My Mother Smt. B.V.Ramani was diagnosed by Carcinoma Endometrium Stage IV, spread into her left Para Aortic Lymph Nodes in 2015. She had extremely severe pain as the swelled node compresses the nerve at L2 -L3 region. Pain was so severe that my mother who was ever active, strong, highly optimistic and cheerful used to cry for hours together. The cancer was inoperable as it was very close to Aorta. We took her to many hospitals including Basavatarakam Cancer Hospital in Hyderabad. All the doctors whom we met said that there is no hope and she had a couple of months left, with her quality of life degrading steadily. After all our efforts we got to know about Dr. K.V.D.Praveen and took my mother to Mahatma Gandhi Cancer Hospital. We were struck by his warmth, caring and composed approach in understanding her problem and restoring faith and hope . After the first meeting with him my mother's confidence rejuvenated to great extent and her fighting spirit was bolstered. She gone through 6 chemotheraphys and 10 sittings of radiation. His support during the treatment was invaluable. After using his medication, pain reduced to good extent and he was always ready to help us even at the odd hours of the day. He spoke to her for long time in each appointment and ensured that she is mentally strong. He treated her not like a patient but like a family member. We haven't seen a doctor so humane, humbled and yet highly skilled in his profession. My mother passed away recently on June 8th 2017 nevertheless she had no trace of despondency at any point of time for which most of the credit should go to Praveen Sir's effort. May God bless him

Dr. KVD Praveen approaches each patient with an open mind, demonstrating exceptional analytical skills as he carefully examines the evidence at hand.His dedication to understanding the root of the issue (spent 30 mins with my mom) sets him apart in today's medical landscape. Dr. Praveen's proficiency and genuine kindness make him a truly unique practitioner. We wholeheartedly endorse his services.
My mother in law s.sitamma was diagnosed as a case of trigeminal neuralgia 4 years back for which we consulted several neurologists in vizag, even the most famous doctors could not treat her problem. Finally one of our family physician asked us to meet Dr K.v.d.praveen.
Praveen sir was quite kind, considerate. He had spent almost 40 minutes with the patient , carefully listened to all our queries. He consoled the patient like a son. He had put her on medical treatment for10 days followed by nerve injection which had completely relieved her pain. Previously the patient had severe shock like pain on one half of the face which was not allowing her to eat food, brush her teeth . after the injection , she was absolutely pain free. Sir told us all the risks and benefits involved in the treatment with great patience . he performed the procedure with great skill. He relieved a great burden on our family. Later he also diagnosed my sons knee problem and referred us to the right doctor.
These days it is very hard to find doctors of this type. May god bless himand his family with health and happiness

Iam so thankful to Dr praveen since he has diagnosed and cured a chronic pain problem of my wife. She has been suffering from upper back pain quite severe and shock like pain for which so many doctors were being consulted, nobody could diagnose. Finally we came to know about this doctor through Dr mahesh. When we visited him he spent lot of time with the patient did an ultrasonography and diagnosed that the pain is because of ectopic activity from a neuroma, and advised surgical excision … which has cured the pain completely. We are so thankful to him . he is the first one to consult if any body is having pain. Thanks a lot doctor
My father was having severe low back ache since last 5 months. We have visited several orthopedic doctors. They have put him on several drugs and advised lumbar belt which could not relieve his symptoms. Finally since I came to know about Dr praveen , we brought him to the doctor. He is the man who could diagnose my fathers problem as multiple myeloma. Then he along with a medical and radiation oncologist took care of my father.
This doctor is quite good at his diagnostic skills and knowledge. He does not jump on to do a procedure. He carefully assesses the patient, discusses with relatives. His approach towards the patients is quite holistic. He always talks to other doctors who are treating my father and then used to take collaborative decision which really helped my father. Though my father was diagnosed to have a serious problem, the doctors attitude and approach to my father really made a difference to our lives. We thank him very much

My mother-in-law had almost given up on walking even with a stick due to extreme pain in her knees that made movement difficult. She would use wheelchair even in the home. We visited Dr. Praveen for diagnostic nerve blockage treatment and thanks to his ******** treatment, she’s now able to move inside the house with the help of a stick easily
