knee replacement
My name is Mohit Mathur, we came from Bangalore. My wife, aged 49, underwent total bilateral knee replacement surgery with Dr. Vikram Shah.
The whole process — from hospitalization to post-operative care — was organized at a very high level. The nurses, doctors, dietitian and entire staff showed exceptional care and professionalism. I sincerely recommend Dr. Vikram Shah to patients who need knee replacement.

knee replacement
My wife underwent left knee replacement surgery on November 26, 2024, at Krishna Shalby Hospital in Ahmedabad by Dr. Vikram Shah and his team.
Despite the treatment, physiotherapy and follow-up consultations, pain and swelling in the leg persisted, and the strength in the limb did not fully recover.

knee replacement
Several members of our family had knee replacements with Dr. Vikram Shah. Even 3 years after the surgeries, the results remain very good.
The team of doctors, nurses, physiotherapists and all staff work at a high level. Of all the hospitals in India where we have been, this is where we received the best knee treatment experience.

Knee replacement
Dr. Rameshchandra Vaidya from Indore, Madhya Pradesh, underwent joint replacement with the world-renowned surgeon Dr. Vikram Shah at Shalby Hospitals Ahmedabad. He chose the doctor because he knows him as the best joint replacement surgeon in the country. However, about 15 days after surgery, he developed a fever and, fearing it was related to the surgery, he returned to Ahmedabad. After thorough examination, Dr. Vikram Shah said the issue was unrelated to the surgery — it was a consequence of kidney disease, and referred him to a nephrologist. After 5 days of treatment, the patient feels well and is ready to go home. Full of praise for Dr. Vikram Shah, Dr. Pankaj Shah and Shalby Hospitals Ahmedabad for excellent treatment and care.

Nansata Salifu from Bolgatanga in Ghana, 65 years old, mother of four and a retired midwife. After a fall in December 2016, she sustained a hip fracture and first underwent hip replacement in early 2017 in Bawku, Ghana, but developed an infection. After six failed surgeries, she was referred to Dr. Vikram Shah at Shalby Hospital Ahmedabad. The patient's daughter says: "My mother had several failed surgeries. Here her surgery was successful, and she can walk again. Our whole family is very happy about this. I thank Dr. Vikram Shah and Krishna Shalby Hospital."

Knee osteoarthritis
The worst doctor in the world, very greedy, doesn't know the complications of total knee arthroplasty. Performs joint replacement even when the condition can be treated with medication and exercise. He has ruined many lives and there have been deaths during replacement. MCI should ban his practice.
