The Good Stuff
Fracture care
A fractured wrist was set precisely enough to avoid surgery, while another child’s wrist fracture also recovered without an operation.
Clear guidance
Reviews repeatedly mention straightforward explanations of diagnoses, treatment choices, recovery timelines and post-procedure care.
Child care
Parents report gentle treatment for children, including trigger-thumb surgeries with around 10 days of recovery.
Regular follow-up
Patients describe continued checks after surgery, including contact maintained after recovery to monitor progress.
Urgent referral
In a serious arm-pain case involving blood clots, a quick referral to a vascular surgeon enabled urgent treatment.
Non-surgical approach
For a recurring shoulder injury, the plan focused on physiotherapy, exercise and diet rather than unnecessary medication.
Tips for a Better Visit
Ask alternatives. For a fracture, ask whether careful bone setting can avoid surgery; one wrist case was treated successfully without an operation.
Discuss recovery. Ask for the expected recovery timeline and aftercare steps, as reviews say these were explained clearly before procedures.
Bring questions. Prepare your questions for the consultation; patients say concerns were answered patiently, even during follow-up.
Urgent injuries. For an urgent finger injury, ask about emergency assessment; one child was seen after office hours after a door-crush injury.
Mention insurance. If you do not have medical insurance, explain that at the outset so your circumstances can be considered during care planning.

The Bottom Line
Dr Srikanth is an orthopaedic and hand surgeon at Zulekha Hospital in Al Nahda. The reviews are especially useful for people considering hand or wrist treatment: patients mention De Quervain’s procedures, ligament reconstruction, finger surgery and fracture care. Several describe clear explanations before and after surgery rather than being left to guess what happens next.
There are strong examples involving children. Two daughters, aged 3 and 10, had trigger-thumb operations and were reported to be back to normal after around 10 days. Parents also describe gentle handling of a crushed finger and successful tendon and enchondroma treatment.
That makes the practice worth considering for families seeking hand-focused orthopaedic care. Surgery is not presented as the automatic answer in every review. One fractured wrist was set precisely enough to avoid an operation, while a recurring shoulder injury improved through physiotherapy, exercise and diet.
Patients also mention regular post-operative checks and replies to questions during recovery. One caution is important: a patient seeking help for severe neck pain reported no proper physical examination, little listening and an unrelated urologist referral. If your problem is outside the surgeon’s hand and orthopaedic focus, make sure the consultation covers a clear examination and treatment plan.
