I had the fortunate experience of being under Dr. Raj Yalamanchilli care for my really bad knees. Both knees need to have TNR (total knee replacement) but we concentrated on the left knee first because of it's extremely bowed appearance, and the bone crushing against bone severe pain I experienced daily. Dr. Raj from the moment I met him was very friendly, professional, compassionate, listened intently, and understood my situation. He patiently took the time to explain what he saw in my x-rays and what would be needed to correct the situation and get me on the road to recovery. During the post op appointment, he answered any other questions that I had and helped me feel really comfortable about my upcoming surgery. The day of my TLKR, he helped me feel confident that I was in good hands and assisted with eliminating any nervousness I felt. I am now 6 weeks post op and doing extremely well. I have been released to resume normal activities and I have a great ROM and extension. He is a fantastic surgeon and beyond reproach. His team of physicians on the day of surgery and attending staff at the hospital were very friendly and accommodating (I needed to stay over night for break out pain) . The entire experience was GREAT! So much so, I am looking forward to getting the right knee done. Thank you Dr. Raj for your excellent bedside manner, and for being a superb surgeon. I definitely without a shadow of doubt recommend Dr. Raj Yalamanchilli for total knee replacement.
