Dr. Rahul Kalekar

Dr. Rahul Kalekar is a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon practicing at Star Ortho & Women Care Clinic in Wakad, Pune. He brings a comprehensive academic background in orthopaedic surgery — holding both the DNB (Diplomate of National Board) in Orthopaedics and a D.ORTHO (Diploma in Orthopaedics) — alongside a prestigious Fellowship in Joint Replacement Surgery (FIJR), which reflects his advanced training in knee and hip joint replacement procedures.

Dr. Kalekar is known for his patient-first philosophy: thorough examination, clear communication, and a strong preference for conservative management before considering surgery. He believes that the best outcomes emerge from an accurate diagnosis, appropriate non-surgical treatment where possible, and carefully selected surgical intervention when genuinely needed.

His expertise spans the full spectrum of orthopaedics — from common presentations like knee pain and joint pain in working adults and the elderly, to complex joint replacement surgeries, sports injuries in athletes, fracture management, and occupational conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome and trigger finger that affect professionals in the Hinjewadi and Wakad IT corridor.

The clinic operates in the evening (5–9 PM, every day), making it exceptionally convenient for working professionals and families in Wakad, Pimple Saudagar, Baner, and Hinjewadi to access specialist orthopaedic care without disrupting their work schedules.
