A Padma Shri awardee for a reason. He performed a virtual total knee replacement for my father using patient-specific instruments. The alignment is perfect. He is very strict about post-op protocols, which I think is why his success rate is so high (98%).

he Medanta Bone & Joint Institute is like a well-oiled machine. While Dr. Rajgopal leads the strategy, his assistants are also excellent. I was impressed by the 'No-Pain' protocol they use post-surgery. Truly the gold standard for orthopedics in India.

He is a very busy 'celebrity' doctor, so don't expect long chats, but do expect world-class results. He fixed my ACL tear using a minimally invasive arthroscopic technique. I’m already back to light jogging. His surgical efficiency is legendary.

had both knees replaced at once (Bilateral TKR). Dr. Rajgopal was incredibly thorough in explaining the use of 'gender-specific' implants. My recovery was managed by a top-tier rehab team at Medanta. I am now 6 months post-op and pain-free for the first time in a decade.

I traveled from the USA for a complex revision knee surgery. Dr. Rajgopal's reputation as a 'master surgeon' is no exaggeration. At Medanta in 2025, his team used robotic assistance for my case, and I was walking within 24 hours. He is a man of immense knowledge and surgical precision.
