About me
"My postgraduate training at CMC Vellore — one of India's foremost centres for reconstructive surgery — underpins my specialised and methodical approach to complex upper limb cases."
I trained at CMC Vellore through every level of the field — the Diploma and Master's in Orthopaedics, the Paul Brand Fellowship in Hand and Microsurgery, and an MCh in Hand Surgery.
Moving from general orthopaedics into one of its most demanding subspecialties was deliberate. For the last two decades I've focused on the most demanding upper-limb work — brachial plexus injuries, nerve lacerations, microsurgical reconstruction, and hand and wrist problems that require complex treatment.
It's what I've built my practice around in Pune.
