Testimonials

"My brother, age 60-years, was suffering from epilepsy since childhood and was on multiple medications. Over the years, he developed severe depression affecting his day-to-day life. We consulted several specialized doctors in the city who would continue adding more medications with very little clinical improvement. Being a surgeon myself, I was getting extremely frustrated with the deteriorating condition of my brother. In early 2020, a chance meeting with Dr. Ramnarayan, a renowned Consultant Restorative / Functional Neurosurgeon, practicing in Chennai proved to be a game-changer. In the very first meeting, I was impressed with the tremendous work he is doing in this ‘rare and highly specialized field’ with extremely favourable outcomes. I did not think twice before subjecting my brother to ‘Vagal Nerve Stimulation’ surgery advised by him. Within few weeks of surgery, there was significant improvement in his clinical condition; the medications have been reduced, the frequency of seizures had come down, and so has the depression been controlled to a large extent. I can’t thank Dr. Ramnarayan enough for this outcome, and what stands out are his humble nature, ready smile and dexterous hands. At the end of the day, it is his work which speaks! Wishing him the very best to continue the good work and make significant difference o many lives who are silently suffering from mental health issues. Thanks a Ton, Dr. Ramnarayan! "
