Dr Rakesh Dhake, MBBS, MS (Ortho)

Consultant Spine Surgeon | Fellowship-Trained in Spinal Surgery (UK & Europe)

Dr Rakesh Dhake is a highly trained Consultant Spine Surgeon with extensive experience in spinal disorders, spinal deformities, and advanced spinal surgical procedures. He completed his MBBS from Seth G.S. Medical College and K.E.M. Hospital, Mumbai, a leading institution known for academic excellence and clinical training.

He went on to pursue a Master of Surgery (MS) in Orthopaedics at Lokmanya Tilak Municipal Medical College and General Hospital (LTMMC & LTMGH, Sion Hospital), Mumbai, one of the busiest tertiary care trauma centres. During his final year of orthopaedic training in 2016 and in the year following his graduation, Dr Rakesh Dhake worked as a Registrar and Senior Registrar in a dedicated spine unit. It was during this period that he developed a focused interest in spinal surgery, having managed a wide range of spinal cases.

To build on this interest, Dr Rakesh Dhake undertook fellowships in Europe, starting with the National Centre for Spinal Disorders in Budapest, Hungary, followed by another at the CHLC Spine Centre in Lisbon, Portugal between 2017 and 2018. These fellowships gave him valuable international exposure to spinal surgical techniques and patient care pathways.

In 2019, Dr Rakesh Dhake was selected for the Nottingham Advanced Spinal Surgery Fellowship at the Centre for Spinal Studies and Surgery (CSSS), Queen’s Medical Centre, Nottingham, UK. This is a recognised regional spinal centre and an AOSpine-accredited facility. During this period, he worked under the mentorship of Mr Michael Grevitt and was promoted to a senior role, gaining substantial experience in complex adult and paediatric spinal deformities.

His contribution was recognised with the Senior Clinical Fellowship Award by the Royal College of Surgeons of England (RCSEng). This fellowship is accredited by both the Royal College of Surgeons and the British Orthopaedic Association (BOA).

Following successful completion of his fellowship, Dr Rakesh Dhake was appointed as a Consultant Spine Surgeon at Queen’s Medical Centre (2020–2021) and subsequently at the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital (2021–2022). During these roles, he independently performed a high volume of spinal surgeries, covering a wide spectrum of spinal conditions.
