I had a ligament tear back in 2014 while playing Volleyball and in MRI it was confirmed that a partial tear had occurred. Then I visited few doctors and they conveyed ligament tear has the ability to cure naturally but you have go through strengthening exercise with a physiotherapist. I did not take it seriously and after 4 years when I played Badminton once again back in August 2019 the same tear became a complete one. Tried natural treatment for 2 months but the pain kept on creeping. Then took an MRI and met Dr Shivaram from Chettinad after seeing reviews in Practo. The moment I met him the way he greeted me took me by surprise. He was so down to earth and listened to my entire history. He said it's better to go for surgery since meniscus had blood cloth. I immediately agreed for the operation he sent the confirmation to insurance desk within few hours and he was so supportive in this approval process. His turn around time was unbelievable. I was operated in November 2019. The operation was delayed by few hours. He visited me when I was in the waiting room and informed me about the delay. During entire operation he was enquiring about my stability and if there was anything am feeling uncomfortable.Once after being changed to room he visited and for the next two days he took care of me with utmost kindness.Even today he calls me and enquires about my recovery process and am feeling much better as days pass by. One of the best orthopedic doctors and probably the best doctor I have met in my life. Doctors have a godly image and when you meet someone close to that then you are privileged.If you are suffering from ligament tear and meniscus tear without any 2nd hopes reach to this doctor and get yourself better. Forever obliged to this doctor. Not sure if he would read this one. If he reads this message is for him ' Thanks Doctor Thanks for making me get through this. Gifted to have met you '

Visited Dr. Babukumar (Gastroenterologist)
Note: This doctor is no longer practicing at
Dr Babu Kumar performed endoscopy for my daughter(10 yrs old) to take out the coin she swallowed accidentally. It was a very smooth process right from admission till discharge( all happened in a day's time) in chettinad hospital. My daughter didn't feel any discomfort going through journey and she was normal within 2 hours after the procedure. Im glad that I reached out to the right specialist. Also,given the covid situation, I was initially scared to visit any hospital. But I was comfortable once I saw all precautionary norms put in place. Dr Babukumar and his team were very friendly and supportive and kept me well informed on the activities/procedures that being performed.
Thank you doctor for the timely help and support you offered to us !!
