Academic degree: | MS (Master Of Surgrey) |
Area of specialization: | I am mostly working in sports medicine and joint replacement — kinda where movement and damage meet. I deal with ligament tears, cartilage injuries, rotator cuff stuff, even those chronic overuse probs that just won’t quit. Whether it’s a footballer with ACL rupture or a 50yr old struggling with stair pain, I focus on getting ‘em back to function — but without rushing into surgery unless it's clearly needed.
Joint replacements are a big chunk of my practice — knees, hips, shoulders, both primary and the more complex revision ones. Those revision cases really test you, tbh... bone loss, implant failure, tricky scarred tissue — you have to think on your feet, sometimes literally in the OR.
Fracture work’s something I’m super hands-on with. High-impact trauma, crushed bone cases, polytrauma — I’ve handled all of that. I don’t just fix bones, I try to rebuild alignment that works *long-term*.
Lately, I’m also exploring regenerative therapies — PRP injections, biologicals — in select cases where healing can be boosted naturally. Still not a one-size-fits thing, but promising in the right patients. |
Achievements: | I am honestly grateful for some recognitions that came my way — won the *Seva Ratna* award from Elders International, which meant a lot because elder care's close to my heart. Got the *APJ Abdul Kalam award* by ACT Now NGO too — that one kinda hit different, knowing it was tied to community work. And yeah, also received the *Suman TV Doctor Award* — bit unexpected tbh, but nice to feel seen. Awards don’t define the work, but they do remind you someone noticed. |
I am a Senior Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon with around 14 years in the game — long enough to see how bones break, heal, re-break sometimes, and what it really takes to put people back on their feet (and keep them there). My core areas are joint replacement surgeries — both primary and revision — and yeah, revision work can be real tricky, especially when previous implants have failed or bone loss complicates things. But that’s kinda where my brain kicks in hardest. I work a lot with sports injuries too. Ligament tears, meniscus issues, shoulder dislocations — young athletes with high expectations and limited patience make it challenging but also rewarding. You don’t just treat the injury; you treat their fear of missing out, their frustration, their urge to return too soon. Sometimes managing the mindset is half the treatment plan. Fracture management’s another part of my day-to-day, and not just simple wrist or ankle fractures. I’ve dealt with complex trauma cases — polytrauma, open fractures, those unpredictable ER moments where you don’t know what’s coming until you're knee-deep in a case. I try to be quick but methodical. Get stabilization first, then rebuild, step by step. It’s not always clean work, but it’s real. Each patient walks in with pain, but they also carry stories — of old injuries ignored, surgeries that didn’t quite work, fears of not walking right again. And as much as I operate, I also listen. Or I try to. Not every decision is surgical. Some need rehab. Some just need time. My job isn’t just to cut and fix. It’s to know *when* to cut and *when not to*. Ortho isn’t just bone and metal, at least not to me. It’s restoring movement, confidence, and a bit of dignity that pain usually takes away quietly. That’s what I’m really here for.
