Senior Lady Doctor from Kalyan brought back on her feet to run her geriatric care center by Drs at KIMS Hospitals, Thane

Thane, June 2025 : Doctors who are caregivers also require care like all of us. To keep us healthy they should also be healthy. Dr. Jadhav is a medical doctor herself, and she with her husband jointly run a geriatric care center. She had chronic pain which was affecting her ability to navigate her daily life, making it more difficult for her to manage the operations of their healthcare facility and deliver care to elderly patients.

In a noteworthy example of fast recovery and superior orthopedic caregiving, just 24 hours after her partial knee replacement surgery at KIMS Hospitals, Thane, a 56-year-old patient, Dr. Surekha Jadhav from Kalyan, could again walk without pain and climb stairs.

Dr. Jadhav had experienced persistent and worsening knee pain for more than six months, greatly reducing her mobility and quality of life. What started as a minor nuisance progressively enhanced itself into a decreasingly bearable condition, crippling Dr. Jadhav’s ability to undertake her daily lifestyle independently.

When she presented to Dr. Swapnil Zambre, Orthopedic and Joint Replacement Surgeon at KIMS Hospitals, Thane, Dr. Jadhav underwent a comprehensive assessment. Imaging tests revealed a lot of fluid and extensive structural damage within the knee joint leading to inflammatory changes and severe pain. Dr. Zambre’s first step was to remove the fluid which provided immediate relief after aspiration, and then he wrote a surgical plan for a minimally invasive approach to resolve the underlying problem.

“We knew she was in distress, and we wanted to reduce the disdain and get her back into motion as soon as we could,” said Dr. Zambre. “At KIMS Hospitals, Thane we intend to offer not just a medical achievement but to return a confident, independent life to all our patients.”

In an exceptional post-operative recovery, Dr. Jadhav was able to rise to his feet, walk unassisted and climb the stairs on his own, within 24 hours of surgery; a benchmark that can take many patients days, even weeks to reach.

“I came to KIMS Hospitals, Thane because we believe in Dr. Swapnil Zambre,” said Dr. Jadhav. “He delivered as per our expectations with the care, accuracy, precision and empathy we experienced during my treatment.”

Dr. Jadhav is now recovered and free of pain. This case demonstrates how advanced surgical planning, fostered with skilful execution and timely rehab protocols to improve outcomes for patients in need, indicated & especially for patients over the age of 50.

This case demonstrates KIMS Hospitals, Thane as a Center of Excellence for  joint Replacement Surgery incorporating advanced medical techniques as well as a patient-first approach.
