Six questions patients and caregivers ask us, answered with the volume behind each and the literature that backs it.
How safe is robotic joint replacement in Dr. Ramneek Mahajan's hands?
0+
robotic joint replacements on the MAKO system. The learning-curve cliff is real - surgeons who performed less than 100 cases were twofold more likely to have complications (20.2% vs 9.8%, p<0.05).
How experienced is Dr. Ramneek Mahajan as an orthopaedic surgeon?
0+
lifetime orthopaedic surgeries across joint replacement, arthroscopy, trauma and spine. Years like this teach what's normal, what's rare, and how to handle both.
How many knee replacements has Dr. Ramneek Mahajan performed?
0+
knee replacements. Every patient's knee is different - bone, ligaments, prior wear. At this volume, the right implant follows from reading the knee, not picking a brand.
How long has Dr. Ramneek Mahajan's team been doing revision joint replacements?
0+
years of revision practice, many on patients who came to us after another surgeon's primary surgery failed. Long enough to know what fails, why, and how to make the next surgery hold.
How does Dr. Ramneek Mahajan choose the right approach for hip replacement?
0+
hip replacements across several surgical approaches (front, side, back). At this volume, we pick the approach for the patient, not the other way round.
Has Dr. Ramneek Mahajan's work been published in peer-reviewed journals?
0+
peer-reviewed papers + 3 book chapters. Includes ongoing research on Indian patients' shinbone shape, which matters for implant design and surgical technique.
The next family member doesn't go to a surgeon who messed up the first one
Google Reviews from families who made that choice twice. Some brought another family member after the first surgery. Others came here to fix what another surgeon got wrong.
