Where in Dubai
Dr. Subhash sees knee patients at Grand Infinity Medical Center in Al Muteena, Deira, next to the Grand Excelsior Hotel, in north-east Dubai. He has worked in Dubai since 2023, including at KIMS Health in Bur Dubai and in Karama. One visit covers the examination, a review of your scans and a plan for knee pain, injury or arthritis.
What is knee specialist?
Knee pain has many causes, and the right treatment depends on finding the real one. In younger, active people it is often an injury: a torn meniscus, a torn ligament such as the ACL, or a broken bone around the knee. In older people it is more often osteoarthritis, where the smooth cartilage lining the joint wears away. Children can have knees that bow outwards or knock inwards. An orthopedic surgeon who treats the whole knee can examine you, read the scans, and offer everything from physiotherapy and injections to keyhole surgery or a knee replacement, without passing you between doctors.
Who it can help
- Knee pain on stairs, when kneeling, praying or getting up from the floor.
- A knee that swells, locks, clicks or gives way.
- A sports or work injury, especially a twist with a pop and quick swelling.
- Arthritis that is making walking, sleep or work harder.
- A child whose legs bow or knock, or who limps.
- A fall or road accident with a painful, swollen knee.
How Dr. Subhash approaches it
Dr. Subhash's stated main interests are trauma, joint replacement and arthroscopy, and the knee sits at the centre of all three. He trained in hip and knee replacement on a 2016 fellowship in India. He performs total and partial knee replacement and revision surgery; keyhole knee surgery, including meniscus repair, ligament reconstruction, cartilage smoothing and OATS; fracture surgery; and correction of knock knees and bow legs in children. Most knees start with exercises and simpler treatment.
What to expect
Book a visit
Call or WhatsApp the clinic. Tell them if the knee was injured recently.
Examination
He asks how the problem started and what it stops you doing, then examines both knees.
Scans if needed
X-rays show bone and arthritis. An MRI shows the meniscus, ligaments and cartilage. Bring any scans you already have.
A clear plan
He explains the cause and the options, from physiotherapy and injections to surgery, and you choose together.
Follow-up
He reviews your progress and changes the plan if the knee is not improving.
Recovery, in general terms
Every patient is different. These are typical milestones, not a promise; your own plan comes from your consultation.
- Many knee problems improve with physiotherapy within six to twelve weeks.
- Keyhole surgery is usually day surgery, with a return to desk work in one to two weeks.
- Ligament and meniscus repairs take several months before sport.
- A knee replacement typically takes about three months for daily activities, and up to a year to settle fully.
When to book a visit
Book a visit if knee pain lasts more than a few weeks, keeps you awake, or stops you walking, praying or working comfortably. Go to an emergency department now if you cannot put weight on the leg after an injury, the knee looks deformed, or it is hot and red with a fever.

Questions patients ask
Which parts of Dubai is the clinic convenient for?
The clinic is in Al Muteena, Deira. It is close for people in Al Rigga, Port Saeed, Al Muraqqabat and Al Qusais. The map link on the contact page opens the clinic's own Google Maps pin.
Do I need an MRI before seeing a knee specialist?
No. He examines the knee first and then decides whether a scan is needed. If you already have an MRI or X-rays, bring the images and the report.
Are injections or physiotherapy worth trying before surgery?
Often, yes. Many knees with arthritis or wear-related tears improve with exercise, weight loss and, for some, an injection. Surgery is discussed when these have not helped enough or when an injury needs repair.
Why does my knee hurt when I kneel or sit on the floor?
Kneeling presses on the kneecap joint, and deep bending squeezes the meniscus. Pain in these positions can come from arthritis, a meniscus tear or kneecap problems. An examination usually narrows it down.
