They have an excellent team at the doctors office especially Justin Ford. I was impressed when Justin called me Friday evening at 5:30 PM to make sure that my high potassium is treated on time.

I've been driving to Birmingham for my Kidney problems until a friend recommended Dr. Chellamuthu. It was one of the best decisions I've made in the last few years. I used to spend the whole day at my doctors' office in BHM but the whole appointment here takes less than an hour. The office staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. Dr. Chellamuthu is very personable, listens to you, takes time to answer all your questions. My score is 100/100

If you are looking for a knowledgeable and a caring physician, then Dr. Chellamuthu is the doctor. I live in Birmingham but always take my Mom who lives in Gadsden to Dr. Chellamuthu because he really cares, listens to you and takes time to answer your questions, besides the doctors in Birmingham are too busy to all this things.
