Dr.
Umesha
Chowdaiah
-
a
man
with
big
heart
and
golden
hand!!
My
mother
had
been
struggling
from
osteoarthritis
for
quite
long
time(~2009
onwards).
Many
doctors
in
Bangalore
advised
Total
Knee
Replaceent(TKR)
as
a
solution
and
when
hesitated
for
the
same
gave
steroids
and
pain
killers.
She
was
managing
with
pain
killers
and
oil
massages
only..
In
2017,
one
of
our
family
friends
in
Mysore
suggested
Dr.
Umesh
and
told
us
about
the
PRP
(Platelet-rich
plasma)
treatment
he
had
been
providing
to
patients
with
osteoarthritis
in
Mandya
and
Mysore
Region.
We
booked
an
appointment
with
him
and
visited
him
on
a
Saturday.
He
was
very
patient,
listened
to
the
pain
my
mother
explained.
He
did
not
try
to
jump
to
conclusion
but
instead
helped
my
mother
understand
what
she
is
going
through.
He
explained
about
the
stages
of
osteoarthritis
and
helped
us
understand
where
my
mother
stood.
He
explained
why
TKR
is
best
for
her
but
did
not
really
force
upon
it.
He
explained
about
PRP,
the
process
of
paltelet
extraction
and
treated
her
with
the
same.
My
mother
was
able
to
manage
daily
activities
without
pain
for
7
months.
The
cost
was
very
much
optimised
(Rs
6,000.00/-
in
2017.
Rs
10,000.00/-
in
Apr
2023)
The
doctor
gave
sufficient
time(nearly
5
years)
for
my
mother
to
make
a
decision
to
undergo
TKR.
Until
then
she
managed
with
multiple
PRP
treatment
sessions
from
the
doctor.
In
February
2023,
we
went
for
TKR
of
one
leg
in
Clearmedi
Radiant
Hospital
Mysore
(recommended
by
the
doctor).
The
doctor
even
in
his
busy
schedule,
plans
the
surgery
and
recovery
process
for
his
patients
very
well.
He
keeps
the
patients
care-takers
updated
on
the
needed
facts
and
never
lets
them
panic!
Even
after
the
surgery
and
discharge,
Dr.
Umesh
regularly
follows
up
on
the
patient
health
until
he
feels
confident
about
the
patient.
Its
something
very
rare
in
this
fast
paced
world!
Like
all
the
experts,
Dr.
Umesh
is
very
much
updated
in
his
area
of
expertise.
Publishes
and
presents
papers
in
highly
recognised
forums.
A
Big
Thank
you
to
Dr.
Umesh
and
his
team!!
