Dr. Kamalakannan has treated me for gastritis and is also helping me deal with the chronic issue of functional dyspepsia. I am also struggling with a health anxiety disorder which prompts me to be particular about the type of personality I seek in a physician. In addition to highest level of competence in their field, I earnestly seek compassion, patience, listening ability and strong ethics. I am very grateful to Dr. Kamalakannan who embodies all those virtues and for helping me to both clearly understand and overcome physiological & psychological issues that have been plaguing me for a few years now. Practo feedback mechanism helped me to discover him and I thank all patients who gave feedback since this helped me in my search for a suitable gastroenterologist. Through this feedback, I wish to suggest this truly great doctor for anyone seeking an excellent practitioner for consultation & cure. Also, i hail from Mahabalipuram (60km away from chennai) and have done both in person and video consultation with the doctor. I appreciate that i could consult from home when appropriate.
Visited For Constipation Treatment

My father had undergone complicated anal reconstruction surgery when he was 11 months old in Trivandrum. Now, he is 64 years old, and have been remaining with good health.Last month, he suffered from severe stomach pain and constipation for a week. We consulted our doctor in Trivandrum and as per advice, took a scan to find out that there is some growth in his rectal wall and was given enema temporarily to releive constipation issues and was recommended to consult a Gastroenterology surgeon. I took them to Dr. Kamalakannan for consultation. He listened patiently to everything what we had to say, learnt my father's medical history, examined my father and explained everything very well and said there seems to be no worrisome problems. Anyways to confirm, he advised to take a pelvic CT scan and results showed that there is no such growth. Doctor's examination was perfect and matching. Still to reconfirm, he conducted a colonoscopy and confirmed that my father is perfectly alright. He prescribed very few medicines for constipation and motion control. My father was very happy and finally, we all got peace of mind. We are highly grateful for his unblemished service.
Visited For Blood in Stools

To start with Iam a chronic IBS patient for the last 32 years. I have undergone 6 Colonoscopy procedures till the latest one last week. I was ok till about 3 months ago and suddenly noticed mucous and blood in the stools. I was on Homeopathy for the last 5 years. This time it did not work. The homeo Dr advised me to see a Gastro. I did not know where and whom to go. some suggested Apollo but I decided that I will never go to Apollo for various reasons. I googled and found the Practo app. Here again I was confused whom to select. after seeing the various reviews I decided Dr. Kamalakannan in June 2021.First had an online consultation and he asked me to come over to his clinic. He explained all the procedures to be done step by step. Although it took nearly two months, After doing various tests, I had to undergo a procedure for removal of a Polyp which Dr. operated successfuly. Iam ok now. I thank Dr. profusely with folded hands and would straight away recomend him for any stomach related disorders.
I've been seeing Dr. R. Kamalakannan for my gastritis for the past two years. My condition was worse before, but now I'm getting better. He communicates very well and accurately identifies the problem. Overall, I'm satisfied with the consultation.
