Visited For Shoulder Decompression
Happy with: Doctor friendlinessExplanation of the health issueTreatment satisfaction
I visited Dr. Lokesh to address pain in my shoulder. it has been 2 months since my surgery and I feel that my life is getting to normal again after a complete year of pain due to shoulder tendon tear(partial). He briefed me all the scenarios and his view of my condition even before looking at MRI report.
He was clear in his approach to treating me right from the moment we met further after MRI scan.
His friendly nature and positive attitude towards the surgery made me calm and helped me decide faster about the surgery. I vaguely remember (under anesthesia ), he was taking my name after surgery saying that, 'Ajay it's done successfully'.
I will definitely recommend Dr Lokesh.
Visited For ACL &PCL Reconstruction
I visited fir ACL replcement. I was very nervous but the way doctor explained gave me confidence. The doctor is very experienced, *** **** ********* *** I am completely satisfied with his treatment. He ia a kind doctor and he gives proper time to patients. I would recommend this doctor.
He heard out my issues patiently and advised me to do low impact exercise instead of the gym. I had been a hard core gym goer and had been doing the high intensive workout. I later realised that the consequences are bad if not followed regularly (due to my travelling and work, I had not gone to gym for 2-3 months). Totally satisfied with the service.

I had acute lower back pain for quite some time. I visited Dr. Lokesh at Khushi Orthopaedic Centre, Chandra Layout on 04th Feb. 2019 evening.
He got the x-rays done and briefed me about the problem. Now, he has suggested Physiotherapy/Exercises, which would help me to solve my problem of back pain.
With the interaction I had with the Doctor, I would strongly recommend Dr Lokesh for his friendly approach and the briefing given by him.
Visited For Amputation Hand
Hoped for better: Treatment satisfaction
My husband had an issue where his finger tip was amputed on our vacation in the US.Since we did not have an Referal doctors once we were back we decided to look up the best online. we just decided without researching enough that an orthopaedic surgeon would be able to help us. We visited Dr Lokesh and he just seemed to put on an image of very confident doctor who knew what he was doing. He just said it had to be Dressed and it would need to heal by itself..and seem to make it look like something he deals with regularly. Then we moved on to dressing and his assistant Dr did **** * ****** *** **** cleaning and redressing with absolutely no empathy ** *********** My husband was in severe pain for the next two days and we had to go back to him to redress in less than two days***** **** ******** *** **** ************ and we went back home and re did it ourselves, again! Not once did this Dr say we had to see a plastic surgeon! Which is what we eventually did and had some skin grafted onto the finger so that it could heal faster**** ** *** **** **** ********* ** ****** **** ** ***** **** ***** ** ***** * ****** ** ***** * ** ****** **** ** **** **** *** ********* ** **** ***** ** *** ***** ** *** ***** *** *** **** ** ***********
Visited For Knee Pain
Hoped for better: Treatment satisfaction
Had been to the doctor for my dad's knee pain issue. Doctor was friendly in explaining the issue. ********** *** **** ***** ** ******* *** ********** ********* ** ******** *** * ********** He suggested for an injection to the knee which will cost around 15k and which is expected to provide relief atleast for two years which we opted in. ***** ****** *** ********* ** *** *** *** ******* **** ****** **** *** *** **** ** **** *** *** **** *** ** *** ***** You can imagine from a person walking to the clinic and not at all able to walk. it took a different doctors consultation and several sessions of physiotherapy to get him to walk again. ** *** ***** ** ******* when called the doctor to check on the issue, he was very unwelcoming and unresponsive and didn't provide any help. This is very unprofessional behaviour *** * ******* **** ** *** ***** ***** ******** **** ** *** *** ****** ***** ************ ***** he could do was to show some courtesy. **** *** ** **** *** *****

Dr. Lokesh treated me with surgical procedure for my left wrist Distil Radial fracture.
He was meticulous in his diagnosis and surgery with insertion of pins resulting in successful healing of the wrist after 6 weeks in cast.
He carried out periodical review during the six weeks to check the bone alignment.
His approach with a smile has been most reassuring and courage instilling to the patient.
Thank you Dr.Lokesh and his assistant doctor Dr. Syed for the ********* treatment.
Happy with: Doctor friendliness
Interaction with the doctor is fine. But, the x-ray laboratory and the supporting staff who do tasks like fitting the cast need to improve a lot.
The plastic cast that was applied to my fractured foot got loose in just a week, beating the purpose of putting the cast.
I got an x-ray done at a new diagnostic center that opened in Banaswadi in earlier month. They charged Rs.400 for a digital x-ray and it is crystal clear. Where as, this hospital charged Rs.500 and the (old type) x-ray is not clear at all.
** ** ** ********* ******* *** ** *** **** ***** ******* * **** **** ***** He explained every point about the injury. How to cure it, and everything. And about surgery how he is going to perform.
If left operating what are the damages that will cause and what are the difficulty we will face. He is so good, done more surgeries, *** ** *** **** ************* ** **********
