We went to see him for the first time in a wheelchair, but for the review after surgery he was able to walk and see the doctor.

Krishna Priya

It has been three months since my daughter Krishnapriya's scoliosis surgery. We found out she had scoliosis when she was 12 years old. When we heard that she needed surgery, we were completely worried. When we heard that it was a major spine surgery, we were afraid that something would happen to our daughter. Many people asked us if we should do this spine surgery. It was a situation where we didn't know what to do. I searched the net about scoliosis. That's when I saw videos of many children after this surgery. That's how I came to know about Dr. Ranjith Unnikrishnan. We came to see the doctor the very next day. The doctor talked to us in detail about scoliosis. It was only after talking to the doctor that we understood the importance of doing this surgery. Our daughter relaxed as soon as the doctor finished talking. He told us many details about the operation that the doctor performed. He gave us the numbers of the children who had undergone the surgery and we talked to them. We went to see the doctor in February. We scheduled the surgery on April 7th. Our daughter had two curves in her spine... When we saw the doctor, we decided that the doctor should do the surgery. But we were tense until the surgery was over. With the help of God and the doctor, the surgery was completed without any complications. Two months later, she started going to school... Today, Dr. Ranjith Unnikrishnan holds a place equal to God in our lives. We will never forget the doctor and his team until the day we die. In our experience, if we see that scoliosis surgery is needed, we should try to do it without any delay.... Thank you very much to Dr. Ranjith Unnikrishnan and his team
