I had chronic knee pain for 2 years and visited multiple doctors. Dr. Rufus Vasanth was the first one who took 20 minutes to explain the X-ray and MRI properly. He gave both surgical and non-surgical options. Did not push for surgery immediately. The clinic in Anna Nagar is clean and staff is courteous. Finally I opted for treatment under him and the results have been good. Very ethical doctor.

I was suggested immediate surgery by another hospital. I took a second opinion with Dr. Rufus in Anna Nagar. He reviewed all my reports and suggested 3 months of physiotherapy first. That actually helped me avoid surgery for now. I appreciate his honest opinion. Not all doctors do that.

Took my 72 year old mother for bilateral knee pain. Dr. Rufus was very gentle with her and explained everything in simple Tamil and English. We went ahead with robotic knee replacement on one side first. Recovery was faster than expected. Nursing staff was also very supportive for elderly patients.
