We went to Dr Devendra Dave mainly because many people in Ghaziabad said he is very experienced orthopaedic surgeon and also does robotic joint surgeries. My uncle had severe knee pain while walking and climbing stairs for many years.
At the clinic they did Xray there itself, which was convenient. Doctor showed us the Xray and explained that the knee cartilage has worn out because of advanced osteoarthritis.
He discussed different treatment options but finally suggested robotic knee replacement as the best solution because pain had become too much. He also explained recovery process clearly so we were mentally prepared.
Surgery went well and uncle stayed in hospital around 3 days. Physiotherapy started soon after with exercises like quadriceps strengthening, straight leg raises and walking practice with walker.
Within 5–6 weeks he was walking inside house comfortably, which was a big relief for our family.
One thing to keep in mind is that Dr Dave’s clinic is always full of patients coming from areas like Sahibabad, Indirapuram and Rajendra Nagar, so taking appointment beforehand is better but ensure to call before coming because they keep pushing appointments because doctor takes 15-20 minutes with each patient so appointments are not accurate, do take one but do not go to the clinic without calling or you will have to wait while each patient takes a lot of time. when i went i had to wait 30-40 minutes that too for only 2 patients who had appointments before me.
