Zen Spine Clinic Malad, Malad West

I visited Zen Spine Clinic, Malad for my mother’s treatment after she sustained a spine bone fracture due to a fall at home. My mother has multiple comorbidities with low heart pumping, diabetes, so her case was not straightforward. Despite this, Dr. Rakesh handled her treatment with great care and confidence, making the entire process smooth and stress-free for us. Due to heavy traffic, we reached the clinic a couple of hours late, yet Dr. Rakesh patiently waited for us and gave us his full attention. He carefully listened to all of my mother’s concerns, reviewed her past medical history in detail, and explained the treatment options clearly. He advised an MRI scan and mentioned that the further course — whether oral medication or a vertebroplasty — would depend on the findings. My mother was exhausted from the long journey, and the doctor was kind enough to let her rest comfortably, even though it was well past his working hours. When we expressed the need for immediate hospitalization, as my mother could not manage the pain at home, he personally arranged for an ambulance to ensure her safe transfer. Based on the MRI results, Dr. Rakesh recommended vertebroplasty, which he performed exactly as planned. The procedure went smoothly, and he continued to remain accessible afterward — always available to answer our calls and messages with patience and kindness. What truly stood out was his humility and genuine concern for the patient. In an age where many focus only on procedures, Dr. Rakesh maintains a compassionate rapport with both the patient and the family, which plays a major role in the healing process. ** **** **** *** ***** **** ** **** ** ******* **** ******* ***** **** *** ********* ********* ****** *** ************ ***** I sincerely thank Dr. Rakesh for his dedication, empathy, and professionalism. He is a rare combination of skill, patience, and compassion — truly a doctor who treats both the illness and the person. My heartfelt rating: ***** (5/5). Wishing him continued success and many more lives touched by his good work.

Dr. Rakesh Dhake sir has treated me for cervical spondylosis. I was also lucky to have worked with him and as a patient I can say thay he is a very honest and humble doctor who actually cares for the patient and focuses on individual treatment for the patient. He suggests surgery only when it is really needed and tries to optimise the conservative non surgical treatment for back pain and neck pain. If my family ever needs any spine specialist I would suggest Dr. Rakesh Dhake sir as one of the finest spine surgeon without a doubt. You may find a good spine surgeon but too find a good doctor and a good caring human being in that doctor might be difficult. That what Dr. Rakesh sir is!!

We consulted Dr. Rakesh Dhake when I was diagnosed with cancer at the D11 level, which was compressing my spinal cord. At that time, I was unable to stand or walk and my condition was very frightening for my family and me. Sir explained everything calmly and advised immediate surgery. ****** **** *** ***** ** ******** ** ** **** ***** ********** *** *****

Today, only 10 days after surgery, I am already walking on my own and even visited Haji Ali for darshan. My sutures have not even been removed yet, and still my leg strength has improved so much. I truly feel blessed and grateful to Dr. Rakesh Dhake for giving me a new life and hope when I needed it the most. His skill, timely decision, and compassionate approach made all the difference.

I had been suffering from severe L4–L5 spinal stenosis and, due to my weight, I was extremely worried about both the condition and the surgery. I was barely able to walk before the operation.

Dr. Rakesh Dhake performed my spine surgery, and I am truly grateful for his expertise and care. It has been just 15 days since the surgery, and I am already feeling significantly better and able to move much more comfortably.

He explained everything clearly, handled my case with ***** confidence, and gave me the reassurance I needed during a very stressful time. I sincerely thank him for giving me my mobility and confidence back.

Highly recommended for anyone dealing with spine problems.

Dr Rakesh is a very very professional doctor. He knows exactly what the problem is and the exact solution for it. He uses all the latest technologies to relieve the pain. My mother who is 74 years old has undergone fusion surgery L3-L4-L5 TLIF. She has been operated at Sahaydri hospital, Nashik. She was suffering from sciatica pain and numbness for the last 15 years. We were always scared when it came to getting her surgery done. For the last few months, the pain has been unbearable and she was not able to stand or walk for more than 2-3 mins. Thanks to sir for the timely rescue. No doubt it will take time for her to recover but the surgery went well and the symptoms have weaned off. I highly recommend Dr Rakesh for spinal treatments. Thank you Sir.

I had been suffering from severe spine problems for almost twenty years. I constantly experienced back pain, numbness in my legs, and difficulty sleeping because of discomfort. In 2013, several doctors advised me to undergo surgery, but the possible risks made me afraid to proceed.

In September 2025, I met Dr. Rakesh Dhake at his Malad (West) clinic. He patiently explained the structure of the spine, the reasons behind my pain, and how modern technologies have made spine surgery much safer and more successful. His calm nature, **** *********, and confidence completely removed my fear.

On 14th October 2025, I underwent spine surgery performed by Dr. Dhake. The very next day, I was able to stand on my own feet. It’s been fifteen days since my surgery, and I have no pain, no numbness, and no burning sensation in my legs. I can now walk and even cook for my family without any difficulty.

My family and I are deeply grateful to Dr. Rakesh Dhake. ****** *** ****** **** ** ***** ** ******* ******** **** * ****** *** ** ******* ******* **** **** *

We are extremely grateful to Dr. Rakesh Dhake for successfully performing my father’s spinal fusion surgery. Within just 15 days, he is doing very well and is able to walk comfortably with much less pain. Earlier, he had to stop every 10–15 minutes due to pain, but now he is walking smoothly and confidently. Dr. Dhake is highly skilled, caring, and explains everything clearly. We truly appreciate his dedication and expertise and highly recommend him to anyone with spine problems.

I had an excellent experience with my spinal fracture treatment by Dr. Rakesh Dhake. From the very first consultation, he explained everything clearly and gave me confidence about the surgery and recovery. The procedure was done very smoothly, and the care, support, and follow-up after surgery were outstanding. I am recovering well and truly grateful for his expertise, dedication, and compassionate approach. Highly recommended for anyone dealing with spine problems.

Dr. Rakesh Dhake sir was recommended to me by my family Dr and Upadhyay sir. Dhake sir stopped my blood thinners and gave me enough time to think and process. We decided to go ahead and now 48 hours after the surgery I am very grateful to sir and able to stand and walk without pain. I underwent lumbar decompression surgery. I am to be discharged tomorrow and very thankful to all the doctors and team involved especially Dr. Rakesh dhake sir *** ** *** **** ***** *******.
