Shoulder Knee Clinic

This super positive review is for Dr. Abhay Kulkarni. We had first met him approximately 10 years back when my mother had a wrist fracture. A doctor in Mumbai (not disclosing name) had suggested a surgery and we decided to get her in Pune and consulted with Dr. Abhay. He assured that it will be healed with a plaster and it indeed got healed. We feel we were lucky to have found him at the right time.

Now again, my mother was having shoulder/upper arm pain for months. After evaluating usual causes like, sleeping position / vaccination etc. etc. , in her routine checkup with diabetologist, who suggested that it could be due to frozen shoulder recommended exercises. Even after excises , when there was no relief , we googled for Dr. Abhay and found the Shoulder and Knee Clinic in Aundh. Booked appointment immediately at midnight. Dr Abhay examined her thoroughly. Since her pain was unbearable, he recommended MRI. It was diagnosed that she had a rotator cuff tear and surgery was suggested. Dr Abhay successfully completed the surgery in Sahyadri Hospital on 29th oct 2021. My Mother is currently undergoing post surgery care. Will update this review of how she is feeling after 3 months.

My mother (aged 66) who is typically very skeptical of going to a doctor surprisingly is very comfortable with Dr. Abay. It is because of the way he attends his patients. He gives them ample time, comforts them by explaining things in simple words and deals with lot of sensitivity and respect. Thereby assuring them of better life. Thus making him an ideal choice for elderly patients. We feel he is more of a friend :)

Regarding the clinic, it is a chic place at a convenient location, parking is usually available and appointment time is respected.

Medicines/Surgeries cure diseases but only Doctors can cure patients. Dr. Abhay is one such doctor who is blessed with healing hands. May God give you strength to cure many more patients.

Heartfelt Gratitude from our entire family!

My husband got operated by him in November, and the process was very smooth. He is one of the finest doctor and more over a great humble, gentle and polite human being we have came across.

He provides full attention to patients and his process of treatment works as magic. I am thankful and grateful that we got such a great doctor to treat my husband’s shoulder injury. My husband is still healing post surgery and we are sure he will recover really well under doctor’s guidance.

Dear Doctor, I wish you lots of success in your career and may you always keep shining like a star. Thanks for bearing with us. 😊🎊🎊💐

I am 35-year-old and I got meniscus tear(bucket handle tear) around a year ago. The tear was so severe that my range of motion was blocked, and I could not straighten my leg completely. I could not walk or drive bike car etc. I could not bend my leg beyond 90 degrees. It was very horrible situation and got too many restrictions on day-to-day activities. I was frustrated and was not sure whether I will be able to resume normal life again. I almost visited multiple ortho specialists, had multiple MRIs done and finally visited Dr. Abhay Kulkarni, he made me comfortable to help me understand the treatment. He explained everything in detail about what needs to be done and how. I was confident that he is the only one who can make me walk again without false promises. Then finally my knee was operated, and the meniscus was repaired. I went through Physiotherapy for 6 months and now I can do my daily routine activities about 90% . Its almost 8+ months now and I am back to my normal life, I can walk, drive car, drive bike, play with my kid, climb stairs and much more...got a new life. I am doing strengthening exercises now. Thanks to Dr. Abhay Kulkarni, He is very polite and humble. He is one of the best and finest ortho specialist you can visit. I strongly recommend the doctor. Thanks to Dr. Manisha for coordinating the entire process and managing my appointments. Also, thanks to Physiotherapy team for carefully planned and progressive sessions.
