Happy with: Treatment satisfaction
My father recently underwent nerve decompression surgery under Dr. Rakesh, and we are extremely thankful for the care and expertise he received.
For months, he had been suffering from severe leg pain that affected his daily life and sleep. Today, he was discharged from the hospital, and the happiness on his face says it all. The pain that troubled him for so long has significantly reduced, and he is finally feeling comfortable and hopeful again.
Dr. Rakesh guided us through every step with patience, professionalism, and confidence. His clear explanations and compassionate approach gave our family immense reassurance during a stressful time.
A heartfelt thank you to Dr. Rakesh and the entire team for giving my father a new lease on life. We are truly grateful and highly recommend him to anyone seeking expert spine and nerve care.

This is the second time that I have been to see Dr Dhake. I am very happy with the outcome and mostly with his detailed explanation regarding the issue that I’m facing.
I feel that Dr Dhake tries to get to the bottom of the problem rather than just diagnose unneeded treatment. Dr is very friendly and amicable and explain every thing to you in layman terms.
I highly recommend Dr Dhake for any spine or orthopaedic related issues.

I had been suffering from severe L4–L5 spinal stenosis and, due to my weight, I was extremely worried about both the condition and the surgery. I was barely able to walk before the operation.
Dr. Rakesh Dhake performed my spine surgery, and I am truly grateful for his expertise and care. It has been just 15 days since the surgery, and I am already feeling significantly better and able to move much more comfortably.
He explained everything clearly, handled my case with ***** confidence, and gave me the reassurance I needed during a very stressful time. I sincerely thank him for giving me my mobility and confidence back.
Highly recommended for anyone dealing with spine problems.

I visited Zen Spine Clinic, Malad for my mother’s treatment after she sustained a spine bone fracture due to a fall at home. My mother has multiple comorbidities with low heart pumping, diabetes, so her case was not straightforward. Despite this, Dr. Rakesh handled her treatment with great care and confidence, making the entire process smooth and stress-free for us. Due to heavy traffic, we reached the clinic a couple of hours late, yet Dr. Rakesh patiently waited for us and gave us his full attention. He carefully listened to all of my mother’s concerns, reviewed her past medical history in detail, and explained the treatment options clearly. He advised an MRI scan and mentioned that the further course — whether oral medication or a vertebroplasty — would depend on the findings. My mother was exhausted from the long journey, and the doctor was kind enough to let her rest comfortably, even though it was well past his working hours. When we expressed the need for immediate hospitalization, as my mother could not manage the pain at home, he personally arranged for an ambulance to ensure her safe transfer. Based on the MRI results, Dr. Rakesh recommended vertebroplasty, which he performed exactly as planned. The procedure went smoothly, and he continued to remain accessible afterward — always available to answer our calls and messages with patience and kindness. What truly stood out was his humility and genuine concern for the patient. In an age where many focus only on procedures, Dr. Rakesh maintains a compassionate rapport with both the patient and the family, which plays a major role in the healing process. ** **** **** *** ***** **** ** **** ** ******* **** ******* ***** **** *** ********* ********* ****** *** ************ ***** I sincerely thank Dr. Rakesh for his dedication, empathy, and professionalism. He is a rare combination of skill, patience, and compassion — truly a doctor who treats both the illness and the person. My heartfelt rating: ***** (5/5). Wishing him continued success and many more lives touched by his good work.
