Dr. Pratik Desai

While being very passionate on the football field I suffered from ACL ligament tear. I took physiotherapy treatment for 2 months at the hospital that I was diagnosed but my knee was still buckling. I then realized that though it was a reputed ortho hospital the physiotherapy services for me were very ineffective as I kept doing the same set of exercises for two months without any progress. As it was not working out for me I searched on Practo for a Physio with the best rating and reviews and decided to try Zelus. On taking an appointment, Dr. Pratik explained very clearly and politely what I need and charted a 3 months plan after which he assured me I will be back on the football and badminton field. I was startled that on Day 1 of Physio session itself he set my knee right and I was able to walk normally without buckling. Dr Pratik and his staff were extremely sensitive, polite and caring throughout while giving me Sports Physiotherapy to help me recover completely from my ACL tear. I started with range of motion and strengthening exercises and later progressed to agility and neuro muscular training specific to the sports which I wanted to play. It was very heartening to see Dr Pratik give me confidence and motivation that I would recover well every time he helps me do the physio. Another big advantage is that Zelus has 5 branches and we are given the flexibility to avail the physio from any of the branches at no extra cost. That way I could strike my work life balance by taking sometimes from near to my office and sometimes near to my home. I am on the last month of my physio and I am delighted to share that I will be hitting the Football field and badminton court next month. Kudos to Zelus.

** In the modern day when it is very difficult to trust a doctor or a clinic, these guys are an exception. They do not do something different like giving major discounts but are genuine and follow the basic principles. Dr Pratik is a remarkable person very cool way of explaining things. He first allows the patient to describe their problems, looks into prescription if any, then asks his questions, assesses the movements, range and strength in simple steps to come to a conclusion and suggest the treatment. His way of treatment can seem longer but is natural and promising. I had a shoulder injury- dislocation(right) while mishandling my motorbike. After 3 weeks of immobiliser I was asked to see a Physio therapist. I am very particular in selecting my consultants and after seeing 2 physio therapists, I went to Pratik. Pratik took his time, assessed me and explained to me what is possible and how much time to do it. Just like all other clinics and treatment centres they have plans but let me highlight this: I was NOT pushed or compelled to take one. I was given the choice to chose and no discussions whatsoever. Do you need anything else to say they are not money minded? I have seen great progress and have achieved full range and motion on my shoulder, as of now. We are still working on improving the strength and I am quite confident about the results. Pros: Absolutely amazing doctors and staff Very skilled and knowledgable Spread across 3 clinics in Bengaluru and Dr Pratik manages to visit all 3 clinics on a scheduled plan The staff are equally competent and supportive The equipment used is latest and maintained very well Immaculate clinic premises Very open and honest feedback about what to expect Very organised staff w.r.t. appointments and treatments/sessions Wouldn’t say one to one attention during the sessions but at least one person is available to seek advise/refer i.e. personal attention Regular follow up check ups on the progress Parking for two wheeler Pricing is in line with time and effort dedicated to a patient Modes of payment- Cash, Card and PayTm Rest room available Seating area Cons: Four wheeler parking may be a concern Entry is in a narrow lane making it difficult to notice for first timer

Dr. Prateek is calm, composed and knows his craft. I reached out to Dr. Prateek as my mother had undergone bilateral TKR and a couple of key parameters were not improving and I was worried. He did a thorough evaluation and chalked out a plan with goals & timelines. He assigned Physiotherapist Kavipriya (under his supervision) to work with my mother. Within a week I started to see measurable improvements and after a month my mother showed marked improvement overall (Range of motion, mobility & balance); her confidence also improved. I must mention throughout this time; Dr. Prateek did regular check ins & answered all my queries patiently. I am happy with the outcome and will definitely recommend Dr. Prateek. I also want to give a Big Shout Out to Kavipriya Ma’am; she is driven, very hardworking & sincere, * ** She put in a lot of hard work (a lot!) and would come up with different strategies to get effective results. Thank You Kavipriya-I am so impressed with you!

I had a chronic lower back pain for past fourteen years. Till date I had tried almost all the possible treatments, but none of that had helped. Being an IT professional, sitting is something unavoidable and that just added more to my pain. I had almost given up all hopes of getting rid of my pain. Zelus was the last option I decided to try. I met Dr. Pratik, who keenly analysed my pain areas and suggested a one month treatment. He explained the step by step approach for the treatment which included first reducing the pain, then increase muscle flexibility and then give strength to the muscles. Accordingly I started my sessions. And that's where all magic began! Within 2 weeks all my pain vanished. Dr. Saloni took care that my every session was conducted correctly. They kept taking my feedback after every session, so that they can take appropriate action if need be. I really thanks Dr. Pratik & Dr. Saloni for the treatment and the care they took during my treatment. My 14 year old pain has gone in just 1 month, all thanks to them. Once again many thanks !!

Dr. Pratik Desai has a very detailed way of diagnosing and explains the problem clearly. His treatment suggestions are genuinely for my benefit and not commercially driven, which sets him apart from other physiotherapists.

I visited this clinic shortly after undergoing MPFL surgery and initially arrived using a walker. Thanks to the dedicated care, expert physiotherapy, and consistent support from the team, I was able to start walking again within just a few weeks.The physiotherapists and doctor ( Mr.Prateek) are not only highly skilled but also incredibly approachable and compassionate. I would especially like to express my heartfelt thanks to Kavi, who went above and beyond in her care. She managed all her patients with genuine empathy and professionalism, always making sure I felt supported and motivated throughout my recovery journey.I truly appreciate the excellent treatment and positive atmosphere at the clinic. Highly recommended for anyone seeking quality physiotherapy.
