A Legacy of Global Excellence

I. Academic Foundation & International Beginnings

My journey began with a commitment to medical excellence at Thanjavur Medical College, where I earned my MBBS in 1979. After completing my surgical internship at the prestigious Government General Hospital in Chennai, I moved to the United Kingdom in 1982 to pursue world-class specialization.

II. The UK Years: Masterclass in Orthopaedics (1983–1990)

For nearly a decade, I trained within the rigorous UK surgical system, working alongside some of the most influential names in modern orthopaedics:

Mentorship under Pioneers: At Coventry and Warwickshire Hospital, I trained under Mr. Derek McMinn, the visionary who later developed the Birmingham Hip Resurfacing technique.

Surgical Specialization: I refined my skills in arthroscopic surgery and joint replacement at King George Hospital, Essex, under the renowned Mr. John Ireland.

The FRCS Distinction: In 1985, I achieved my Fellowship from the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow, receiving my FRCS diploma in 1987—a hallmark of surgical quality recognized worldwide.

III. Global Fellowships: Advancing the Craft

To bring the world's best technology to my patients, I completed specialized fellowships at the world's leading orthopaedic institutes:

Spine & Pediatric Orthopaedics: Nuffield Orthopaedic Hospital, Oxford, UK (1990).

Complex Spine Instrumentation: Muenster University Hospital, Germany (1998).

Total Joint Mastery (Hip, Knee, & Shoulder): The Anderson Orthopaedic Research Institute, USA, under the legendary Drs. Charles and Gerard Engh (2000).

Precision Arthroplasty: Specialized training in Unicondylar (Partial) Joint Replacement in Milan, Italy (2003).

IV. Leadership in Indian Healthcare

Since returning to India in 1990, I have been instrumental in shaping the orthopaedic landscape of Chennai:

Pioneering Corporate Care: As the first Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon at Tamilnad Hospital (now Global Hospital), I established the department from its inception.

Institutional Leadership: Served as the Head of Orthopaedics at Sundaram Medical Foundation and as a Senior Consultant at Apollo Speciality Hospitals in both Chennai and Colombo.

Clinical Excellence: Following a tenure heading the Department of Orthopaedics at Fortis Malar Hospitals, I now bring this 40-year legacy of international training and surgical precision to my current practice at MGM HealthCare, Chennai.

Why This Matters for Your Recovery

When you choose a surgeon, you are choosing their history. My training across the UK, USA, Germany, and Italy ensures that whether you require a routine knee replacement or a complex revision, your care is grounded in global best practices and decades of successful outcomes.
