      Highly Recommend KPJ Ipoh Orthopedic Specialist Dr. Shankar – Excellent Robotic Total Knee Replacement Care Dr. Shankar did an outstanding job performing robotic total knee replacement surgery for my father Mr Cheong. What impressed us most was his exceptional responsibility and dedication even after the operation. He checked on my father just 4 hours post‑op, visited again the next day, and personally taught him proper post‑surgery exercises to ensure good recovery. He continued to follow up closely, monitoring his condition and guiding him daily with the exercises. His care was attentive, caring, and thorough throughout the whole recovery process. We truly appreciate Dr. Shankar’s professionalism, as well as the friendly, helpful support from his entire team. We highly recommend Dr. Shankar to anyone needing orthopedic care or knee replacement surgery.

      A huge thank you to Dr. Sankar for performing a very successful Total Knee Replacement (TKR) on my father. The follow up before and after surgery has been outstanding, and he constantly checked on my father’s well‑being. Amazingly, my father could stand up and walk just more than three hours post‑surgery. Dr. Sankar patiently taught him the required rehabilitation exercises. We truly appreciate his professionalism and genuine care for patients.

      I underwent ACL surgery (ACL reconstruction/repair) with Dr. Sankar and am very satisfied with the overall experience. Dr. Sankar clearly explained the condition of my injury and the surgical procedure, which made me feel more confident and at ease before the surgery. Throughout the recovery process, he consistently provided guidance and ensured my progress was well-monitored. The surgical outcome is very satisfactory, and my knee is becoming more stable with ongoing physiotherapy. Thank you, Dr. Sankar and the entire team, for your professional, friendly, and caring service. Highly recommended to anyone needing ACL injury treatment at Ipoh Specialist Hospital.

      Patient Dr Sankar Pillay. My father is showing very good progress after his knee operation. He was able to walk as early as 24 hours post-operation using a quad cane. After 5 days post-operation, he could walk with a single-point cane. Thank you, Doctor.
