Zen Spine Clinic, Dadar West

Hi.

I am Shabbir Ansari.I was suffering from severe back pain radiating in my right leg with tingling and pinched nerve pain at backside of left butt and thigh.I was unable to stand straight and walk for more than 2 minutes.I used to walk with curvature on one side.

I came to know about Dr.Rakesh Dhake sir through his videos on YouTube related to spine problems.Although I had consulted 3 spine surgeons before,yet I visited Dr.Rakesh Dhake sir for his opinion.I was diagnosed bilateral nerve root compression at L4-L5 ( lumbar canal stenosis) and slippage of vertebrae L5 (spondylolisthesis ).He advised me L4-L5

TLIF surgery and explained everything in detail about mini open TLIF,minimally invasive TLIF,approximate expenses,hospital stay,post operative care and recovery period etc.

After discussion with my family,I underwent open TLIF surgery by Dr.Rakesh

Dhake sir at saifee hospital,Mumbai.

He was very prompt and responsive during pre and post surgery.My both leg pain gone same day after surgery.Now after 3 weeks,I am very satisfied and have mild back pain but my standing and walking posture improved 100%.

Dr.Rakesh Dhake sir is an excellent and skilled surgeon who is trained in various countries and I felt lucky that I got operated by him.Not just a good surgeon but he Is a good human being.I would recommend him to any patient with spine related problems.

I and my family wish him all the best for his future and lots of blessings.

Thank you Dr.Rakesh Dhake sir.

Keep it up.

My mom's first spine surgery with implants was done by other doctor on 25 th nov 2024.Within 2 months she got infection in surgical area. Without proper examination only random antibiotics were given to mom.Which results into the severe infection i.e sepsis.Then only one option remain removing the implants and to give a deep wash .As she was in sepsis we cannot shift her to any other hospital.

After 6 days she came out of sepsis and second surgery was done by the same doctor. He removed all the implants and only give the simple wash and one more thing he has done..he compressed her one nerve which leads to severe pain in right leg.Three months she was hospitalised...with painfull, sleepless nights.She used to cry everyday...almost more than 50 painkillers were injected but no relief.

Meanwhile we come to know Dr. Rakesh Dhake Sir through his youtube videos. We decided to take a consultation. I still remember the day when me and my brother went to sir's clinic with mom's latest MRI.Just by reading the MRI sir identify the exact problem and suggested third surgery.He explained us everything in detail.

On 15 th April 2025 third surgery was done by Dr Rakesh Sir. From second day there is drastic decrease in pain.she started peacefully sleeping without painkillers. Now pain has been reduced to the greater extent and she is gradually improving.We are very thankful to him.

I am sharing this phase of life with everyone so that nobody should suffer like us.

One of the learning from this phase is to choose your doctor wisely.

Four months ago, my wife underwent L4-L5 TLIF surgery under the care of Dr. Rakesh Dhake. At that time, we were filled with fear, anxiety, and uncertainty. Seeing her in constant pain and unable to even perform daily activities was heartbreaking.

But today, when I see her walking pain-free, smiling, and living her normal life again, I feel nothing but immense gratitude towards Dr. Dhake. His calm approach, clear explanations, and compassionate attitude gave us the strength and confidence we desperately needed. Throughout the journey—from the first consultation to surgery and follow-up—he treated us not just as patients, but like family.

Dr. Dhake’s skill as a spine surgeon is truly remarkable, but what stands out even more is his kindness, humility, and genuine care for his patients. We will always be grateful to him for giving my wife a new life, free from pain.

Thank you, Dr. Dhake, for being not just an excellent surgeon, but a wonderful human being.

We consulted Dr. Rakesh Dhake for TB spine when I was suffering from severe pain. Another doctor had advised urgent spine surgery and warned that if I did not undergo surgery, I could become paralysed. Our entire family was under immense stress and fear, and we were even preparing to take a loan for the surgery.

Dr. Rakesh Dhake patiently reviewed my MRI **** **** ***** ********** *** *******, told us that I could recover without surgery. That one conversation changed everything for us. His calm approach, ********** and honesty gave us hope when we needed it the most.

Today, after one year, I am standing tall—pain-free, not paralysed, and able to live my life normally. Words are not enough to express how grateful I am to Dr. Rakesh Dhake. He didn’t just treat my spine; he saved me and my family from fear, stress, *** *********** *******. He is truly a blessing for patients like u
