Spine & Knee Specialist for Seawoods Patients

Many of the enquiries we see from the Seawoods area are about knee pain and, increasingly, robotic-assisted knee replacement rather than spine complaints. This page is built around that pattern, starting with knee and joint care and pointing you to the nearest confirmed locations where Dr. Juilee Mhatre Nair and Dr. Vishnu Vikraman Nair actually consult.

Why knee and robotic surgery lead this page

Seawoods residents searching for orthopaedic care tend to be further along in their decision-making than a first-time back pain enquiry — many are already comparing options for knee replacement or have been told robotic assistance might suit their case. Because of that, this page opens with joint and robotic-surgery guidance rather than a general symptom-first introduction.

Who this page is for

This is written for Seawoods-area patients evaluating options for worsening knee pain, advanced osteoarthritis, or a joint replacement recommendation they have already received elsewhere and want a second, specialist opinion on — as well as anyone with a spine concern who simply wants to know the nearest place to be seen.

Nearest confirmed consulting points

The nearest verified location for Seawoods patients is NAIR Spine & Knee Clinic, Kharghar, the practice's primary base, where both doctors consult and the fullest range of coordination is available — including all knee and joint care with Dr. Juilee Mhatre Nair. New Era Hospital, Vashi is the second nearby option, a spine-care point where Dr. Vishnu Vikraman Nair consults. Which one to choose depends on whether you need spine or knee care and on scheduling convenience, so it is worth asking the clinic directly.

Knee, joint and robotic surgery care available

For knee and joint care, Dr. Juilee Mhatre Nair consults at Kharghar — the nearest point for Seawoods — as well as Kopar Khairane and Panvel. She discusses the full range of options, from conservative management through to partial knee replacement and full robotic-assisted knee replacement for suitable candidates. What robotic assistance changes is largely about planning precision and implant alignment; whether it is the right choice for you depends on an individual assessment, not a one-size-fits-all recommendation.

Spine and general orthopaedic care also available

Dr. Vishnu Vikraman Nair sees Seawoods-area patients for back and leg pain, neck and arm pain, and slip disc and sciatica at both Kharghar and Vashi, discussing minimally invasive and endoscopic spine surgery where indicated. As with knee care, treatment begins with assessment and typically a conservative approach before any surgical option is discussed.

What to prepare before your consultation

If you have already had X-rays, an MRI, or a written opinion from another doctor about your knee, bring these along — they help your surgeon assess the extent of the problem more efficiently and avoid repeat imaging where possible. For patients specifically exploring robotic knee replacement, having a clear picture of your daily activity levels and any previous treatments tried is equally useful context for the consultation.

Booking your visit

Because neither Kharghar nor Vashi has published fixed consulting hours, the most dependable way to plan a visit is to call or WhatsApp the clinic, mention you are coming from Seawoods, and confirm the current consulting schedule before travelling.
