatment is given, the same is being given to your mom, ".
I strongly recommend this clinic/Dr. Shanmuga Sundaram for all of the Ortho issues.
May God bless you and your family with lots of happiness.
Thank you Sir.
Visited For Bone Fracture
I visited Dr. Sundaram at Adyar Ortho Clinic for treatment of pain in the Coccyx. The clinic is run professionally and appears neat and clean. I was able to meet the doctor within10 mins from the appointed time. Dr. Sundaram diagnosed the problem quickly and for confirmation asked for an X-ray. All of this went quite well. ********* ** ** ** ****** ** *** ***** He also has a very warm and pleasant personality. However, I would like to highlight one very questionable and unethical practice of prescribing many useless medicines from run-of-the mills pharmacy companies and then selling those medicines from the in-house pharmacy. ** ********** * ********* ** ** * ******* * * ****** ******** *********** *********** ***** ******* ******** ***************** ***** ***** ******** **************** *** ****** ***** **** ******** Except Intas Pharma, every other company appears questionable. When the same composition drugs are available from relatively reputed companies at lower cost then it does not make any sense to prescribe such medicines from any tom-dick-and-harry Pharma companies ***** ** ****** *** *** ******* **** ********** ** ********* **** ********** It takes years to build a reputation and just minutes to get it destroyed. Please don't destroy your reputation. You are such a fine doctor. It doesn't fit your stature. Hope you will reflect on it and do something positive about it. Thanks. Wish you all the best.

I have been suffering with pain in my right shoulder for the past 6 years. I have taken so many treatments (Allopathic, Ayurvedic and Homeopathy) for the pain management but it reoccurred always. Pain almost led me to depressed mode. I met the doctor at his clinic with prior appointment. He listened my problems patiently in no hurry and suggested an MRI (which i had done number of times previously) and the recommended same to one of the leading radiologist. The MRI report revealed a small tumour on my right scapula. Doctor suggested me a PET scan to make sure whether i have any other tumour which is causing pain and also to make sure whether the tumour is malignant or benign. Doctor was so much detailed and he wanted to make sure right diagnosis is done before starting the treatment. After the right diagnosis surgery was done. Relieved from pain and undergoing post operative treatment.
I would highly recommend this clinic and his services to everyone.

I had been suffering with major leg pull for many months. was not able to walk and had sleepless nights where I used to get pull in my legs. visited this doctor and my first talk with him made me feel so comfortable, cos I think of doctors scares me of surgeries. He made me so comfortable that I followed all his instruction from day 1, and after a month of physio and medication, I have crossed the stage where he said I have recovered much better that I can do without any surgeries.. Thank you doctor.
Visited For OsteoporosisCervical Problem
1. When I first presented my mother's MRI in her absence (he had not seen my mom) he immediately queried about her curved back. It shows his attention to detail. ********* **********
2. Doctor establishes a quick rapport with the patients. He made my mom feel very comfortable. My mom with her simple ways does not go by logical questioning. She simply goes by faith. Her faith was well established in her first visit.
3. He has a calm demeanor and takes time to determine the kind of tests required to rule out diseases and put her through right medication.
4. You will not get the typical question of "do you have insurance"?
5. Friendly with the patients and the attendants.
6. Mother is already on her way to recovery. When we came in she was even unable to get up from the bed. Its been a month the treatment started and she started getting up from the bed on her own during the first week. Slowly she is able to sit up for food and even for a chat with us.
