Dr. Hari Kiran Parvataneni, MD

For five years Dr. Parvataneni told me I needed a knee replacement. The constant rubbing/arthritis was thinning my knee cap and it would get worse until I had my knee replaced. Instead, I tried everything to evade the surgery. I tried three stem cell shot therapies at Emory University and at Mayo, personal trainers and physical therapists. I went to every ortho surgeon in town, and some out of town. When I could barely walk into the waiting room for my appointment, I gave up. I could see the writing on the wall and it was in the shape of a wheelchair. Dr. Parvataneni is articulate, funny, and never sugar coats anything. His care for his patients is for the long term. He doesn’t see me as just another patient, but sees what made my case unique. I predict he treats every patient this way. After 15 years of knee pain, I now have no knee pain. I can walk a mall, a guided tour, or a hike without pain. I can swim and bike without pain. I never thought I’d say this but I love my new artificial knee. My only advice to you, is do not wait. Don’t let fear or pride hold you back. Talk to Dr. P, and other surgeons; whatever it takes to move you to the next chapter of your life. You’ll never regret it. Sally Muller

a 5 Star experience --Dr Parvataneni was as nice , Professional , friendly and thorough as can be !

Just had knee replacement surgery performed yesterday. I walked at least 100 feet twice yesterday afterwards and have had very little pain or discomfort. So very thankful to have found Dr. Parvataneni!!! He is the best surgeon ever!!!
