I have been very impressed by the overall care and knowledge of Mr Karruppaiah during my treatment. He has a positive,understanding attitude and I would not hesitate to return again in the future should I need further treatment. I would highly recommend him to family and friends if they were ever in need of surgery or medical care.

This was totally extraordinary experience for me. Dr Mrs.Karuppaiah took a great care and paid attention to every little detail. He made sure he understand my situation and helped me to made right decisions all the way through my healing journey. Carefully chosen steps and some covid related cancellation of my surgery has lead me to the stage where right before surgery of my clavicule bone, right when he was double checking my fracture ... thanks to his patient pre- surgery chekup he realised the surgery is not needed anymore. Tha mastery of medicine - he helped me heal the bone fracture without any surgery and no metal particles in my body. I was totally blessed to have him as a doctor, careful, listening, caring specialist and such a kind and calming human being. No words can describe how much I thank him for all his precious work and approach.

Mr Karuppaiah is such a dedicated, responsible orthopaedic surgeon and most importantly a professional in his field. I was urgently referred with 4 weeks old complex radial head and neck fracture and was really pleased to hear that fixing the fractured bones by using plate and combination of screws was the best option for me. I’m 44yrs old family man and work physically so the fixation was the only chance to get me back to normal life. I was fully informed about the risk and procedures and 3 days later Mr Karuppaiah and his team performed the 2hour surgery. I am only 2 months after that successful surgery with bones completely healed and almost full range of movement back. Even the scar is hardly visible. I can highly recommend Mr Karuppaiah as he is an excellent surgeon and very pleasant person for whom patient isn’t just another number but a human being. Well done Kings College Hospital for having such a skilled person on board.

Mr Karuppaiah saw and treated me for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome on my right hand, performing open release surgery to treat the issue. He has been extremely considerate and informative throughout, answering any questions and presenting non-surgical options as well before we agreed on the surgery. I am pleased to say that my surgery went extremely well. The procedure itself took 20 minutes and within a week I was back to being able to use my hand for basic tasks. Within three weeks I can confirm that all prior carpal tunnel symptoms are complete gone and I no longer have any numbness in my fingers. The scar is healing extremely well and is actually quite small, all things considered. In short, I would highly recommend Mr. Karuppaiah.
