Visited For ACL &PCL Reconstruction
Happy with: Doctor friendlinessExplanation of the health issueTreatment satisfactionValue for moneyWait time
Dr. Chirag Thonse, an absolute magician! True magic in his hands and I can say it by my firsthand experience. My ACL reconstruction was due for almost 3 years and what I did during this time was researched and tried all possible means to have my ligament back to avoid an operation. Now with the numerous videos on YouTube about ACL repair/reconstruction of which few are motivating by a step and few demotivating back by several steps, to sum up on the outcome of the research that I did, I was confused and afraid of a surgery and hence the reason to the delay. Well I must admit that I have consulted many Doctors and have no count of the number of MRI’s that I have taken in an expectation to see if my ligament has improved by time. Dr. Chirag Thonse was one such doctor whom I met and with the discussion on the approach and the confidence he gave me I was convinced, at that point I felt I need to get the reconstruction procedure done right away then and there. It was in March 2020 that I consulted Dr. Chirag and in April 2020 I underwent the surgery, mind you it was the lockdown and yes he operated my ACL with the pandemic around. On the experiences from the blogs and videos that I had I was certain of the post operation pain and was nervous beyond normal. The day of operation, it was no less than thriller with my heart pounding hard and all the prep-up going on for the procedure. Finally I was at the operation theatre witnessing the entire procedure on the TV/monitor while Dr. Chirag and team were in action. After the operation I was under care for almost 2 hours and later shifted to my ward. All that I was awaiting and prepared for was the post-op pain, the night of the operation I experienced it but not to the extent that I had read and watched. I thought probably it is the anesthesia and the pain management doses keeping me away from pain. The next day morning I was made to walk, yes you heard it was the very next day and it was indeed surprising that I was doing absolutely fine and walked quite a distance with the Physio’s support (never expected this at all). Only disappointment was that there was no pain at all that day, all my expectation was in vain :). I got discharged on the second day. After a week I called up Dr. Chirag and expressed the expectation that I had and I asked Doctor, how can there be no paint at all? He smiled and said, that’s why people get their ACL surgery done with me. I must also stress on the fact that Dr. Chirag leaves no stone unturned in terms of taking care of his patients, I have been in touch with him for 8 months now, I am able to jog, jump and squat. I am really blessed and fortunate to have the ACL surgery done by him. He guides you at every step on the journey to progress and the upcoming milestones, to top it all his patience is that of a Saint for the number of patients he has and he operates on a day to day basis. **** *** **** **** **** ** *** ** ** ************* *** *** ****** * **** *** * ********* Thank you Doctor for what you have done, I will remain thankful to you forever

Visited Dr. Chirag with a left knee injury. He patiently listened & allowed me to speak to give him all the details like how the injury happened, which part of my knee I had more pain etc. After analyzing my injury, with the help of knee model, he explained me in detail about my injury & what was the impacted of injury. After looking at the MRI scan, he did not rush & asked me undergo surgery immediately, but took 10 days’ time to analysis further with medication & some exercise.

I had a knee injury. This happened to me abroad. We consulted orthopedic surgeons and they suggested pain killers for 4 days. But still, I wasn't able to walk. After that Doctor suggested to use crutches and knee braces for 3-4 weeks and later go for an MRI and based on result go for Physiotherapy. It was almost 2 months I was on crutches and I didn't notice improvement and came to India where my uncle referred Dr. Chirag. He analyzed the case and suggested me to go for an Arthroscopy MPFL Reconstruction and physiotherapy pre and post surgery. I wasn't prepared for the surgery. He gave enough confidence to go for it. He even helped in the insurance process.

I had first visited the doctor in the month of October’20 for my mother’s frozen shoulder. Doctor was able to diagnose and referred to Physiotherapy and prescribed some medication. The meeting was very short and very cold, I was ok because at least we had an action plan. My mother suffering from colitis *** ********* ****** **** ********* ***** I told doctor and he asked to stop. Here was my first setback, when I asked doctor what next, there was no response. When I insisted and asked that shall we come and meet you, he very casually said “yes, you may come”. Second meeting as well was cold and he simply said to continue physiotherapy. Alright, we continued for a month, then again visited. The meeting, response and everything remained same very cold, I mean there was no personal touch at all, as if we are meeting for the first time, no patient history no track, simply a visit. I was a little frustrated by this time as my mother was not getting better. As it was about 2 months now, I asked doctor any idea how much time it is going to take, shall we change physiotherapy, or basically is there a plan. The answer was again very cold that “it’s going to take one year and I’m not a physiotherapist so cannot tell what needs to be changed”. I immediately decided to switch because I felt that it doesn’t matter for him, ******* ********* ** ** *** ******* **** ******* ******** *** ** *** ** ****** ***** I had to penetrate to get an answer, otherwise doctor was very much ok to just simply spend “not more than 10 mins” in each visit.
