Hi, I really feel privileged and honored to write this review for Dr. Rajashekhar K.T, from Apollo Hopitals, Banerghatta, Bangalore. Recently I had the privilege of witnessing the treatment of my father-in-law by Dr. Rajashekhar K. T. for Total knee replacement, and I cannot express enough how impressed I am with his clinical diagnosis, expertise, precision, in addition to his compassionate approach. As a super-specialist in orthopedic surgery, particularly knee replacement, Dr. Rajashekhar demonstrates exceptional skill *** **** ******* ********* **** ** ******* **** *** **** ***** ************* ****** He had recommended only what was really needed and his words were extremely re-assuring and satisfying.
From diagnosis, to surgery, to post-operative care, every stage was handled with the utmost professionalism. He took the time to explain the procedure, expected outcomes and chances of recovery clearly in detail, which helped alleviate all our anxieties. The surgery itself was remarkably smooth, and thanks to his meticulous surgical technique and expertise with robotic surgery, the patient experienced minimal post-operative discomfort, almost nothing, and was able to start mobilizing with physiotherapy sooner than expected. Literally he started walking quite well from the same evening, which was honestly beyond our wildest expectations.
What stands out the most is his commitment to patient recovery and humility. Dr. Rajashekhar monitored the progress of the patient closely, adjusted care plans as needed, and coordinated seamlessly with the rehab team. His empathetic demeanor and willingness to address every concern instilled a lot of confidence and comfort throughout the process. His passion for excellence, patient recovery & welfare is also shared equally by his experienced, efficient and supportive team. I would specially like to mention the name of Mrs. Rekha here, Chief Attendant to Dr. Rajkshekar, who selflessly and continuously addressed all our issues and requirements, most of time even on her own, without us even asking for it. Frankly speaking, I am completely overwhelmed and extremely grateful by the service provided, by the entire team of Dr. Rajashekhar.
Today, my dad-in-law have regained significant mobility and is already leading quite a pain-free and active life — something we never thought possible before the surgery. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Rajashekhar K T to anyone seeking expert care in knee replacement or orthopedic issues. Just visit him once to verify whatever I have stated here. He is truly one of the finest in his field, and definitely among the best in the world at present in this area.

My mom has been dealing with osteoarthritis for almost 8-10 years. We knew that it needed surgical intervention as we had consulted many doctors before. We were uncertain because surgery is widely viewed as a complicated and intense option.
Recent deterioration in terms of further dislocation made her immobile and we decided to go for a long-term solution.
In light of this, Dr. Rajashekhar not only connected well with my mom, but also instilled courage, confidence and trust - which meant we didn’t have to work on convincing her separately, as patient readiness was paramount.
We were formally introduced to Dr. Rajashekhar through our orthopedic expert, Dr. Maheshwarappa.
Dr. Rajashekhar is undeniably a highly skilled, capable, and experienced doctor, something we were already aware of. However, his true expertise shines in his ability to make decisions tailored to the unique needs of each patient. His remarkable ability to combine empathy with expertise is exactly what every patient and the family needs, and he excels at it effortlessly.
My mom successfully underwent total knee replacements (TKRs) for both knees. It has been incredibly heartwarming to see her transition from needing a wheelchair to walking confidently and with ease!
In her own words, “The whole process was presumed to be tedious, scary, and intense but under Dr. Rajashekhar’s capable hands, it felt like an easy, smooth-going, and less painful process. I wish to thank the Doctor and his team from the bottom of my heart for making me independent and confident!”
*** ******** ********** ** ********* *** **** ******** ******* *** ** *** ******* *** ******* ** ***** ************ He is strongly supported by Dr Srinivas Holla, Dr Amar, Dr Anirudh, Dr Adarsh, the pivotal coordinator Rekha, and his complete team who share the same objective - the patient’s well-being. Physiotherapy, the phase that was spoken of as the most painful of all, was smoothly handled at the hospital by Mr. Anandu & team.
Another differentiator is the doctor’s attention to the smallest detail. He thoughtfully referred us to a trusted physiotherapist from his network – this ensured an undisrupted physiotherapy of the same quality that he expected. So overall, the end-to-end scenario connected well, and we had a very comfortable experience throughout!
Our recommendation to osteoarthritis patients out there who are considering surgery – please go for it – you would be very safe in Dr. Rajashekhar’s hands.

My experience with Dr. Rajashekhar KT (Orthopaedic Surgeon) and his team of doctorsat Apollo Hospital, Bannerghatta, Bangalore for my revision knee replacement (right knee) has been exceptional and heart warming.I had my Total Knee Replacement (both the knees) in 2017. The surgery was successful but I had complications during post-op surgery care which required another procedure to insert plates and rods which were later removed due to spread of swelling and infection. The swelling and pain over time became worse and made the mobility of my right leg very difficult. I wanted to know the next course of action as there was a lack of clarity on what can be done to fix my right leg and gain my mobility. I wanted to consult a surgeon here in Bengaluru who could guide me on the right set of next steps and answer my concerns and queries. After quite a bit of research and discussions with family, I met Dr. Rajashekhar K T at Apollo Hospital. My first meeting with him convinced me that I am in good hands. He gave a detailed explanation of what’s wrong and what the surgery would entail and assured me that the revision surgery although complicated isn’t a critical one. He is always willing to hear patient's concerns and addresses them timely. He understands his patient's frame of mind and makes sure that his patient gets the best care possible. His professionalism, expertise and compassionate approach are truly commendable. The confidence, comfort and assurance that I got from Dr. Rajashekhar is something that I didn't get from few other knee specialists whom I met before consulting Dr.RajashekharThanks for performing a successful Revision Knee Replacement surgery. The post operative physio care and rehabilitation under Doctor's advice is also very satisfying.I would also like to express my gratitude to the team of Doctors starting with -Dr. Srinivasa Holla (Anesthesiologist) for going through all my previous medical history and examining all the medicines that I was taking and suggesting me on what can be continued and what needs to be stopped. All these would not be possible if you hadn't taken extra care with my several year medical history and conditions. Thanks for attending on me during the surgery with utmost care.Dr. Anil for the initial examination of my right leg condition and patiently listening to my knee medical history and suggesting the required diagnostic reports and Dr. Jyothsna, physician for the utmost care.We are also grateful to Dr.Bhat and Dr.Kartik who interacted with us, leading to the surgery.Dr. Anandu and Dr. Abdul (Physiotherapists) and all other physiotherapists who helped me walk after post-op, giving attention to flexibility and workability and taught me all the necessary exercises.Dr. Rekha (Physician Associate) who helped me with all the consultations and attended to all my concerns, doubts and queries I had regarding the treatment, surgery, post-op care.Kalpagam Viswanathan

This is an opinion on my experience with the treatment of Dr. K T Rajashekar, Orthopedic Surgeon in Apollo Hospital Bannergatta, Bangalore.
I had taken my aunt who was experiencing acute pain in both the knees. On the suggestion of the doctor, we got Full Knee Replacement done through Dr. K T Rajashekar.
I would like to express my profound gratitude for Dr. K T Rajashekar and his team of doctors including the doctors of other related areas (Physicians, Anesthetists, Physiotherapists) and the nursing including support and logistics team for their excellent treatment / services.
Dr. Rajashekar is very kind and patiently answered to all our queries, explained the process and requirements very clearly. He made us very comfortable and then he conducted the knee operations for both the legs in a gap of 3 days. The operation was very successful and my aunt did not undergo severe pain during recovery as normally complained by others.
One month since the operation, she is now able to walk normally and able to climb the steps. She did not experience any severe pain post operation and now is almost normal.
The coordination among his team and also doctors of other related areas is of very high standard and a simple message to anyone of them would be attended with all seriousness by the entire team. On staying with my aunt in the hospital for this operation until discharge, I could see all the doctors very treating very nicely by giving all the required comfort level to the patient. His Physician Assistant Ms Rekha is worth mentioning on a special basis, as she used to visit my aunt at regular intervals and see that all the requirements are attended to. The Anesthesia Specialist (Dr. Srinivas Holla) and the Physiotherapists (specially to Dr. Anandu) attended my aunt very well with all the due care.
Dr. Rajashekar can be said to have magic in hands as I could see a perfectly done operation.
I profoundly thank Dr. Rajashekar and his team of doctors and the nursing team for a very good treatment extended to my aunt.
With deep gratitude,
B. Srinivasa Setty, Hospet

I had been suffering pain in both my knees for nearly a decade. Let alone walk, even standing for a few seconds was excruciatingly difficult. The fear of pain and the lack of clarity on the recovery after surgery made me postpone taking any action for relief till now. Also, I did not know how to decide on the surgeon whom I could trust and be rest assured that I would be able to walk again without pain.
After a lot of research and asking around, I met Dr. Rajasekhar K T at Fortis, BG Road. That single meeting was enough for me to be convinced that I am in good hands. X-rays and other diagnosis had revealed that though both my knees required surgery, the damage in the left one was quite intense.
I went ahead with the the joint replacement surgery of both my knees with a gap of 4 days between the two. Apparently, the surgery in the left knee was a very difficult one, as was described by several doctors present during the surgery. However, on both the days of the surgeries, I could walk a few steps on the day itself. I was in the hospital for a total of 9 days. Although there was post-operative pain and discomfort, I was very well taken care of.
It has been over a month now. My stitches came off after 15 days of the surgeries. I am continuing with physiotherapy and diet control and I am experiencing a noticeable difference in my mobility. Even after I was back home, any time I had a query or a concern, Dr Rajashekhar was always there, just a whatsapp message away.This was a huge support as any new development would make me worried. He would reassure me and prescribe medicines if any was required.
If you are suffering because of damaged knees, I highly recommend that you must consult an orthopedic surgeon immediately and if you are in Bangalore, based on my experience I can say quite definitively that you need not look anywhere beyond Dr. Rajashekhar K T.

I am sharing the feedback on behalf of my father, Asoke Goswami, his age is 69 years. My father has been suffering from knee pain for the last 12 years. Though we have taken consultation from an Orthopedic surgeon 12 years back and knee replacement operation has been proposed because of Osteoarthritis. My father was not ready for a knee replacement operation till Feb’22. His conception was that he may not walk properly after his operation because of his old age. He was using painkillers medicine very frequently without informing us. On Feb '22, his pain was intolerable and the painkiller medicine was not working as per expectation. That’s why we decided on the operation.
We are extremely fortunate that we are able to manage an appointment with Dr. Rajashekhar K T who is a specialist in Knee Replacement Surgery at Bannerghatta Road, Bangalore Fortis Hospital. The doctor operated on my father’s both legs with a single hospitalization duration of 8 days, though my father is having complications like Blood Sugar, High Blood Pressure, Kidney & Prostate Issue. I am literally happy to see my father that within 45 days after the operation, my father is walking 2 KM/DAY without any support. He did not feel any pain. The medicine stooped almost 15 days back. I can say we got the best treatment in Bangalore from a world-class doctor with a class -1 hospital within my budget with a limited timeline.
We are thankful to the doctor Rajashekhar K T that he has given a new life to my father in his 69 years of age where my father can walk properly without any support without any pain.
