Why patients choose Dr. Rakesh

An honest opinion, explained clearly

01

He explains, in plain language

The single most repeated praise across his reviews. Patients — and their elderly parents — leave understanding exactly what is wrong and why.

02

Surgery only when it is needed

Reviewers repeatedly describe being spared unnecessary scans, medicines and operations. One patient was offered a cast under anaesthesia where others had advised wiring.

03

Reachable in an emergency

Patients describe him making himself available on a Sunday, on a single phone call, to handle an urgent injury.

04

He stays with you after surgery

Pre-operative and post-operative follow-through is a constant theme — including support through difficult recoveries.

Patient stories

In their own words

Unedited reviews left by patients on Google.

Despite it being a holiday, he made himself available with just a phone call to understand the emergency. He patiently examined the injury and handled the entire dislocation correction very professionally and carefully. His calm approach and immediate attention gave great relief to my brother.
Mohammed A.
Emergency care on a Sunday
After consulting 4-5 other orthopedic doctors for my mother's knee pain without success, we finally found relief under Dr. Rakesh's treatment. He took the time to understand her concerns and offered the most effective solutions.
Suresh K.
Knee pain, after four other opinions
Consulted several doctors who advised surgery (K-wire), but this amazing doctor offered a non-surgical option — cast under anesthesia. The whole experience was smooth, healing was perfect, and everything was done within a reasonable budget.
