Dr. S Velmurugan Reviews
Patient Experience
My 82-year-old mother fractured her hip in a fall, and Dr. Velmurugan performed a delicate hip replacement at Sims Hospital. His calm demeanor and clear explanations eased our family's anxiety. Six weeks post-surgery, she's walking with a walker, something we never thought possible at her age!
Brought my 8-year-old son in with a suspected broken wrist from skateboarding. Dr. Velmurugan was fantastic with kids, used simple analogies about 'Lego blocks' to explain the fracture. The casting process was quick, and he even drew a smiley face on the cast!
Emergency case: I dislocated my shoulder during a cricket match. Dr. Velmurugan reduced it in the ER with incredible skill, minimal pain and instant relief. His aftercare instructions were precise, and follow-up showed no complications.
Routine checkup for chronic knee arthritis turned into a life-changing moment. Dr. Velmurugan noticed subtle gait changes others missed and recommended targeted physiotherapy instead of jumping to surgery. My mobility has improved 70% in three months!
Complex spinal fusion surgery for my scoliosis, Dr. Velmurugan spent two hours pre-op explaining the 3D model of my spine. The surgery itself was flawless; I regained 3 inches of height and zero nerve damage. His team at Sims Hospital was exemplary.
Follow-up visit after ACL reconstruction: Dr. Velmurugan remembered specific details about my recovery goals (I’m a dancer) and adjusted rehab protocols accordingly. His personalized approach makes you feel like more than just a chart number.
My father’s rotator cuff tear was deemed inoperable by two other surgeons. Dr. Velmurugan reviewed the MRI and proposed an innovative arthroscopic technique. Dad now has full range of motion, we call him 'Miracle Worker Velmurugan'!
Pediatric case: My daughter’s rare limb length discrepancy had us terrified. Dr. Velmurugan designed a gradual correction plan using external fixation. His patience explaining each adjustment to a 10-year-old was heartwarming. She calls him 'Leg Doctor Superman'.
Walked in with what I thought was a simple sprain; turned out to be a stress fracture. Dr. Velmurugan’s diagnostic acumen saved me from worsening it. His dry humor ('Your marathon can wait!') made the bad news easier to swallow.
Post-hip replacement follow-up: Dr. Velmurugan spotted early signs of infection during a routine check and initiated treatment immediately. His vigilance prevented a catastrophe, eternally grateful for his attention to detail.
Complex pelvic fracture from a car accident, multiple surgeons consulted, but Dr. Velmurugan’s approach using custom 3D-printed guides for surgery was groundbreaking. I’m walking without a limp nine months later.
Elderly patient with severe osteoporosis: Dr. Velmurugan coordinated with nutritionists and endocrinologists for holistic care. His comprehensive approach to bone health beyond just orthopedics is remarkable.
Brought my teenage son with Osgood-Schlatter disease. Instead of dismissing it as 'growing pains,' Dr. Velmurugan designed a non-invasive management plan with activity modification. No more missed soccer games!
Rare case of avascular necrosis in my hip: Dr. Velmurugan explained all options from core decompression to replacement without pushing surgery. His honesty about pros/cons helped me make an informed choice.
Follow-up for a previously botched knee surgery (done elsewhere): Dr. Velmurugan performed revision surgery with incredible precision. His humility in acknowledging the prior surgeon’s challenges while fixing them was refreshing.
