** ***** ** *** **** **** ** *********** ******** I had been struggling with recurrent kneecap dislocations, and boy, am I grateful that the universe led me to him. My experience with him was off the charts AMAZING! Dr Bafna patiently listened to all my concerns and took his time to diagnose my condition accurately. I never felt rushed or ignored during my appointments. He made sure I understood every aspect of my condition and explained all the available options to me, leaving no room for confusion. He is not just an expert in his field; he also has a cool and calm personality that is helpful to anxiety-ridden patients like me! On the day of my ligament surgery, I was a bundle of nerves, but his calm and jovial demeanour immediately put me at ease. It made a world of difference to have a surgeon who not only knows what he's doing but also knows how to keep his patients relaxed.
Dr. Bafna's commitment to his patients is unparalleled. Throughout my recovery process, he was with me every step of the way. Just five days after my surgery, he got me started with physiotherapy, which played a significant role in my healing journey. His follow-up game is ON POINT! For the first two months after the surgery, he checked in on me CONSTANTLY (I'm not exaggerating), making sure I was committed to my physiotherapy and that my progress was on track. He pushed me when I needed it and praised me when I deserved it. I honestly doubt I would have put in 8-9 hours of physiotherapy every day if I didn't have such an amazing doctor cheering me on.
Dr. Bafna's skills, capabilities, and dedication to his patients are beyond impressive. I am eternally grateful to him for helping me regain my mobility and for being a source of unwavering support throughout my recovery. If you're in need of an orthopaedic surgeon, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Bafna.

** ** ******** **** ***** *** ** *** **** ******* *** ****** Honestly, I’m short of words — from the very first consultation, he has supported me every step of the way. He has everything a patient hopes for: humility, skill, and clear communication.
He performed my ACL and meniscus surgery with exceptional precision, and guided me thoroughly through both the pre- and post-surgery phases. Whether it was a call or a message, he has always been a quick responsive — even weeks after the surgery, answering every query (no matter how silly) with patience and kindness.
What stood out most was his consistent follow-up — regularly checking on my progress, asking whether my knee was bending properly, if I had any pain, or how well I was walking.
If you're considering any surgery that falls under his specialization, I’d strongly recommend at least consulting him once. I’m confident you won’t regret it.****** ****** *** **** ****** **** **** *******

I recently underwent ACL reconstruction and medial meniscus repair surgery, and I am extremely grateful to Dr. Lalit Bafna for his exceptional care and expertise throughout the process.
The surgery was performed with great precision, and my recovery has been smooth and successful. By the end of the first month post-surgery, I had achieved almost full knee bending and was able to perform a straight leg raise (SLR) comfortably. This speaks volumes about Dr. Lalit Bafna’s skill in ensuring a well-executed procedure and providing proper post-surgical guidance.
What truly sets Dr. Lalit Bafna apart is his dedication to post-operative care. He has been taking weekly reports of my ACL recovery since my surgery, and these regular check-ups are still continuing, ensuring that my progress is closely monitored. His attentiveness and commitment to my recovery have been incredibly reassuring.
I highly recommend Dr. Lalit Bafna to anyone in need of ACL or knee surgery. His professionalism, expertise, and continuous support make all the difference in the recovery journey.

Best and true Dr. which is very rare in today's world
Experience 1:
The very first experience with Dr. Lalit Bafna was with my mom. She was suffering from ligament injury in her right knee. We bought stick to her as a first step. When consulted with local Orthopedic surgeon, we were advised to have a operative done as a ligament tear was detected in X-Ray and MRI investigation.
In the meantime, I contacted Dr. Lalit Bafna and shared MRI scans and reports. After listening to symptoms, he asked me to share X-Ray and he wasn't interested in MRI as a first stage of investigation. After observing X-Ray reports, he gave us just 2 weeks of medicines (that too, only 2 tablets). And my mom was absolutely fine post following the suggested course. She never used that stick :) since then.
We are really grateful and highly obliged to Dr. Lalit as he gave us GENUINE advise and saved us from unwanted knee surgery.
His diagnosis is perfect. He will give you very genuine and firm advise.
I would recommended Dr Lalit by closing my eyes. Trust is something you can't buy, it needs to be gained.
Visited For ACL &PCL Reconstruction

ust wanted to take a moment to share how thankful and indebted we are to Dr. Lalit for handling my wife’s ACL tear surgically. The first time we interacted with Dr. Lalit, I thought to myself, “my wife’s knee surgery could not be in better hands😊”. The best thing about him is he took time to hear us, explained all our options in a very thorough, concise and empathetic manner and once a course of action was decided upon, everything transpired in a quick and efficient manner. The one thing that differentiates him from other doctors is the level of compassion and sheer dedication towards his patients , never seen a doctor personally reaching out to follow up on the progress during the postoperative period from reviewing daily progress pictures to providing advise and attention to each details even a month after surgery. It has been a month now since my wife underwent surgery and she has completely recovered and able to walk pain free. Again, extremely thankful and appreciative of Dr. Lalit , ** ** ****** *** *****

Dr Lalit Bafna was so caring that after the consultation he prescribed an x ray, which was late beciz of the queue.
But he made it a point to tell the x ray person to do my x ray quickly as he had to rush for a surgery but then too he checked, he said all ok n then only he went.
Such a personal communication in just a normal consultancy was really appreciated. Any other doctor would have said that becoz i have to go to a surgery, if there is a problem in x ray, staff will contact you.
Thanks so much doctor.
