I first saw Dr Rathi 2 years ago when my 83 year old mother fell and fractured her shoulder. His diagnosis and treatment was excellent. The post surgery follow ups were also well organised and helpful. He was very kind and respectful to my elderly mother. He is always available to his patients inspite of his busy schedule. I ended up at Dr Rathi's clinic one more time this year. I had a fall and fractured my wrist. I do not live in India and came for a 5 weeks visit. Dr Rathi once again proved himself to be such a great surgeon. His treatment worked so well!. It was 6 months recently since my operation and the recovery of my wrist is remarkable. Dr Rathi has skills and compassion which are both very essential for a good doctor. I wish him all the best for the future.
Dr Pranav Rathi, is an excellent Dr. and surgeon. Indeed, the most treasured of the doctors and that I have been privileged to get treated by him. My right wrist was fractured in 4 pieces and I was in severe pain, however Dr. Rathi ensured that the pain reduces quickly. He provided us a detailed and an easy-to-understand explanation of the issue and assured that everything will be completed smoothly and accurately. With the ongoing covid pandemic, fetching a good hospital was pain, however he ensured that we get an admit in a non-covid hospital. An emergency surgery was scheduled within 48 hours of the incident. He ensured that appropriate care is taken at ths hospital and called at regular intervals to check on me. Eventually the surgery was successfully executed and I was discharged within 48 hrs of the surgery. Dr. also assisted us in with insurance claims and provided the required additional bills for claim purpose. Dr. Rathi took utmost care and hand-holded us at every step of the process. Everything was well explained. He was always available to guide me at every step of the process. I definitely recommend Dr. Pranav Rathi for all orthopedic needs and care.
Dr Pranav Rathi is excellent Orthopaedic Doctor. He treats the patient step by step & he is giving maximum time in explaining the treatment. The way he is explained the problem & treatment to us is easily understandable. We are very much grateful to have such a excellent Doctor.
Dr. Pranav Rathi is an excellent orthopaedic doctor cum surgeon and a true gem of a person.I was diagnosed with L4-L5 lumbar nerve compression wherein the disc was completely damaged and required immediate surgery in next 24-48 hrs. I was in tremendous pain as my left leg functioning had weakened (amlost foot drop) and I could barely walk. It was a panic situation for myself and my family. Dr. Pranav Rathi's detailed and speedy guidance made the entire medical journey simpler for all of us. Although I am residing in Thane i had complete faith for Dr. Pranav Rathi based in Andheri. Dr. Pranav Rathi made all the swift and seamless arrangements in Andheri and made me comfortable. Dr. Pranav Rathi, operated me specifically for a major spine surgery - laminectomy+disectomy. Like a magician he operated successfully. Today I am recovering under his supervision. Myself and family will always remain grateful to Dr. Pranav Rathi for being such a wonderful doctor and human being. Thanks for the medical treatment and continuous support!! Well wisher and regards, Neelasha Thakurdesai.
Dr Pranav Rathi is not only an excellent orthopaedic surgeon, he is a magician in orthopaedic surgery. My dad fell down at night and broke his hip bone. He was in immense pain and Dr Rathi immediately helped in getting him admitted. Dr Rathi also helped in quick completion of formalities for surgery. Dr Rathi did the surgery meticulously and my dad was able to stand up the next day and began walking 2 days after surgery.
I was introduced to Dr. Pranav Rathi by a family Friend. Very patiently he listened to the problems I was facing and then demonstrated with help of props what he thinks the issue is. Than very gently he applied some pressure and showed the difference in movement of leg and concluded that it was a tear of Achilis Tendon, a very common athletic injury which I had suffered while playing badminton. I was recommended for an immediate surgery for the same, He advised, if left untreated it would only worsen the condition. He also recommended me to get USG done so he could microscoply pin point the operational area and the surgery is minimally invasive. All routine test such as blood test, ECG, covid test etc as recommended by him along with MRI were conducted and he accepted all reports even on whatsapp since covid restricted our frequent visits and started preparation for surgery after my consent. 3 days later as per my convenient time I was operated at a Hospital nearby. Before the start of Operation, I was explained in detail the procedure from this point on for surgery to full recovery.
