Dr. Ayyappan Nair is one the best shoulder surgeons in India and for me he is the best I ever met. I've consulted him for my son's shoulder surgery after researching thoroughly and consulted many across India and UAE, also sought opinions of my friends and relatives in the field of ortho and physio. He has been excellent in understanding the scenario and his professional approach on resolving. My son has recovered fully and very active in gym/ sport activities. Our best wishes to Dr. Ayyappan Nair.
I had my left shoulder surgery on 15th May 2024. It was a family visit to Bangalore,from Delhi , but my chronic shoulder pain flared up in Bangalore. We visited Dr Ayyappan , who very professionally made me understand my problem... We took his advice and went ahead with the surgery. I am very happy and satisfied with the entire experience. It was a painful journey, no doubt, but was made endurable by the comforting words and sustained guidance as well as the professional touch of Dr. Ayyappan. I am feeling confident and my arm has gained proper strength and movement with proper physiotherapy and rehabilitation programme done at BSI Physiotherapy. I thank Dr. Ayappan for the entire duration of the journey of nearly 4 months of my surgery and Rehabilitation.
