The surgery was a breeze and the recovery wasn’t that bad at all under his guidance. His team was available for quick answers to all my concerns. I need my other knee replaced and I feel I’m in excellent hands with Dr. Ramkumar. I can’t recommend him enough. A.

Ramkumar, MD, MBA > Dr. Ramkumar consulted with me about my hip over several months. He is a good and patient listener and was very responsive to my questions. We considered the pros and cons of resurfacing vs full hip replacement and decided that for me full hip replacement would be best. The surgery went well and his pain management regimen and recommended therapy both made my recovery quick and thorough. I’m very happy with my new hip and would recommend him to anyone experiencing trouble with a hip. Thanks, Dr. Ramkumar! B.

Ramkumar, MD, MBA > I would recommend Dr Ramkumar 100 out of 100 times without hesitation. This was my 2nd ACL reconstruction. My first was 9 years ago on my other knee with a different ortho. I was expecting a tougher, more painful and longer recovery now at the age of 35 than my first one at 26 and I was pleasantly surprised at how wrong I was. > > This time around, pain has hardly been an issue and I’m back on my feet much faster. Dr Ramkumar and has team are there to answer any questions and most of the time the info can be found on his website. He’s very clear on what he needs you to do in your first days and weeks post surgery and I believe it played a massive role in getting me off crutches in only 2 weeks. > > I have already recommended a neighbor to him and won’t hesitate again if anyone else asks.

Ramkumar, MD, MBA > My name is Ana Vega I don’t usually write reviews, but this one is deeply personal and well deserved. This is your sign. I was in so much pain before my surgery walking, sleeping, and even daily activities became a struggle. When I finally met Dr Ramkumar, I immediately felt hope. He went to Harvard, and you can tell from the moment he speaks that he’s not only brilliant but also incredibly compassionate and grounded. He took the time to listen, explain every detail, and make sure I felt comfortable and informed. When it came time for surgery, he repaired both of my meniscus with absolute precision and care. The results were beyond what I ever expected I truly feel like I got my life back. His patience, professionalism, and dedication to his patients are unmatched. What stood out most was how genuine he is. He doesn’t just treat your condition he treats you as a whole person. Every follow-up visit was handled with kindness and attention, and I always felt like I was in the best possible hands. If you’re ever in need of an orthopedic surgeon, I can’t recommend Dr. Ramkumar enough. He’s a true expert at what he does and a doctor who truly cares about the people he helps. I’m beyond grateful for everything he’s done for me he’s the reason I’m pain-free and back to doing what I love. A.

Ramkumar, MD, MBA > Dr. Ramkumar completely relieved my left hip pain—something I’d struggled with for several years. I’ve always been active, having played field hockey and tennis in my younger days, but the pain eventually became so severe that I could barely walk a couple of blocks. I was diagnosed with a left hip impingement and labral tear, and underwent surgery with Dr. Ramkumar. > > Now, five weeks post-op, I’m walking pain-free and steadily regaining my strength. From the initial consultations to the surgery, physical therapy, and follow-up visits, every step of the process was seamless. Dr. Ramkumar’s expertise, compassion, and genuine passion for helping patients made all the difference. > > I’m deeply grateful to Dr. Ramkumar and his team.

From the start he was incredibly personable and made me feel like I could trust him completely. He took the time to answer every question I had and was always quick to respond whenever I reached out.

From the very first consultation, I was impressed by Dr. Ramkumar's great bedside manner, he is professional, kind and genuinely caring. He took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure all my questions were answered, which gave me complete confidence going into surgery. The surgery center was top-notch, clean, well organized and efficient. Every staff member I interacted with was not only, highly competent but also warm and welcoming. Another huge plus is that physical therapy is offered on-site. The PT team is just as amazing. They are knowledgeable, attentive and incredible supportive throughout the recovery process. Having everything under one roof made the entire process from surgery to rehab seamless and stress-free. I can't recommend Dr. Ramkumar and his team enough.

Ramkumar, MD, MBA > Today I’m celebrating the 14th day since my anterior Total Hip Replacement with Dr Ramkumar! My recovery has vastly exceeded what I had hoped for in this short time. I thank Dr Ramkumar for his excellent surgical skills & abilities, but also, for preparing me in the months pre-surgery through his excellent educational website which guided me each step of the way. As the surgery approached, any questions I had were answered quickly by email through Stephanie and Margo. My appointments with Dr Ramkumar were never rushed, he is very approachable! All my questions for him were answered in a way I could easily understand, even though they were regarding complex robotic surgery. I’m 67 years old & my world had become very narrow & restricted due to the often debilitating pain & range of motion which prevented me from even simple walks with my pup. It was a bad place to be, but each day of my recovery this 2nd week has opened my world back up to where I can once again see myself having new adventures, social activities & hobbies! As for the pain, I didn’t need narcotic pain medication past the 2nd day post-surgery. My pain is simply managed by Tylenol & is really nothing compared to the pain before surgery! I was released from the walker last week & today my PT allowed me to walk around inside the house without my cane! Thank you Dr Ramkumar! I would highly recommend him, especially to anyone who is interested in having an active part in their hip replacement journey! K.

The procedure was minimally invasive so the recovery time was only weeks. Within 6 weeks I was walking & hiking all over London without any pain or discomfort.

From my very first visit, he was straightforward, transparent, and took the time to explain my options while answering all my questions. I had surgery in February this year, and he made it clear that while he would do everything he could on his end, the real work would be up to me. Pre-op and post-op, Dr. Ramkumar provided a detailed plan to set me up for the best recovery possible. My healing journey has been challenging but very rewarding, and I’m grateful for his guidance every step of the way. The bottom line; if you put in the work, Dr. Ramkumar will be there to support you and answer any questions you have. I highly recommend him to anyone, regardless of your level of athleticism. N.

Ramkumar, MD, MBA > First and foremost I would like to give a huge thanks to Dr. Prem N. Ramkumar for the successful operation on my knee (3 procedures in 1 operation; reconstruction of the ACL, L.E.T. procedure and meniscus repair). Starting from the initial visits til the final follow up, he made me feel comfortable and welcomed. Dr. Ramkumar presents himself confidently as the discussions with him were very thorough and the explanations were clear whenever I had questions for him, from that I built an immediate trust and confidence that I was going to be in good hands. His PostOp Protocol is explained in detail and critical to follow. I was a bit fearful of beginning to train on bending the knee, as instructed, because of the pain just days after surgery, but he gave me a piece of mind and reassured that it is part of the process. With discipline and determination I progressed positively well during my rehab. Again thank you Dr. Ramkumar for your expertise and critical services on bringing me back to the field and enjoying the sport that I love, soccer. M.

All have been efficient, professional, accessible and friendly. > As for Dr. Ramkumar, he also displays all those traits. In my research I have received consistently positive opinions regarding his skill level and pre/post care. In addition, I was pleased to note that his treatment options for me were not limited to mandatory surgery. He was open to exploring additional strategies (non-surgical) that worked best with my condition and life situation. I appreciated knowing all my choices and their impact on my wellbeing. I look forward to my continued care with Dr. Ramkumar. > > HIP REPLACEMENT UPDATE: > Today is week 12 since my surgery! I am thrilled to say that I am now able to do so many activities from my long-ago-pain-free-lifestyle. I had major limitations the past few years. All my decisions were based on how much walking, how long sitting, available parking options, walking-cane accessibility as well as energy endurance. I had to curtail my dancing and exercise classes as well modify my home and social activities to accommodate these limitations. > Now, I have resumed most of my activities. I can walk, shop, exercise, garden and salsa. (Zumba is my ultimate goal!) > I no longer have to strategize - I just say Yes and Go! > > I have grown to appreciate Dr. Ramkumar more and more each step of my procedure and ongoing recovery. He is always available, consistently proactive, approachable and empathetic. He, as well as his AMAZING team, have stood beside me through this entire process and I’m confident they will continue to do so. I feel secure to be honest and know that all of them will take my concerns seriously and treat me respectfully. > > Dr. Ramkumar, Ishan, Margo and Stephanie are the best team.

Ramkumar, MD, MBA > I can’t praise Dr Ramkumar enough. In the middle of April I injured my right knee. Once I had an mri and a confirmed rupture of almost every ligament in my knee and some meniscus damage I knew I had a long road ahead. I was referred to Dr Ramkumar by a local urgent care and was able to get an appointment the following week. After doing some research on my particular injuries, MCL, ACL, PCL, Menisci damage I knew I needed someone who had the knowledge and the skills to successfully repair my knee. I did have some apprehension just knowing how complex the repair could be, but after meeting Dr Ramkumar and discussing the case and the plan of care I felt so much better. Dr Ramkumar explained my injuries thoroughly and also discussed how he planned to repair the joint, including harvesting some patella tendon, installing some aftermarket tendons, and even a full internal MCL bracing, I knew he was building my knee out like I played for the LA Rams. He developed a full rehabilitation protocol for my multiligamentous repair, and provided me with enough time to heal and get back to activity. Dr Ramkumar has a great attitude and always makes you feel as if you’re the only patient he has to see that day. He takes the time to have that conversation with you and ensure understanding. I couldn’t be happier with my new knee and I highly recommend Dr Ramkumar! L.

His knowledge, precision, and support before and after surgery made a huge difference. > > As of today, just a few months post-op, I’m walking 20,000 steps a day, pain-free - and I’m regularly doing 250 lb squats at the gym.

My left hip surgery was extremely successful and I was up walking the same day as the surgery and slowly progressed to walking unassisted 1-2 miles daily outside my home in just the first two weeks. Plus, much to my surprise, Dr. Ramkumar visited me in my hospital room in the evening no doubt after a very long day of multiple surgeries to check in and see how I was doing. Additionally, there were no complications during the surgery or during recovery! > I especially appreciated his excellent information on pre and post surgery exercises to help with the recovery process along with a detailed daily pain medication schedule for the first week post surgery. > Dr. Ramkumar is highly educated and very knowledgeable about both hips and knees and truly accomplished as an orthopedic specialist surgeon in these areas. > Dr. Ramkumar is competent, capable, caring, personable, has a good sense of humor, is willing to listen and answer my endless questions, and I believe he truly tries to find the optimal solutions for his patients. > If you're looking for a surgeon to perform a direct anterior total hip replacement then make an appointment with Dr. Ramkumar.

That connection is a bonus! but the real blessing was how well my husband’s hip surgery went. His recovery has been smooth, he doesn’t need physical therapy, and he’s healing great! > > What really blew us away was the level of care. At my husband’s post-op appointment, Dr. Ram told us that he had actually been thinking about my husband while laying in bed one night after a long day of surgeries. He emailed Stephanie late that night to get him in sooner—and even personally emailed me at 10 PM to follow up. Who does that? That’s next-level care. > > The surgery was moved 15 days sooner than originally scheduled, and we had to get all the paperwork and pre-op done within 24 hours—and Stephanie made it happen!
