Dr. Saraf is a very calm person and since day 1 has been positive about getting Knee replacement surgery done for my mother. She was suffering from knee pain for quite a few years, however everything changed when we met Dr. Saraf. Surgery went well and Dr. kept on assuring us about the recovery and post surgery treatments. It has been around a month since the surgery and my mother is recovering well. Thanks to Dr. Saraf and his team, he has been a blessing for us.

Hello, I am Srujana Joshi and I tore my ACL while playing basketball in the US in September 2022. Due to several constraints, I could not get operated on the ACL in the US. I reached out to our family orthopedic doctor Dr. Hrishikesh Saraf and he guided me with medicines remotely from India. I finally came back to India in May 2023 and after a brief period of checking and readiness for surgery, Dr Saraf operated on me within a week of coming back to India. I got operated on for a full ACL reconstruction surgery. Dr. Saraf did an outstanding job with the surgery and gave me so much confidence with a very structured program for physiotherapy. My accelerated physiotherapy, appropriate for an athlete, was done under the supervision of Janhvi Kelkar at Joints Clinic, Karve Road. I have to applaud Janhvi ma’am for very quickly understanding my medical profile and available time before I headed back to the US to complete my education. After several structured but grueling sessions ( 3 per week) for 2 months, I am now 90% recovered and not only able to walk but also able to do advanced steps like jumping and squatting. I was extremely impressed with her knowledge, experience, dedication, and confidence during these 2 months. She made use of several tools and techniques to holistically heal the knee. I am now back in the US but Janhvi Ma’am continues to help me through video calls on my Physio sessions. I cannot express my sincere thanks and gratitude to Dr. Saraf and his team for helping me get to normalcy in less than 3 months after my surgery. Thank you, doctor!

Dr. Hrushikesh Saraf is expert Robotic Surgeon. I had problem for both the knee joints. After examining the X- Ray of both legs, he advised total knee replacement (TKR) of both knees simultaneously. With history of Hyperbilirubin, Hypertension, also history of hyperacidity, acid reflux, mild coloitis and IBS , he planned the post operative medication of antibiotic, pain managament medicines very cleaverly so that I had minimum problems of diarrhea or constipation after surgery. He gave me courage to withstand both legs surgery same time. Told me that the robotic surgery will have minimum blood loss and both legs operation will finish in 2 hours. Which he did successfully. Under his guidance the post operative rehabilitation by Physiotherapy is very important and that was given by Physiotherapist Janhavi Kelkar with taking exercises regularly every day. So that I was able to walk without Walker or stick within 15 days after operation. Also after one month I could walk on slopes and in covered car parking corridors and also climb the staircase without any support or help Successfully. As promised by Dr. Saraf, that I will be able to drive the 4 wheeler car after 2 months, which I did it 2 days back when I have completed 2 months of operation. Last but not the least, the Shashvat Hospital staff gave excellent support during my hospital stay and also helped me to get maximum possible insurance coverage of Mediclaim policy I have. Overall experience of Robotic TKR surgery by Dr. Saraf is 5 out of 5. Also Physiotherapy support by Ms. Janhavi Kelkar is 5 out of 5. So if you are diagnosed with total knee replacement then I strongly recommend to go for Robotic surgery by Dr. Saraf and his team of Physiotherapy experts.
Dr. Saraf Sir and his team is very humble, Dr. takes care of his patients very well. On November 2019 he done my left knee replacement surgery and second day he done left hip replacement surgery as well on January 2024 he done my right knee replacement surgery. After all surgeries now I am feeling better and my life is getting happier day by day. I wish him many thanks for bringing me back to my normal life. 🙏💐🙏
Dr. Saraf Sir gave me confidence on 2019 for my left lage knee and hip replacement surgery in two days and after surgery really what a relief from pain, free movements and on January 2024 he done my right knee replacement, now I feel more comfortable, more easy movements and doing my daily routine without fear, THANKS A LOT TO DR. SARAF SIR AND HIS ENTIRE TEAM FOR BRINGING SMILE ON MY FACE. 🙏😊💐

My right knee hurts while walking and I have a limp. Therefore, the thought of surgery started in the head. As Hrushikesh Sarafa is a renowned expert in robotic surgery, I went to Shashwat Hospital and got both knees checked. Doctors suggested robotic surgery for the right knee. Accordingly, The operation went well. 3/4 days after the operation I took a walker to do some knee exercises After Chabayan Lugle operation A physiotherapist was required. So Dr. Saraf sent Dr Asmita Shah for physiotherapy, she also came to us regularly for three weeks - she got me some good exercise and I am now able to walk a short distance with a stick at home without carrying a stick. Daily exercise. It's going to happen. The house has started a little bit. Dr. about total recovery after Op Rekhan. Pushikesh Saraf and Dr. Thanks to both Asmita Shah! Sau Suvarna Joshi

As per Dr. Saraf Sir's instructions, on the 25th of April Voji Dakhan is being done in Shashtav Hospital. Both my knees were successfully operated. We had a lot of questions in our minds. But after discussing with Sir, self-confidence came for operation. Dr. Saraf Sir is very friendly and reassuring in nature- He suggested us for 21 days post-operation, and physiotherapy and referred me to Asmata Shah Madam due to her guidance I am able to walk fully. Shah Madam was very supportive and knowledgeable during Saptar and was taking care of her systematically Also, the staff in the branch hospital is very helpful. Yours, Suresh Atre

I was very pleased to meet Dr. Saraf on 14-June-2024 at his OPD. Dr. Saraf pleasing manner & explanations, I was convinced on need of surgery on my left knee. Left knee surgery was successfully performed on 26-June-2024 at Shaswat Hospital. Physiotherapist Mrs. Janvi Kelkar trained me the Phisiotherapy Exercises. I wish to express sense of gratitude, and many thanks to Dr. Saraf, all operating staff, and nursing staff with love & care & to Mrs. Janvhi Kelkar for training me in Phisio exercise by visiting home for 10 days. Once again lot of thanks to Dr. Saraf, to whom I shall remain indebted. Sudhakar Khare
Very humble and helpful to everyone. Done my both left and right knee replacement surgery as well left hip replacement surgery. Now I am back to work. Feeling much better after surgeries. Thanks a lot Dr. Saraf Sir.
I was suffering from Frozen Shoulder of left hand. There was very less movement of my left hand due to severe pain for almost last one year. I was unable to do routine work such as wearing shirt, combing, etc. Thanks to Dr. Saraf for perfect diagnosis and very good treatment as well. Special thanks to Janhavi Kelkar Mam for her efforts during physiotherapy (Matrix Treatment as well as Excercise). Really appreciate her true efforts during excercise which resulted in to increase in my hand's range without pain in just 20-25 days physiotherapy sessions.
My first consultation visit to Dr. Saraf's clinic was on 14-June-2024. Dr. Saraf pleasing personality, warmth and attention to me was top class. As a result, I could decide to go ahead with robotic knee surgery following the required test. On 26-June-2024 the surgery was successfully performed in Shashwat Hospital, Pune. Dr. Saraf visited me on 27-June & on 28-June-2024 to inquire about my well being. He advised Phisiotherapy Exercises under supervision of Physiotherapist Mrs. Janvhi Kelkar at my home for 2 weeks. Mrs. Janvhi Kelkar was very pleasing & warm person and taught and took exercises for ten days and continue even now. I am extremely happy now post surgery and like to share gratitude with thanks to Dr. Saraf and Mrs. Janvhi Kelkar and all the concerned staff of Shashwat Hospital for the loving care during the three days stay at Shashwat Hospital.
Extremely happy with doctor Saraf, for his reach out, that made me very relaxed &. comfotable. And, I could decide to quickly go ahead with the operation. Post Operation his visits to the room & interaction before giving me discharge touched my heart. So also, dear Janhvi, who taught me the exercises, I found her to be very warm, and very good guide in teaching me exercise. Thanks a lot to Dr. Saraf and Janvhi.

I had both knee replacements. Very good experience. Thank you, Dr. Rishikesh Saraf.
I am Gp Capt Ravindra Mokashi. Underwent both knees TKR. At the onset a week before I was thoroughly medically examined and cleared for operation by Dr Mundle. Dr Saraf thereafter took over and planned my operation at a convenient date. Doctor interacted with me and my family and made us very comfortable. Was advised one leg at a time which put me at ease. डॉ Deshpande anethesised me making me again very comfortable by communicating with me in OT.डॉ Saraf being a skilled person i didn't realise when the operation was over.Post operation follow up was closed monitered. All OT staff, sisters, male staff assistance were very polite,dedicated,courteous and had constantly atteneded me at odd hours post operation. Hence when I Underwent second leg Operation didn't feel anything and was totally relaxed and confidently. First and forecast Dr Saraf name and reputation in Doctors fraternity was fully endorsed as a thorough professional which I personally experienced pre, during and post operation. I am now on recovery path having been just operated. I fully endorse Sashwat Hospital Kothrud , Dr Saraf, its staff, sisters and not forgetting ever helpingq Mamas Mr Shivaji, Rahul and others as one of the best facilities in Pune area.Congratulations. Dr Saraf my best wishes to you personally for your expertise and skills being used for a noble cause.

A few years back, my Mother had both knèe replacement surgeries done by Dr Hrushikesh Saraf. Recently, my aunt's replacement was done & she is walking completely fine & recovered, and to thank Dr. Saraf, m very much happy to see the results. During the process, Dr Asmita Shah was our physiotherapist, and she did her job with great care and dedication. All the Shashwat hospital staff are very cooperative and decent. The hospital is neat and clean. We are very happy with the replacement and highly recommend Dr Hrushikesh Saraf Sir for knee replacement surgery.
