Excellence in Orthopedic Care
Comprehensive Expertise
As a dedicated orthopedic surgeon at Believers Medical College Hospital, I specialize in advanced joint replacement procedures, trauma care, and innovative robotic-assisted surgeries. My practice combines cutting-edge technology with compassionate patient care to deliver exceptional outcomes.
With extensive training in complex orthopedic procedures and a commitment to staying at the forefront of surgical innovation, I provide personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient's unique needs and goals.
Patient-Centered Approach
I believe that successful orthopedic care goes beyond the operating room. My approach emphasizes thorough consultation, clear communication, and collaborative decision-making to ensure patients feel informed and confident throughout their treatment journey.
From initial assessment through post-operative rehabilitation, I work closely with patients and their families to achieve optimal recovery and restore quality of life through evidence-based orthopedic solutions.
Pioneering Robotic Knee Replacement
I am proud to be at the forefront of robotic-assisted knee replacement surgery at Believers Medical College Hospital. This revolutionary technology represents a significant advancement in joint replacement, offering unprecedented precision and improved outcome for patients suffering from knee arthritis and joint damage.
Unmatched Precision
Robotic assistance allows for sub-millimeter accuracy in implant positioning, ensuring optimal alignment and function of the new knee joint.
Faster Recovery
Minimally invasive techniques and precise bone preparation lead to reduced tissue trauma, less pain, and quicker return to normal activities.
Longer-Lasting Results
Accurate implant placement contributes to better joint mechanics, potentially extending the lifespan of the knee replacement.
The Robotic Knee Replacement Advantage
Advanced Technology, Better Outcomes
The robotic knee replacement system at Believers Hospital represents a quantum leap in orthopedic surgery. This sophisticated technology creates a personalized surgical plan based on each patient's unique anatomy through advanced 3D imaging and computer-assisted planning.
During surgery, the robotic system guides my movements with extraordinary precision, ensuring that bone cuts and implant positioning are executed exactly as planned. This level of accuracy is simply not achievable with traditional manual techniques.
The result? Patients experience improved joint function, more natural knee movement, reduced post-operative pain, and faster rehabilitation. Studies show that robotic-assisted knee replacements have higher patient satisfaction rates and better long-term outcomes compared to conventional approaches.

Why Choose Robotic Knee Replacement?
Personalized Precision
Every patient's anatomy is unique. The robotic system creates a 3D model of your specific knee structure, allowing for a truly personalized surgical plan. This customization ensures that your new joint is positioned exactly right for your body, leading to more natural movement and better long-term satisfaction.
Reduced Complications
The extraordinary precision of robotic assistance helps protect surrounding healthy tissue, ligaments, and structures. This careful approach minimizes surgical trauma, reduces the risk of complications, and contributes to a smoother, more predictable recovery process with less post-operative discomfort.
Enhanced Longevity
Proper alignment and positioning are critical factors in how long a knee replacement will last. Studies indicate that robotic-assisted procedures achieve superior alignment compared to manual techniques, potentially adding years to the functional life of your knee replacement and reducing the likelihood of revision surgery.
Faster Return to Life
Many patients who undergo robotic knee replacement experience shorter hospital stay, reduced pain medication requirements, and quicker return to daily activities. The minimally invasive nature of the procedure means you can get back to walking, driving, and enjoying life sooner than with traditional approaches.
