01

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions β€” Prayagraj Patients

How do I get Dr. Gupta's opinion on my knee or hip problem from Prayagraj without travelling? β–Ύ
Use the free WhatsApp MRI review. Take clear photos of your MRI scans or save the report as a PDF, then send them directly to Dr. Gupta on WhatsApp. He personally reviews every scan and responds with a clear clinical assessment within 24 to 48 hours β€” at no cost and with no need to register anywhere.
How far is Prayagraj from Apollomedics Hospital in Lucknow? β–Ύ
Prayagraj is approximately 200 km from Lucknow, roughly a 3 to 3.5 hour drive via the Lucknow-Agra Expressway. Many patients also travel by train (the Lucknow-Allahabad Shatabdi and Intercity Express are convenient options). For knee replacement patients, Dr. Gupta's 2-day discharge protocol minimises the time you need to spend away from home.
Is Dr. Gupta the best option for knee replacement surgery for patients from Prayagraj? β–Ύ
Dr. Gupta's qualifications β€” FIAA from Singapore General Hospital, MRCS from Edinburgh, and FIFA Medical Diploma from Barcelona β€” are held by fewer than 1% of orthopaedic surgeons in India. Combined with Apollomedics' world-class infrastructure including a robotic surgery suite, this level of expertise is not readily available in Prayagraj or most tier-2 cities in Uttar Pradesh. Most patients from Prayagraj find the 200 km journey well worthwhile.
Does Dr. Gupta always recommend surgery? β–Ύ
No. Dr. Gupta prioritises non-surgical treatment wherever clinically appropriate. Options including PRP therapy, GFC injections, stem cell therapy, and structured physiotherapy are explored before any surgical recommendation is made. Many patients from Prayagraj who arrived expecting surgery have avoided operations entirely under his care.
What is robotic knee replacement? Is it better than conventional surgery? β–Ύ
Robotic-assisted knee replacement uses a surgical system to plan and execute the implant placement with a higher degree of precision than manual technique alone. This can result in better alignment, reduced soft tissue trauma, faster recovery, and longer implant life β€” particularly for younger and more active patients. Dr. Gupta is one of the few surgeons in North India outside Delhi performing robotic TKR.
What should I bring for my first consultation if I am travelling from Prayagraj? β–Ύ
Bring all previous MRI scans and X-rays (physical films or digital copies on a CD), any blood test reports, a list of current medications, and a summary of your symptoms and how long you have had them. If you have already shared your MRI on WhatsApp, Dr. Gupta will have reviewed it before you arrive, making the consultation more efficient.
