Rotator cuff tear of the shoulder
Patient: Babita Gupta.
I want to express sincere gratitude for the right shoulder rotator cuff repair surgery performed on my mother.
The whole process — from preoperative consultation to postoperative care — was organized at a high level, with professionalism and clear explanations.

Rotator cuff tear of the shoulder
I am grateful to Dr. Rakesh Mahajan and his team for excellent treatment.
I suffered from a left shoulder rotator cuff tear for four months, after which I went to Dr. Mahajan.
He performed an excellent arthroscopic surgery at BLK MAX Hospital on Pusa Road.
Now I feel well.
I also thank coordinator Mr. Bheem for his help at the hospital.

Knee replacement surgery
Very disappointed and consider the doctor inexperienced. Both knee replacement surgeries performed by Dr. Rakesh Mahajan at BLK MAX Hospital turned out to be unsuccessful.
Even after the surgery I told him that it had been done incorrectly, as the pain was severe and the shape of my legs had become deformed (O-shaped). However, he kept assuring me that the surgery was performed correctly.
Later his junior doctor and other specialists recommended a repeat surgery. After many discussions Dr. Mahajan acknowledged that the surgery was unsuccessful.
Now I am undergoing treatment at AIIMS, where the doctors officially stated in their report that the surgery was performed incorrectly.
Later Dr. Mahajan told me that I could go to the consumer protection court for financial compensation, since they cannot do anything more.
I have all the documents and evidence of medical malpractice, so I categorically do not recommend going to this doctor.

We came to Dr. Rakesh Mahajan at Max Hospital for knee replacement surgery for my father.
He is a very friendly doctor and explained everything in detail and clearly.
Not only the doctor, but his entire team turned out to be very responsive.
Special thanks to assistant Bharat, who helped us at every stage — from hospitalization to questions after discharge.

Severe knee osteoarthritis
Hello. My mother suffered from severe knee pain over the past 10 years, and her condition gradually worsened. Her spine was also affected.
Knee replacement was recommended, but my mother hesitated for a long time about the surgery. However, the quality of life kept declining.
That's when I learned about Dr. Rakesh Mahajan — an experienced joint replacement specialist. After examination, he recommended replacement of both knee joints as the only option.
He and his team professionally guided us through every stage of the treatment. The surgery was performed at BLK Max Hospital on 17.06.2023 and went successfully.
We didn't rush with the review and waited for the stitches to be removed, which happened on 10.07.2023.
Now my mother is happy, feels relief and is free from pain.
I, my mother and our entire family are grateful to Dr. Mahajan and his team for a new active life.
Special thanks to Dr. Pramod, coordinator Bharat and the entire team.
I recommend everyone who needs knee replacement to consult Dr. Rakesh Mahajan.

Special and heartfelt thanks to Dr. Pramod Pasari, who gave my mother complete confidence and motivated her for the surgery, and performed a wonderful operation.

Chronic shoulder pain, arthroscopic surgery
My mother had severe shoulder pain. For 3–4 years she could only sleep on one side and went through many sleepless nights. Many doctors prescribed painkillers and calcium, which gave only temporary relief. Eventually I went to Dr. Mahajan at BLK Max — it was by chance, I knew nothing about him in advance. Based on the X-ray studies he recommended arthroscopic surgery. The surgery was successfully performed in December 2021. For 14 months now my mother has felt fine and can sleep on either side.

Knee replacement, general experience
Excellent experience at BLK, blessings. A wonderful experience. Both Dr. Mahajan and Dr. Pramod are highly qualified, experienced and welcoming doctors. We didn't expect that knee replacement could be so comfortable. Very satisfied. The support staff — Mr. Bheem and Mr. Bharat — are highly responsive, polite and manage the whole process well.
