My father is totally satisfied with his knee replacement by Dr mohan puttaswamy done late last year. He not only replaced knee but also has straightend bow ... legs. It was embarrassing and as a retired professional, his gait looked funny to him. After knees replacement now he can walk easily without pain and discomfort and can climb stairs upto 2 floors. Standing next to me he almost looks like he have grown by 2 inches after surgery.

I am very grateful to Dr. Mohan K Puttaswamy for his expertise, patience, and kindness towards my dad during his hip replacement surgery. Not only was he knowledgeable ... but he was also patient-friendly and made my dad feel comfortable before and after the procedure. Now, my dad is able to walk and do his daily activities without any assistance, and I am thankful to Dr. Mohan K Puttaswamy for his help.

My Mother-in-law was feeling difficult to walk and pain in the knee. She has been suffering from ages( more than 8 years) but she always had this fear about surgery. ... Then we had consultation with Dr.Mohan puttaswamy in his clinic. The first impression was his calm demeanor and my MIL, usually a tension kind of person- felt comfortable. One of our relatives talked about him and suggested to give a try and when we went for consultation. December last year he performed her knee replacement surgery and one thing my MIL remembers most of the time is that even when she was getting surgery done the doctor was explaining to his students about the surgery and was performing. She feels that he is a good teacher for his students. His voice is registered in her mind. We were prepared for both her knee surgery but one thing which stood out about this man was he informed that the risk for both knees was higher in my MIL given her medical problems and performed one knee surgery. She is due for her other knee and he had actually informed that after the first knee her other bad knee will start feeling better and she might postpone the second knee for a few years. That clarity of thought actually has come true and my MIL feels that she can wait for a few more years with the confidence that Dr.Mohan will take care of her. We would highly recommend this surgeon. He seems knowledgeable. We had done google search on him and there were so many publications on google scholar on knee replacement and training from America. More than all that, we liked him as a person.

My mother was differing from knee pain for more than 6 years. She was scared of surgery because of one of her sister didn't have such a good result after knee replacement. ... She found walking or standing painful on an everyday basis which is when we consulted Dr mohan puttaswamy. He patiently heard my mother's fears and the best thing was-he was very realistic. He never promised extra ordinary results. One of the thing which made my mother scared was her sister's doctor had informed that it will be like a walk in the park and a breezy recovery but her experience was just the opposite. But Dr. Mohan suggested joint replacement surgery, explained that it is a good surgery but will have some pain and comforted my mother saying that it will improve her quality of life and explained in detail regarding the risks and benefits. Three months after the surgery, my mom is able to walk, climb stairs and do most of her activities without help. Honest human being and down to earth, doesn't have airs and doesn't show off, looking at his credentials we expected a very stiff person he surprised us by his simplicity.
We met a few surgeons and one striking thing that helped us to short list Dr. Mohan was his empathy. We are happy that his care has exceeded most of our expectations. Would recommend Dr mohan to anybody seeking knee replacement surgery.

My Friend recently underwent a bilateral total knee replacement surgery under the care of Dr.Mohan Puttaswamy. Dr Mohan was very approachable, friendly and provided a ... great deal of confidence. He goes the extra mile to ensure his patients are well informed and we always feel well cared. At the time of writing this review, my mother is 4 weeks post her surgery and she is fully recovered and can manage her day-to-day chores on her own. We were very fortunate to have gotten his reference for this surgery and would highly recommend all potential patients to leave your worries behind and to visit Dr Mohan Puttaswamy for all their joint related problems. We liked his calm presence, and he leads a good team of assistants and physiotherapists in the hospital. The team work and even billing(in a corporate hospital our fear was we will have to pay many hidden charges, surprisingly at fortis with my insurance I had to pay a very nominal copay). Overall, I can recognize why he is such a popular and busy doctor.

Dr. Mohan Puttaswamy is highly skilled doctor and has an amazing, well-coordinated, caring team. He operated on my mother’s knees and she is extremely happy with the ... outcome. From the time of first visit at IORI clinic and even at fortis we were assigned to a single point of contact who helped with insurance, in patient team coordination and even discharge. Dr.Mohan puttaswamy is pretty busy he is available most of the time to handle issues in person and even more he has an extraordinary team especially his junior team of residents and registrars who took care even when he was off to a conference. They are caring, down to earth and helpful. I need to mention the physiotherapy team at Fortis hospital who attended to my mother twice a day and made sure that she was able to sit on the commode, how to get up from the toilet seat and use walker when walking around. The overall experience of joint replacement surgery under Dr.Puttaswamy’s care was excellent and we are eternally grateful to Dr.Mohan and his team for such a miraculous job on my mother.

My father broke his right hip joint during his usual morning exercise. Unfortunately it turned out that surgery was the only option. Dr.Mohan had treated a friends mother for ... her knee replacement and through his reference we reached out to him. He reviewed the X rays in his IORI clinic and asked to take my father directly to fortis hospital. We were worried due to his age and his parkinsonism about the possible outcome. He explained to us about the risk of hip dislocation and also a brief explanation about the way hip works and advised dual mobility hip replacement as the ideal solution for his fracture. We reached fortis and except for small inconvenience regarding paper work and some delays the experience was very good. Dr.Mohan handled my father very well and we should also thank Dr.Patil and anesthesia team at fortis hospital for an excellent support.

We as a family are eternally grateful to Dr.Puttaswamy. He operated my sister’s knee with partial knee replacement. The surgery went excellently well. She started ... walking from next day onwards and at the age of 54 years she has recovered remarkable well. She now climbs stairs and even sits down to her evening bhajans with ease. She struggled for years with knee pain but now she has really turned around. Her personality has blossomed thanks to the relief of pain in her knees. Fortis hospital was excellent in their approach to the surgery and they made our life comfortable. Thanks again Dr.Puttaswamy and his entire clinical team

I want to express my extreme happiness and satisfaction with Dr.Mohan Puttaswamy. He has turned out to be an angel in our life. My brother contracted covid and was ... treated with steroids for a few days after which he was diagnosed with AVN of the hips. This came as a shock because we didn’t expect this to happen at a relatively young age. My brother met so many doctors with different opinions. Some suggested that he needs an immediate hip replacement and a few doctors informed not to do anything and just take pain killers. We did our fair bit of research and after all the efforts we were more confused than where we began. Finally, after a reference from a friend I decided to meet the doctor with the MRI reports. My first impression was not so great- the doctor was extremely busy and so many patients were waiting for him at fortis hospital in Bannerghatta Road. He came in his surgery dress and when he realized the patient was not there- he told that he will discuss when the patient is there and within a few minutes the discussion was over. I went home disappointed, but my brother insisted to meet the doctor once as we wanted to make a decision regarding surgery. We decided to meet Dr.Mohan at his clinic at Hebbal. This was an entirely different experience. He was so patient with my brother explained every detail about AVN of the hips, problems, and limitations of treatment. Basically, we understood why he was suggesting core decompression and not hip replacement now. He clearly suggested that native hip is any day better than a replaced hip and in lay man’s terms even explained this to our mother(She was worried about him as we were searching for a girl for his marriage). It has been six months since my brothers surgery and his hip pain has reduced.

I had the pleasure of being treated by Dr. Mohan puttaswamy and I am extremely impressed with his level of care and attention. He is incredibly knowledgeable ... in joint replacement and patiently explained all the steps from time of admission, surgery to recovery. His interaction are always like a family member and has a very personal connection. We felt comforted and taken care. He has a good team. Even at his IORI clinic the staff were helpful and the staff at Cunningham Fortis require a special thanks. His treatment has already made a big change in my ability to walk and I highly recommend him to anybody looking for hip replacement. There were some delays in insurance paper work and really small stuff but for such a life changing procedure those small problems never bothered us

Dr.Mohan KP did my mothers knee replacement using robotic surgery. She has done extraordinarily well after the surgery. She is climbing steps in 3 weeks and also ... able to bend knee to 100 degrees already in 3 weeks. She is having a bit of pain after surgery, but I can vouch for the fact that her bend and deformity in her knee is all gone. She is walking straight and my father is also very happy that we chose this doctor because he speaks fluent tamil and explained all the details in tamil. My father wanted to listen all answers in tamil and I was thinking of translating all the answers and this doctor made my life so much better by starting off in tamil the moment he heard us speaking tamil. Very approachable, personable and sensible doctor and human being. May such doctors increase in numbers.

Dr.Mohan has been the doctor whom we have approached for a lot of problems in our family. My grandmother is a difficult person to handle. She can be cranky and ... attention seeking at times and many doctors have spoken to her and asked her to keep quiet and listen. There is something magical about Dr.Mohan where he also tells the same things but makes it sound very sweet and unassuming. He has a remarkable personality to make it happen and that is why we are so comfortable with him. In fact my grandmother fell down in chitradurga in her native and broke her wrist but made my uncle drive all the way to bangalore to get treated from this doctor only. He has really impressed my grandmother and he is her favourite doctor.

Dr. Mohan is totally knowledgeable on his subject. He makes you understand the medical terminology in common man’s language. Always approachable and down ... to earth doctor. Makes you feel at home. The whole process of TKR (left leg) for my dad who is 80 year old was so smooth, both at the clinic facility in Kempapura and fortis. It’s been 4 months now and dad has recovered so well. Soon looking forward for TKR for the right leg too. Would always recommend Dr. Mohan Puttaswamy for any orthopaedic issues.

My father recently had a knee replacement at this clinic , and I am extremely pleased with the entire experience. From the first consultation to the post-surgery follow-ups, with ... DR Mohan K Puttaswamy and the clinic staff have been professional, attentive, and caring.
I highly recommend this clinic and the doctor for anyone considering knee replacement surgery. Their expertise and compassionate care made a challenging experience much easier and more successful.
