Dr. Prabhat Lakkireddi

I had been operated by Dr. Prabhat Lakkireddi on Aug 16 2018 for an Arthroscopic Bankart repair surgery on my right shoulder, which is a minimally invasive surgery to repair instability and restore function of a dislocated shoulder. I live in the United States and the injury first occurred while playing volleyball and later dislocated on several occasions while swimming, basketball, cricket etc. totaling to about 6 painful dislocations. This is common in Athletes wherein a few tend to put the shoulder back into position without pain, but for me, I am well built at 6ft/ 85kgs and when the shoulder dislocates the whole body is like locked and the only position of the body is to kneel and lay my arm on the ground. The body in an uncomfortable position and the pain is immense.

I was operated for ATFL Reconstruction(Ankle) with internal Brace in June 2018 done byDr.Prabhath sir and I am immensely happy with surgery and my recovery. I would like explain in detail about what happened and how Dr..Prabhath sir was helpful, sorry for the detailed feedback and hope this helps patients with similar problem.

I have visited few other doctors and they confirmed that I had torn my ACL and it needs to be reconstructed. Then I went through practo and found that he is the top orthopedist in Hyderabad based on the reviews. So I thought I would consult him for the second opinion. After talking to him, I have decided that I will get the surgery done by him. Yes, the reviews are helped to meet the **** doctor.. So writing this review so it would be helpful for somebody like me.. Unlike other online products the reviews of a doctor should be genuine as we keep our life in their hands.

** ** ***** **** *** **** ****** * **** **** **** I had visited various doctors for my knee issues but inspite of me doing everything the other doctors had recommended my knee never recovered. I had heard about Prabhat sir from a colleague of mine and visited. The doc had recommended to get a couple of tests done part which he had recommended me to get a meniscus surgery done for a permanent fix. The doc never hurried and tried to give me more time, explained the crux of the issue and even sent me a few videos for me to understand and mentally prepare myself. He was extremely professional during surgery right from his patience in explaining the issue in detail both to family and me before surgery n after surgery to his care for his patients makes him stand out. While it was supposed to be a meniscus surgery once he started the scopy and realized that my ACL was damaged as well, explained the issue to my family showed photos and took their consent to fix that as well since it was the root cause of the meniscus injury n a better permanent fix. I really liked his honesty here as he could have simple gone ahead with meniscus repair as planned but his genuine intent of fixing the knee for good and suggesting whats the right thing to do for patients is appreciable. The time he gives to patients even during appointments is noteworthy. If you are looking for an ortho look no further. He has a really good support team as well Venkat who manages appointments n paperwork, Krishna one of the physio under him are very professional and good at what they do. Thanks Prabhat sir n team for a successful surgery I was able to walk with a walker the next day after surgery n without walker in a few days with a ROM support.
