- I thoroughly recommend Mr. Mahaluxmivala. He was extremely kind and thorough, talking through and explaining my MRI and X-ray results in a manner I could understand during my consultation and at no time did I feel rushed. He has given me a way forward by means of an injection of dye into my hip after which the situation should become clearer as to the direction my clinical path needs to be taken. If I need surgical intervention than I know that I will be in safe hands with Mr. Mahaluxmivala.
- I highly recommend Mr. Mahaluxmivala and the teams at The Rivers Hospital. He performed my second total knee replacement (TKR) in Sept 2025, 8 years after a successful first TKR. Both surgeries allowed me to continue a demanding police career until retirement and other challenging roles afterward. A highly respected professional, Mr. Mahaluxmivala listens carefully and explains options clearly. At 66 and 10 weeks post-surgery, I am pain-free and back to enjoying an active life. Thank you !
- Mid-December '24 Total Hip Replacement. Previously 24/7 pain & immobile, post operation pain free. Since recovery/physio I'm living my best life thanks to Mr Mahaluxmivala's expertise. Having completed a 2,500 km Charity Motorbike Trip in Thailand just 13 weeks post surgery! TY
- Six weeks ago, Mr. Jehangir Mahaluxmivala performed a full knee replacement for me, and I’m thrilled with the results. As a younger patient, I was nervous, but his expertise and care were exceptional. Thanks to him, I’ve regained my mobility and quality of life. Highly recommend!
- Excellent care, second hip replacement, first one in June second in October. Everything was explained clearly and great care taken at every stage to understand the recovery. I thoroughly recommend Mr Mahaluxmivala, looking forward to golfing pain free!
- Very professional and efficient. Listened to concerns and discussed outcomes. The whole procedure for total knee replacement from initial consultation through to final consultation six weeks later was smooth and efficient.
- Very helpful, so glad I saw him.
- Extremely polite and to the point, Mr Mahaluxmivala made a quick accurate diagnosis and discussed the available options and together we discussed the treatment needed to move forward with my injury. As importantly he made sure that I fully understood the procedure he proposed.
