He is very good nephrologist. The way he gives advice to the problem by not mentioning it as a big problem is unique. He advices how to have a perfect life style to have kidneys safe. He thoroughly checks every medicine written by him to the …patient if that is better drug or any other more better medicine is there that can be given in not having contradiction to the other medicine prescribed by any other doctors for other cause. He manages the doses if the medicines are too many.
On the whole he is complete package also as he looks into all the problems and hears to the patient very patiently .

Friendly, Knowledgeable, Very responsive Professional is how I would summarize Dr. Arun Ponna
I can’t thank Dr. Arun enough for saving and restoring health of a loved one. Christmas of 2022 was the unfortunate day my father experienced kidney’s failure and was in hospital care for 5 straight weeks. … I was fortunate to have received a reference of Dr. Arun Ponna from a family friend and we transferred my father to Yashoda hospitals, Somajiguda branch. Starting with detailed analysis of patient’s prolonged health history, analyzing every symptom, tests to verify and treat my dad’s true root cause and not just symptoms has led him recover from daily dialysis sessions -> Every other day -> Twice a week -> Weekly -> As needed -> NO DIALYSIS. Dr. Arun was always positive, and attentive (even visiting every dialysis session) to monitor progress and willing to spend time talking and providing confidence of recovery to patient and family. We had very long 5 weeks to recovery but never once missed a Nephrologist’s care in our stay & visits of Yashoda hospital.
In short, Dr. Arun gave our family a gift of a loved one’s health and I wouldn’t hesitate to put myself or anyone I know in his care in a blink of an eye.

I am S Ramesh, Retd. Vice President & Managing Director Nava Bharat Projects Ltd., Hyderabad. I got my mother S Vijayalaxmi, 87 years admitted with breathing difficulties in Emergency ward of Yashoda hospital Somajiguda, Hyderabad in Feb 2023. …After initial treatment, she was shifted to ICU under the care of Dr.Arun Kumar Ponna, Nephrologist as she continued to have severe breathing difficulties attributed to Pulmonary Edema in addition to being diabetic and having hyper tension. She was in critical condition for almost 5 days but recovered miraculously due to expert treatment and care taken by Dr.Arun. He treated her like a mother and due to his constant monitoring, effective medicines and encouraging words, my mother recovered well and is back to her normal life now doing her regular chores without much external assistance. During our stay in the hospital, we found Dr.Arun Kumar Ponna to be available always at a call, round the clock, taking care of our complaints with patience, keeping the medicines to the bare minimum and giving instructions to hospital staff making our stay comfortable. Even after discharge, Dr.Arun is in constant touch with us and is monitoring her health continuously. We found him to be warm, cordial, friendly and highly expertised in the field of Nephrology and also in other associated areas, discussing various options with us, explaining use of each medicines used. I strongly recommend Dr.Arun Kumar Ponna for cost effective treatment for kidney related problems. We are thankful to Dr.Arun and deeply indebted to him. S.Ramesh, Retd.

Satishyadav Kurakula
I, the resident of suryapet had been suffering from kidney problem since 1 week and had visited multiple doctors but was of no help. Atlast one of my known cardiologist suggested me to Dr.Arun Ponna. He is a god sent to me.…He is very friendly and respectful.
He takes time for listening to all the problems that are being faced by his patients and explains everything regarding the severity of health condition and treatment options.
He suggested for admission as my creatinine was found to be 11.5. My creatinine was normal few months back. I was immediately started on dialysis, then kidney biopsy was done, and got treatment with medication. I was so touched. Now my creatinine has came back to normal in 2 weeks only with medications, and now im off dialysis. I am very gratefull to him and i want to thank him for his exceptional care.
