My Mother-in-law was suffering with server pain left leg for couple of years and it was increasing over the time and it reached a stage where she was unable to stand/walk for more than 10min. we consulted couple of Ortho/Spine specialists and we were suggested to go for spine surgery to remove the disk compression and herniation to get rid of pain. After spending lots of time, We finally decided to go with Yogesh sir based on his credentials and experience. Based on the MRI and other reports, he suggested a 3level surgery (L3-L4, L4-L5, L5-S1) and mentioned its going to be super-Major surgery. He explained clearly about severity of the case, risk involved in the surgery along with proposed surgical procedure. It is really appreciable the way he made us comfortable and built the confidence in my mother-in-law. Finally surgery was performed in the month of Aug 2022. The surgery went for more than 8hours and it was told all went well. It was informed that the disk compressions were removed at all 3levels and implanted Artificial cages at L4-L5 and L5-S1 levels.
my Mother-in-law started walking slowly on day-3 with the help of physiotherapist and we were discharged from hospital on day-6. She started recovering slowly - of course she had bit of tough time in the recovery process. But, the kind of support from Yogesh sir post surgery really helped her uplifting her confidence level and made her walk for more than 30min in a single stretch within 3weeks of time. Its now 6months and she is completely free of pain and could lead her normal life without any sort of pain.
We would like to convey our sincere gratitude to Yogesh sir for giving her life back.
I strongly recommend Yogesh sir for his finest skill-set, experience, post surgery care and the patient interaction.

** ** ** ********* ******* very soft spoken. His talking style will put the patient at ease and however big the problem may be, the patient will feel it is a small problem. He will not prescribe any aggresive treatments in the beginning and tries to solve the issue with some tablets.
Overall highly recommended.

Went with my 79 year old grandmother for Hand and Leg pain/numbness. Had a bit of a misunderstanding on the first visit but on the subsequent visit, Doctor was able to diagnose and treat my grandmother and she was very satisfied. Doctor and his wife were very patient with my grandmother and I'm glad that she's happy with the treatment. Thank you.

I recently visited the clinic for my Spine injury, happened a month ago and the initial medication for a month was elsewhere nearby. Since it was to do with Spine injury, wanted to consult another specialist and based one of relatives recommendation we consulted the doctor.I visited the clinic with all my reports X-RAY, MRI Scans & other medications I was undergoing. I was asked to pay for the consultation the moment we entered, which is still acceptable.After a long wait, it was my turn. Me and my wife entered, and the Doctor later came in. For initial few seconds the doctor didn't even bother to ask anything and kept looking at some form. After that hold, he asked for X-ray. I told him I have my MRI scans and reports too, which I thought would have given much clarity, but he didn't respond to it and continued to look at X-rays for just few secs and kept aside.I was just waiting for the doctor to probe and ask for details on how, when & what happened, but he didn't. I waited but then couldn't resist, and I started off on explaining what exactly and what are the medications I'm undergoing. I continuously spoke for few minutes, but he looked as if he wasn't interested at all, nor was making an eye contact towards us and was busy looking elsewhere. I felt very disappointed with his attitude and not caring kind of behaviour. He didn't look approachable at all.I was going through a Spinal fracture and was expecting the doctor to atleast guide me / suggest me on continuing or changes in current medication I was undergoing. Since it was NOT an free consultation and I had paid a bomb amount, even before seeing the doctor. I didn't give up. I wanted my questions to be clarified & addressed. When asked for questions, he didn't respond to some and then very rudely he asked me to STOP and to Listen to Him. I felt really offended with that behaviour. I had travelled from such long distance, hoping to know on my condition and the next steps that Doctor can guide.I was expecting the doctor to explain me on the depth of the problem, improvement and the medication to be followed (if there were changes in current).I guess we had spent 5mins or so by now, and then he got a call from someone, and he responded, give me 2 Mins and kept the call. I was totally worried, if the doctor would close in 2mins, since for last few minutes spent there was nothing I was guided through or was even explained on next steps or even probed on what happened or even the doctor looked at all the medications I was going through & said ok. After the call, he showed sense of urgency and wanted to close as soon as possible. I still didn't give up and aksed what next? And then he wrote a lot of blood related tests, which might help him examine better in the next visit, in a weeks time, he said. I got more worried because, one - I spent so much on the X-ray, MRI'S and other tests already, which were not even looked with quality time (atleast a minute) or even probed about, and second - on what basis were the tests suggested. I still was ok and accepted.Since there was a gap of a week, until my next suggested meet the doctor again, with the reports for the new tests recommended for analysis. I very badly wanted to know what should I for a week? Continue with the current medication or stop it? I remember I asked him 3 times. And then rudely he responded, "Let's not go in circles". Just get the tests done and get the reports next week and until then it's not wise for me to comment anything, he said. I didn't understand what was wrong in asking. Since it was Spine, it didn't want to neglect or regret later ******* ** ***** ***********While showing sense of urgency to close and not caring kind of attitude, unfortunately, he then got a call again, and he said "2 mins" and disconnected. I was scared, if he would say we are done and you may leave. And He did. I had reached the saturation point by now. I couldn't resist and told him that there is a reason why I have come all the way from so far, and there is a reason why I'm asking so many questions & still getting ignored. I repeated, I have spent a huge amount on travel and consultation, and not just to come & sit for less than 10mins & be ignored, insulted. He laughed and after that I didn't want to sit any longer. He finally took a form and ticked few tablets that I can take and asked to leave.I didn't want to talk about the experience & doctor 's behaviour with wife, since it was a close relative from her side who recommended him. But the moment we got out, she herself said, what just happened? What kind of a behaviour was that? And that's when I felt, it wasn't just me who felt it wasn't a worth of visit.I have never had such experience in past nor seen a professional behave so unprofessional. Right from beginning till end, he was not friendly at all, and was very arrogant. Didn't want the patient to ask questions at all. And never wanted to clarify things in detail. Then whom do we go to? How do we read those reports? I'm not here to criticize or write negative. It's just an experience that disturbed me coming all the way & spending so much, for nothing. I would never recommend anyone and also have informed the one who recommended.Please do respect even the patients TIME and Money ***** * **** ***** ***** * * ********* ***** ****** *** **** *** *********** **** *** ****** ***** ********* **** *** ******** *** *** ******* ** ***** ** *********Just hoping others don't go through this. Thank!
