Patient Testimonials

Hear from patients

I took my 79 year old mom to Promed Hospital when she suffered from a fall and Dr. Aravindan was the ortho specialist who treated her. He is so friendly and has given her so much confidence that has really helped her heal and get better. He has patiently answered all her queries and has been so very responsive to all her messages and calls. His total involvement, thorough professionalism and infectious positive attitude has won her trust and confidence. He is her favourite doctor now. I highly recommend him.

Treatment for: Fracture Treatment
My consultation with Dr. Aravind was very good. He was extremely polite and patient. He took the time to explain my condition to me and was very reassuring while doing the same. I also found him to being a very positive person. Overall our experience was very good and we would most certainly recommend him to all our family and friends.
Meenakshi Kutty
Dr Aravindan was excellent overall in all aspects. He was very clear in making and communicating the diagnosis and the course of treatment. I was hesitant about a surgery (for Right Patella fracture), but he was able to explain with the help of my X-rays. He ensured all the pre-operation checks were completed quickly and surgery scheduled. Post-surgery, my rehab physio started quickly and dressings changed timely. The physiotherapist who saw my post-surgery X-rays spontaneously commented that it was an excellent job — tension band wiring. I am recovering fast. A big thank you to PROMED hospital and their efficient team. And a special thank you to my orthopaedic surgeon, Dr Aravindan.

Before I met him I really don't know what I am actually suffering from! But I could feel there was a mild swelling in the back of the head all of a sudden and which was painful. He diagnosed and I am surprised that he found what my problem is and what I'm actually suffering. The way he conveyed it was in a positive way and made me comfortable that I shouldn't be panicked. He is super cool and very patient in handling his patients. Suggestible Doctor to get treated soon for your issues!
