About Dr. Rakesh Mahajan
Dr. Mahajan is Vice Chairman & Head of the Centre for Orthopedics at BLK–Max Super Speciality Hospital. He’s spent 35 years handling simple injuries and messy joint problems. He does joint replacements, arthroscopy, and treats joint diseases that get worse over time.
He usually prefers to begin with non-surgical options when possible. He first tries physiotherapy, fixing your posture, dropping weight, and guided exercises. A lot of people get relief without ever needing an operation. Surgery only comes up when nothing else works or the joint’s too damaged. He trained in Singapore and South Africa with fellowships in joint replacement and sports trauma. That international experience helps him tackle complicated cases that need careful handling.
