Ghaziabad is a working-class and middle-class city. Money matters. Surgery costs ₹3–5 lakh, surgeries-that-shouldn't-have-happened cost much more. Our verdict is free — your savings can be life-changing.
Ghaziabad lives in two halves. The eastern stretch — Indirapuram, Vaishali, Vasundhara, Crossings Republik — is full of middle-class families who moved out of Delhi for affordable apartments. The western and old city — Raj Nagar, Kavi Nagar, Modinagar — has older homes, factory workers, and small business families.
In both populations, ₹3–5 lakh for a knee replacement is not "expensive" — it's catastrophic. It's a daughter's wedding fund. It's a son's coaching fees. It's the only emergency money the family has saved. And it's exactly the kind of decision that gets made too fast, on incomplete information, by people who trust the doctor in front of them and don't have the network to find a second opinion.
We exist to give Ghaziabad families that second opinion without a Delhi-hospital fee or a stranger's "reference". Free. In writing. In 48 hours.

Factory workers, plumbers, electricians, drivers. Lifting injuries, chronic back strain. Surgery is rarely the answer; targeted rehab usually is.
Joint families across Vaishali / Vasundhara — multi-generational households where 60+ ladies do heavy kitchen work, climb stairs daily. Sudden knee complaints that often have non-surgical solutions.
Ghaziabad-to-Delhi commute can be 1.5–2 hours each way. Disc issues from prolonged sitting + Indian potholes. Conservative management almost always wins.
High diabetes prevalence in Ghaziabad. Joint and nerve symptoms often misdiagnosed. We rule in/out neuropathy before any surgical conversation.
"Two hospitals on NH-9 told my son I needed both knees replaced — ₹7 lakh total. My son's bonus that year was ₹2 lakh; we'd have taken a loan. He found Orthosist on Facebook. Their panel said no — physio + Ayurveda for 4 months. Today I'm doing my morning walks in Niti Khand park again. The ₹14,999 we paid Orthosist saved us ₹7 lakh and a lifetime of fake metal knees."
