As a young professional with hypertension, I visited Dr. Kanakaraj for a routine kidney function test. He spotted early signs of renal impairment that others had missed for years. His detailed dietary plan and medication adjustments reversed the damage, no more fatigue or swelling. Truly preventive care at its best!
Our 7-year-old daughter was diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome. Dr. Kanakaraj made her feel so comfortable, he used cartoon analogies to explain her condition and even had a stuffed animal in his clinic. Her proteinuria resolved in 3 months under his care. She now calls him 'Kidney Uncle'!
I underwent a complex kidney transplant under Dr. Kanakaraj at MIOT. From pre-op counseling to post-surgery recovery, his precision was remarkable. He personally monitored my immunosuppressant levels daily, and I’ve had zero rejection episodes in 2 years. A lifesaver in the truest sense.
Came for a follow-up after my dialysis catheter placement. Dr. Kanakaraj remembered minute details from my last visit 6 months ago, even asked about my granddaughter’s graduation! His follow-ups aren’t just clinical; he makes you feel like family.
My 82-year-old father was rushed to MIOT with acute kidney injury after a severe UTI. Dr. Kanakaraj A. not only stabilized him within hours but explained everything with such patience to our anxious family. His bedside manner is exceptional, he even called at midnight to check on his creatinine levels. We're forever grateful.
