Lucknow has many good orthopedic doctors. Instead of relying on a “best” label, use these six checks. They apply to any specialist you are considering.
Look for a postgraduate orthopaedic qualification plus fellowship training in the area you need: joint replacement, arthroscopy or trauma.
With Dr Hatif Siddiqui: MBBS, D.Orth, DNB Ortho, MNAMS, with a Fellowship in Sports Trauma (London, UK), life membership of the Indian Arthroscopy Society, AO Trauma membership, and fellowships in Robotic Knee Arthroplasty (Lyon University, France) and Primary Total Knee Arthroplasty.
A good orthopedic doctor tells you when you do not need an operation. Be careful if surgery is suggested at the first visit without a proper examination.
With Dr Hatif Siddiqui: Treatment starts with examination, X-ray or MRI review and a trial of physiotherapy, medicines or injections where they can work. Surgery is advised only when it is the better option.
Joint replacement and fracture surgery need a modern operation theatre, ICU backup, anaesthesia team and in-house physiotherapy.
With Dr Hatif Siddiqui: Surgery is performed at Medanta Lucknow, a large tertiary-care hospital, including robotic-assisted knee replacement.
You should get a written, itemised estimate: implant, room category, stay and physiotherapy.
With Dr Hatif Siddiqui: Knee replacement is approximately ₹1.5–4 lakh for one knee and ₹3–7 lakh for both knees together, with an itemised estimate given at consultation.
Recovery needs follow-up visits. A doctor you can reach easily makes a real difference in the first six weeks.
With Dr Hatif Siddiqui: Two consultation points, Medanta (Golf City) and a clinic in Indira Nagar, plus WhatsApp for reports and follow-up questions.
Read Google reviews from patients who had the same problem as you, not just star ratings.
With Dr Hatif Siddiqui: Rated 5.0 on Google by his patients, with detailed reviews from knee replacement and orthopaedic patients.
Many bone and joint problems are easier to treat when they are seen early. See an orthopedic doctor if you notice any of these:
After a serious accident, an open wound over a fracture, or a limb that is cold, numb or badly deformed, go to the nearest emergency department immediately.
Each link below explains the condition, treatment options and recovery in detail.
Where it hurts, since when, what makes it worse, and what you have already tried.
Movement, swelling, alignment, ligament stability and walking, compared with the other side.
Review of your X-ray or MRI. If new imaging is needed, you are told exactly which test and why.
What the problem is, whether surgery is needed or not, what to try first, and, if surgery is advised, the expected recovery and an itemised cost estimate.
Patients visit from across Lucknow, including Gomti Nagar, Indira Nagar, Golf City, Sushant Golf City, Hazratganj, Aliganj, Jankipuram, Mahanagar and Chinhat, as well as from Barabanki, Sitapur, Raebareli and other districts of Uttar Pradesh.

My grandfather underwent Right Total Knee Replacement surgery at Medanta Hospital under Dr Hatif Ji. It has been 21 days since surgery and his recovery has been smooth. His walking has improved significantly and we truly appreciate the professionalism, guidance and post-operative support.

The best orthopedic doctor for you is one with specialist training in your specific problem, who examines you properly, explains non-surgical options honestly and operates in a well-equipped hospital. Dr Hatif Siddiqui is a Senior Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon at Medanta Lucknow who specialises in arthroscopic sports injury surgery, complex trauma and robotic joint replacement, with fellowship training in sports trauma (London) and robotic knee arthroplasty (Lyon).
They are the same specialist. An orthopedic doctor is trained in both non-surgical and surgical treatment of bones, joints, ligaments and muscles. Most patients are treated without surgery; an operation is advised only when it is the better option.
At Medanta Lucknow (OPD B Wing, 2nd Floor, Golf City) and at his clinic in Block A, Indira Nagar, near Khan Dairy Road.
Bring your latest X-ray or MRI (films and reports), a list of current medicines, previous prescriptions and any blood reports. If you have diabetes or heart disease, bring those records too.
Booking ahead by phone or WhatsApp is recommended so your consultation time is confirmed and waiting is shorter.
No. Many patients with knee pain, including early arthritis, improve with strengthening exercises, weight control, medicines and activity changes. Knee replacement is considered when pain and stiffness persist despite these measures and the X-ray shows advanced damage.
Approximately ₹1.5–4 lakh for one knee and ₹3–7 lakh for both knees in the same sitting. The final cost depends on the implant, robotic or conventional technique, room category and your health. An itemised estimate is given at consultation.
