He is one of the best Spine surgeons in London with advanced training and fellowships from France and USA. He constantly updates with his research publications at national and international conferences. He has over 50 publications and presentations in the field of Spine Surgery.

Few Spinal Surgeons in the UK who offer scoliosis correction with a patient specific navigation system with the best results and deformity corrections. He is well trained in this art of Spine Navigation and Spine Robotic Surgery.

He won the prestigious “Spine Travelling Fellowship” from Imperial College UK that enabled him to train on advanced “Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery” and “Endoscopic Spine Surgery”. He was awarded a postgraduate MCh doctorate under Professor Angus Wallace, Queens Medical Centre, Nottingham.

In addition, he was awarded the “Young Innovator Award” for his invention of the ‘Torque Testing Rig’ that helps in complex spine surgeries for back and neck pain patients.

He has successfully completed a 3-year trial (RCT) Randomised Controlled Trial over 3 years comparing 2 types of Disc Replacements in the Neck for the treatment of severe Neck pain. This has helped many spinal surgeons across the world in the management of severe and chronic neck pain.

Mr Rajesh is very conservative and analytical in his approach to Spine Surgery. If Spine surgery is required, he specialises in Minimal Access and Keyhole surgery. This helps in the early recovery and return to normal function as soon as possible.

He is well trained and has extensive expertise in all adult spine fracture fixations and deformity like scoliosis and kyphosis. He is trained on paediatric deformity – Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) – corrections in children. Mr. Rajesh has vast experience in the management and reconstruction of malignant tumours of the spine and Spinal Tuberculosis. 

Mr Rajesh as a leading spine surgeon in London has a multidisciplinary team (MDT) approach where all patients are discussed with a team of very experienced Consultant Spine surgeons, Consultant Rheumatologist, Consultant Radiologists, Spine Physiotherapists and Spinal Pain specialists.
