You are looked after by one experienced surgeon across every Chennai location — the same hands plan your treatment, perform the operation and follow you through recovery.

A super-specialist (MCh, Surgical Gastroenterology) focused on liver transplantation and HPB surgery — a rarer, more focused skill set than general or laparoscopic surgery for liver, pancreas and bile-duct disease. He brings transplant-grade precision to everyday GI operations and offers robotic and keyhole approaches for faster, lower-pain recovery.
