About Dr. Harshil Shah
I’m an orthopedic surgeon focused on helping you move without fear. Through muscle‑preserving techniques and thoughtful recovery plans, my aim is to get you back to life quickly — sometimes with immediate post‑operative walking and minimal physiotherapy when appropriate.

Arthritis, ligament tears, rotator cuff injuries, cartilage issues.
Joint Replacement (TKR & THR)
Muscle‑sparing techniques for safer, faster recovery.

Rehabilitation Guidance
Right physiotherapy at the right time — and none when not needed.
Avascular Necrosis (AVN): Know Your Options
Surgery isn’t the only path. In selected cases, medical management and monitoring can help. Early, accurate diagnosis prevents unnecessary procedures.
- Groin pain
- Limping
- History of steroid use
- Chronic asthma
When do we consider surgery?
When pain or function doesn’t improve with medical therapy, or imaging shows progression that threatens joint health. Decisions are shared, evidence‑based, and aligned to your lifestyle.

Protects soft‑tissue for better early mobility.
