> I was referred to Dr. Prem Ramkumar after a sports injury that left me needing ACL and meniscus surgery on both knees, and I honestly couldn’t be more grateful that I was sent his way.
> 
> From my very first appointment, Dr. Prem and his entire team made me feel like I was in the best hands. I had never been through an injury or recovery like this before, and the thought of having surgery on both knees was overwhelming. Dr. Prem walked me through everything step by step, answered every question I had, and always made sure I understood what to expect. He gave me so much confidence going into both surgeries and throughout my recovery.
> 
> From pre-op, to surgery, to all of my follow-up appointments, I have felt genuinely cared for and supported. Dr. Prem is not only an incredible surgeon, but someone who truly cares about his patients and their recovery. His entire office has been wonderful as well, and that kind of support makes such a difference when you’re going through something this challenging.
> 
> I still have more recovery ahead of me, but I’m so thankful for how far I’ve come and for the care I’ve received along the way. I’m incredibly grateful to Dr. Prem and his entire team and would recommend him without hesitation to anyone dealing with a sports injury or needing orthopedic surgery.

> Dr Prem N Ramkumar is an outstanding surgeon.  I am so grateful for everything he did for me with my knee injury.  He responded to my online request for an appointment immediately and squeezed me into his extremely busy schedule.  He then scheduled me into his surgery schedule which was also extremely full.  He performed an ACL, menisci, hamstring graft surgery on my left knee 11 weeks ago.  He did an amazing job.  It is healing and stronger than ever.  He and his staff have been so supportive, helpful, positive and professional from the beginning.
> I would highly recommend him and his staff for knee surgery.

> I underwent the FAI arthroscopy with Dr. Ramkumar last month and the recovery has been very smooth. The early results have been great with more range of motion and less stiffness compared to before the surgery. The pain was so minimal after the surgery that I had to actively remind myself to follow the rest guidelines and not bear weight on my joint too soon.
> 
> My original symptoms were a lot of hip stiffness and limited hip range of motion. I would also notice intense aching with weight lifting, long distance running, and skiing. I regularly stretched and would see physical therapists but my symptoms remained the same. Dr. Ramkumar did an incredible job of running through my symptoms, physical exam findings, and X-rays to diagnose the FAI and rule out other conditions. His discussion of management principles and what surgery and postop would entail was very helpful and reassuring. Also, knowing that he’s done so much of this type of surgery reassured me that my outcomes would be great and recovery would be smooth. He also has a physical therapy team in his clinic that has a structured routine to help improve the recovery process after surgery.
> 
> I would 100% undergo this surgery with Dr. Ramkumar again and have already scheduled the surgery for my other hip. I would recommend anyone that notices this or similar symptoms to at least schedule a consultation with him to discuss further.

> I’m only 15 days out from my MAKO-assisted total knee replacement, and I’m already very happy with my decision to have Dr. Ramkumar perform my surgery.
> 
> I originally found Dr. Ramkumar while researching the Nano Knee procedure and exploring my options for knee replacement. After learning more and meeting with him, I ultimately chose to work with Dr. Ramkumar and opted for the MAKO-assisted total knee replacement—and I’m so glad I did.
> 
> Dr. Ramkumar really knows his stuff. From the beginning, he was thorough, straightforward, and made sure I understood exactly what to expect before surgery and throughout recovery. He lays everything out for you and provides in depth information through his website so that you can go into the process informed and prepared.
> 
> I’ve been committed to following his directions, taking my medications as scheduled, and doing my physical therapy. I know I’m still very early in the healing process and have more work ahead of me, but at just 15 days post-op, I’m extremely happy with my progress.
> 
> Dr. Ramkumar and his entire team have been knowledgeable, professional, and supportive throughout this experience. A total knee replacement is a big decision, and having confidence in your surgeon and the process makes all the difference. I’m grateful I did my research, grateful I chose Dr. Ramkumar, and very pleased with both the care I’ve received and my recovery so far.

> I was given a referral from my primary care doctor. I absolutely would consider dr. Ramkumar again if another knee injury occurs. The surgery itself was surprisingly not painful at all just sore for obvious reasons. Dr Ramkumar is honestly the best surgeon. I have only high praises for him and also Margo. She is so sweet and is so supportive. She gives helpful advice on what to do after surgery and if you’re struggling with medications or with after surgery care, by emailing her she will get to you with in the day and I love that! Best orthopedic team!

> I was taken by LB Fire to Memorial after falling backward off my paver-covered porch and walkway, sustaining 4 fractures to my femur and making my 2012 hip replacement unstable.  I was seen by the orth trauma team and referred to Dr. Ramkumar.  He came to my room in the hospital, explained what was on the xray and CT scan.  We planned for surgery after  July 4th holiday.  He went over potential benefits, complications, plan of care, etc.
> I was acutely aware that not too many ortho could do the complex repair.
> I had surgery, stayed 3 nights.  Pain managed.  Excellent care from all hospital staff, dept.
> My first post op appt with Dr. Ramkumar was positive, with wound vac and staple removal.  Fracture healing was 2.5 weeks ahead of schedule!  PT to be started in the next week at his office.
> I have to say when I called the office on a Monday morning at 8:01 a.m. to report wound vac battery died, I had a response within 1 minute.  I found out that Dr. Ramkumar responded to me, issue resolved.
> I have positive outlook for my future, as a result.

> 2 weeks ago I fell off my porch and broke my femur in 4 places, and destabilized my 2012 hip replacement.  I was taken by LBFD to LB Memorial and evaluated by the ER doctor, who had referred me to the Orthopedic Trauma team.  They called Dr. Ramkumar, as he was one of very few surgeons that could do such a complex surgery.  I met Dr. Ramkumar in my hospital room, reviewed my xrays.  He discussed potential complications of surgery, and that I had the right to seek other providers.  I decided to continue with him.  We discussed plans for surgery, aftercare, etc.  Because of my meds, holiday scheduleand staffing, surgery was after July 4th.  I was discharged 3 days post surgery, and went home with in home PT.  2 weeks post surgery and my staples are out, wound vac removed, out pt. PT to begin next week.  I have nothing but good to say to this gifted surgeon and his team, in addition to the treatment team at LB  Memorial.

> I had a ACL and MCL replacement. I did a hamstring ligament with the bone marrow and the procedure went very smooth. The office was very professional, very friendly, and so far the recovery has been amazing. I can't recommend these people enough. I had the same surgery done back in 1992. And what a difference and how far technology has come. I would just like to say thank you to the entire staff for making this as pleasant as possible.

> I am 66 years old and played and enjoyed competitive sports my entire life up until 3-4 years ago. My left knee pain was consistently keeping me from enjoying things that contributed to my overall happiness and wellbeing. My wife and I could not longer bicycle or walk together as we always did due to my knee pain. My primary care physician referred me for X-ray and MRI, which resulted in me promptly being diagnosed with severe osteoarthritis of the left knee. I was then referred to Dr. Ramkumar and his team for physical therapy and evaluation. While the physical therapy did not resolve my arthritis, it was a great step in the right direction and I am very thankful to have met Dr. Ramkumar and his entire team. After 10 physical therapy sessions, I decided to proceed with total knee replacement after re-viewing imaging and treatment plans again. Within 10 minutes, he explained that my meniscus was completely torn and the cartilage in my knee was eroded and non-existent! He recommended a total knee replacement and explained in detail the preparation, surgery itself, recovery, and answered any and all questions I had. I was scheduled for surgery and was emailed information including emails of the process. I participated in an online zoom call with a registered nurse, who further explained my surgery and peri-operative recovery extensively. I was very informed about the things i would need like ice packs, medications, and more! My surgery was on 5/26/26 and I was walking the same afternoon and went home the same day which is a blessing. The first night I had difficulty sleeping as I had reluctance taking the prescribed pain medications, but after taking pain mediations the next day, my pain was managed and I slept perfectly. After the second night, I no longer needed any narcotic pain relief. I also began at home physical therapy on day 2 and I worked diligently to get my life back. Working hard paid off big time! After my 2 post-op surgery appointments with Dr. Ramkumar, I was cleared to drive and resume normal activities. It has been less than 2 months since surgery and now I can walk miles at a time, bicycle miles at a time, and swim as long as I desire. Thank you so much to Dr. Ramkumar and his team, everyone of them works cohesively together and answers any and all of my questions and concerns. They helped to make my surgery and recovery seamless and successful. While I hope to never need no additional surgery, Dr. Ramkumar will be my first call if I ever begin having trouble in my right knee and I have no hesitations that he is the perfect man for the job! I have already referred him to my personal friends and would not hesitate to continue referring him to anyone I know. I am back to all activities and excited to have my life back with no pain, as all my expectations from before surgery were exceeded. - R. Stuver.

> I would like to first say, thank you to Dr.Ramkumar for repairing my right knee which had been bothering me for months prior my medical procedure. Im also amazed at how quickly my knee is healing only 2 and a half months after my Meniscus surgery. He's plan of action before and most important after has been amazing. Following his step by step advice as well as physical therapy he arranged made all the difference in the world and I would recommend anyone seeking help and looking for highly experienced Orthopedic advice or treatment from a doctor to go see Dr. Ramkumar. Thank you again doctor to you and your staff for literally getting me back on my feet again and allow my life to steadily get back to normal.

> I owe a lot to Dr. Ramkumar!  I had serious arthritis in my hip and was in constant pain. I did not want to give up the activities that I enjoyed, but one by one, I was doing less of them because of that pain. Dr. Ramkumar explained the whole process of hip replacement thoroughly and I made the decision to do it. This was one of the best decisions I ever made.
> 
> Through information on Dr. Ramkumar’s website, a brochure provided by his staff, and a zoom class every step was explained. When I woke up from surgery the pain in my hip gone. Sure there was surgery pain as expected but that horrible hip pain was completely gone.
> 
> I can’t say enough about how supportive Dr. Ramkumar, his staff, and the physical therapy clinic on site have been. I now walk everyday, do yoga, water aerobics, and just completed a three hour walking tour that I had purchased but had been unable to do as it was too painful. I feel I have been given an incredible opportunity. Thank you Dr. Ramkumar!

In October 2025, Dr Ramkumar preformed my complete knee replacement and did an amazing job. I followed his instructions and worked with his PT team with all the daily exercises. It certainly takes a commitment and patience but in time it all comes together. I'm so thankful to be walking normally again! It's an incredible feeling, I almost forgot what it was like. I'm now able to go places and walk at a good pace and for a long distance with no issues. I feel like I have my life back! I highly recommend Dr Ramkumar he is definitely skilled, my knee is proof!

> After my daughter injured her knee, we spent months being told she just needed rest, but she never fully healed. Once an MRI was finally ordered, we met with a local orthopedic surgeon, but the experience felt rushed and lacked compassion. That’s when I started researching other options and came across Dr. Ramkumar.
> From our very first appointment, we knew we had made the right decision. Dr. Ramkumar was kind, patient, informative, and never once made us feel rushed or pressured into surgery. He took the time to thoroughly explain her ACL and meniscus surgery along with the recovery process, which gave us so much reassurance during a stressful time.
> Her recovery has honestly exceeded anything we expected. She was off crutches at 2 weeks, out of her brace at 4 weeks, and now 4 months post-op she continues to do incredibly well with minimal to no pain. His physical therapy team has also been amazing supportive, patient, and truly invested in her recovery.
> We gladly make the almost 3-hour commutes because Dr. Ramkumar and his entire team have been the perfect fit for my daughter. We are beyond grateful for the care, encouragement, and support they have given her throughout this journey.

> I highly recommend Dr. Ramkumar as my husband had an excellent experience.  The level of professionalism, knowledge, and personal attention was outstanding. Dr. Ramkumar took the time to listen carefully explain everything clearly and made us feel comfortable and confident throughout the process.  The staff was also kind, efficient, and caring.  It is rare to find a doctor who combines such expertise with genuine compassion.  We are very grateful for the excellent care received.  We would highly recommend this practice to anyone needing expert orthopedic knee care.

> Dr. Ramkumar is so awesome! From the beginning of my diagnoses, he was very transparent with me about my options and how full hip replacement would look for me. I was extremely afraid as this was my first surgery, but Dr. Ramkumar wasn’t pushy. He met me with factual information, images, and humor (especially when I was in tears). My full hip replacement as a 33 year old woman, was not only very neat, clean, and seamless, but it restored my self-esteem and ability to move the way that I’m used to. I have absolutely no complaints! I’m so glad I went with a second opinion, which is how I met Dr. Ramkumar. As a former athlete, I needed someone who has expertise in understanding the many facets of my range of motion and what I expected after surgery (to return to a semi-active lifestyle) that includes attention to diet and holistic options. Thank you so much for your precision, attention to detail, and knowledge. I couldn’t have chosen a better surgeon nor team!

> I'm 3-months post-op from my meniscus repair done by Dr. Ramkumar and I'm super happy with the outcome. As a 66-year old mountain biker, golfer and pickleball player, I really appreciate his approach focusing on repair first vs automatically shaving or removing the meniscus, since repair helps slow the onset of osteo arthritis and will help extend my athletic life. The pre-op visits with Dr. Ramkumar were great! I never felt rushed, he took time to answer all my questions and discuss options. He's friendly and easy going with a great sense of humor which helped me feel alot less nervous about the surgery and recovery process. 5 stars for Dr. Ramkumar and his team!

> Bilateral partial knee replacement surgery on Feb 10, 2026, walking almost immediately and back road cycling 8 weeks later. The recovery has been very consistent and fast. I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Ramkumar and his team. The procedure and recovery feels like a paradigm shift in this field.
