Consulted Dr. Premkumar (Diabetic Foot Surgeon) for Diabetic Foot Treatment/Surgery
Happy with:Â Doctor friendlinessTreatment satisfaction
At the outset, we are indeed satisified with the treatment provided to my father.
To say about our experience and his treatment, my father had a diabetic wound on his left ankle. We went to many hospitals and one of our relatives had recommended this doctor. We went to him and on the first day itself, he initiated the treatment by directly opening and cleaning the wound, without prolonging it for any reason even for procedural or medical testing or reporting.
We consider that was the first impression created on him. Beacuse, according to us, that was the great relief given by him, since my father had been suffered with huge pain with that wound. Secondly, we really admired him for his undisguised service. Each time, he himself only clean the wound and do the dressing to my father. He used to touch my father's foot and clean the wound without any nauseate feel. He mostly didn't take assistance from the nurses for cleaning the wounds. I think that clearly demonstrates his dedicated service and patience towards his patients.
Generally, there is a panic among the people on diabetic foot issue. Even I have heard from my relatives and friends that they were also struggled with this issue and they had been advised to remove their respective parts of the leg. However, I have observed that he is taking every foot issue as a challenging one and healing the same completely without any amputation. It is pertinent to mention that he is healing the foot wounds within the stipulated time with the right medicines. Hence, I strongly recommend him for any stage of diabetic foot issue.
To sum up in a line, he has magic in his hands.

I visited Dr Prem for my father's complication in his left foot. He was suffering since almost 7 months, had visited lot of doctors in India. Finally, we got to know about Dr Prem. He diagnosed his leg and cleared off all doubts regarding his disease.
My father was diagnosed with Charcot's Foot problem, a very rare diabetic foot condition.
Where in, some doctors had already suggested for amputation, Dr Prem clearly overruled the need for it. He simply suggested him to rest as much as possible and to only walk with the help of ITB Crow walker.
Apart from just visiting him, I would like to mention how the doctor is always available to help via call and whatsapp. I belong from kolkata and initially was in second thoughts about travelling to Chennai with my father since he was advised not to walk at all as it could be dangerous. So I was talking to the doctor on call. I had never visited him before, still he was ready to go through my father's reports in detail and advise him even on call and whatsapp. He was available even late at night when needed!
Later I even visited him in Chennai and was so satisfied with the kind of response. He is not one of those doctors who see their patients for the sake of their profession, he treats them with the sole aim of making them healthy with whole hearted compassion. He is unlike other doctors who are just professional.
Even though there is no permanent cure for my father's disease, he is feeling much better and taking precautions as suggested by Dr Prem. I can't thank him enough in words!
I totally recommend Dr Prem for any issue related to diabetic foot problem.

Retd Bank Manager.
I was suffering left foot swelling and pain without any injury since 31-03-20. I am a diabetic patient for the past 30 years. During this lockdown period I am clueless, how to treat my leg. In this situation my son contacted Dr. Premkumar, Podiatrist of Apollo hospital. Doctor verified my foot photos taken on various dates & diogonised my foot pain as DIABETIC FOOT INFECTION.
Doctor is kind enough to sent a nurse to my home twice daily for IV injections from 14-04-20 to 23-04-20 for treating my foot infection, during this critical lockdown situation. Doctor daily verified my foot phots and furnish guidance & tips for foot care. Also guide me DOS & DON'Ts for diabetic foot care.
I am blessed to have a Doctor like you for my recovery & healthier future.
With kind regards
Sincerely
Balusamy. D
