Dr Kiran Kharat - Pune

My mother was diagnosed with osteoarthritis about 4 years ago. She had kept on managing the pain and pushing off surgery due to other responsibilities like most selfless mothers do. She also had a crooked knee joint due to a fall in the past. We met Dr Kiran Kharat recently from a recommended source and he quickly was able to accurately diagnose the extent of the damage of the knee joints; decided that both knees would need to be operated based on the minimization of surgery risk and the condition of other co-morbidities of the patient and status of the knees; left being the worst and first to be operated on and based on the vital signs during surgery the right knee would be replaced. He gave my Mom so much confidence before and during our hospital stay that she was convinced he is the right person to operate on her and willingly underwent the complex surgery. He and his efficient team not only fixed and replaced both the knees but also fixed the crooked knee joint during surgery. He also advised the correct directions before, during and post operative care. He is extremely truthful, transparent and meticulous with his approach. I have seen countless doctors, hospitals and surgeons from an early age due to family related health issues and was simply amazed at the greatness and simplicity Dr Kiran possesses. A good Doctor is trained to have the knowledge, expertise, skills and patient care. A good surgeon is required to have all the above with the added stress on “experience, skills and meticulousness”. Dr Kiran exceeds all of the above with a touch of elegance, class compassion and humility. He is undoubtedly the best Orthopedic Surgeon in the country based on my interaction and having seen him working on his other patients. He treats his patients with compassion with a goal to cure their troubles. A Very noble quality in this day and age. Dr Kiran has a happy and enthusiastic attitude towards his work, patients and clearly based on all the above facts I highly recommend Dr Kiran to give a new life for any patient’s joints who has Othopaedic issues.

Dr Kiran Kharat did a Right Total Hip Replacement Surgery for my mother in 2015. The surgery was so skilfully done and for the first time in years my mother could walk without pain. Infact in three months time she even danced at her grand daughter's wedding without any pain . As my mother suffers from osteoarthritis when her other hip starting giving her trouble she opted for a Left Total Hip Replacement and once again Dr. Kiran Kharat performed the surgery last month. My mother is 83 year old and he reassured us that there was nothing to worry about despite her age and gave her great confidence. And ...sure enough the surgery is a great success and she is on her way to good recovery. We highly recommend him as an extremely skilful, kind, caring and competent doctor. Thank you Dr. Kiran Kharat for making my mother's life pain free and mobile . Farida Vachha 17 September 2021.

Dr Kharat is not only one of the best in his field he is also very caring and goes an extra mile to ensure his patients are taken care off per and post surgery. He is one of the most humble doctors I have come across and I have come across many due to my circumstances.

My mother developed pain in Knee pain 3 years ago on the right leg and was not able to walk properly. We consulted Dr. Kiran Kharat, and he reviewed the X-ray, diagnosed the knee problem and recommended Knee replacement surgery. We were initially worried and scared, however Dr. Kiran explained and gave us confidence. We went through the knee procedure at Columbia Asia and it went smoothly. We had an excellent experience with Dr. Kiran. Clearly, he is one of the best Surgeons of India for all kinds of Orthopaedic related matters. My mother recovered well after the procedure and was able to walk without any problems. She appeared more confident and happiness was evident on her face, as she had a big relief from a painful life. Last month, my mother started having a similar pain but this time in her left leg. We consulted Dr. Kiran again, he quickly reviewed the state and suggested a similar procedure for her left leg too. Without hesitance she agreed to go ahead with the procedure as she had a comfort feel from the earlier experience. Dr. Kiran performed the Knee replacement procedure for the left leg at Columbia Asia Hospital itself and it went well this time too. Technology has advanced and Dr. Kiran has adapted it well. He provided us with the timely updates about the procedure and recovery status while my Mother was hospitalised. Even after the procedure he reviewed the progress and provided all the guidance for the recovery. Dr. Kiran is very clear in his communication, generous and kind hearted, yet perfect and expert at his work and knowledge. He is down to earth, prompt and approachable. He understands his domain very well, provides his honest guidance, communicates very well with the patients and offers all kinds of help needed. It's not just the treatment or surgery procedure but he also induces a confidence in the patient which helps with faster recovery. In summary, he is simply unique and works at a level above expectations. I would strongly recommend Dr. Kiran without a second thought for any Ortho issues. I wish him all the best for the kind work he is doing.

I had an ACL tear in my knee in 1995. At the time, I was talked out of any ACL related surgery and was instead asked to do some physiotherapy. I did the physiotherapy then, but this injury was degenerative and I kept having episodes of my knee getting locked or experiencing my knee buckle at times. I was an active club level cricket player at the time and had to give up on my dreams of taking it forward. From 1998-2012, I was in the US and due to the degenerative episodes of the knee, I had to undergo arthroscopy to take care of a torn meniscus in the same knee. Again, I was advised against ACL re-construction by my friends and family from back home. Fast forward to 2015, the knee had gotten worse, the buckling episodes happened unpredictably. I couldn't play TT or run after my toddler either. By now I was in India and through my mom's reference, I decided to consult Dr. Kharat. His clinical diagnosis and then matching it up with what presented in the X-ray or MRI's got me very confident about him. He explains with pictures to the patient in layman's terms of what the injury is and how he intends to fix it. He also exuded confidence and I could visualize getting a good knee post ACL re-construction and getting back to playing active sports. Well, its been 7 years since the surgery and I am very happy to note - that I've started playing badminton, table tennis ( semi-professionally ), cricket and many other sports - which earlier - I'd written off. Just recently ( last week ) - he operated on my father for an emergency hip replacement surgery and got him to sit and walk in 1 day post surgery and I can see him progressively improving. I'd recommend Dr. Kharat for anything related to orthopaedics.

I am very grateful to Dr.Kiran.Kharat I was bedridden for one year and was unable to walk, i had lost all my hopes, but doctor counselled me and operated my left knee TKR in 2015 and the right knee TKR in 2016 with unmatched skills and I am so happy to be able to stand on my feet and an able to walk very well without losing my balance. Unfortunately I met with an accident in 2019 but i was so sure that i would not go to any other doctor i called him up and he sought arrangements to perform the required surgery which was a unilateral hip replacement surgery. I am walking and healthy this is all because of the grace of Jesus Christ and the hard work and dedication that doctor Kiran Kharats puts into each of his patients well being. So lucky to have found him.

My mom got operated for Total Knee Replacement of her right knee from Dr. Kharat last month. He is an extremely humble doctor. His behaviour is such that it soothes patient's anxiety. He is very calm and gives utmost time to each and every patient. The best part is his accessibility...any time of the day whenever we had doubts regarding medicines, symptoms..we messaged him and within seconds we had his reply. He is very approachable and experienced in his field of expertise. Best wishes to Sir from all my family members ?

Dr Kiran Kharat is an amazing surgeon and an empathetic person by nature. He is humble by nature, which is ingrained in the way he interacts and cares for his patients + their family. Dr Kharat recently successfully performed Partial Knee Replacement for my Mother, and throughout the experience he has stayed by our side always available to answer our queries and help us along. We could not have chosen a better Doctor and individual for the operation and I'm glad that we crossed paths. I highly recommend him, not only because of his experience but also because his skills are exceptional and he's a true ally.
