About Doctor

He completed his general surgical training at Mysore and super-specialty Mch degree in Pediatric surgery at the prestigious Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER), Chandigarh.

He further trained in Pediatric Minimal Invasive Surgery at the Indira Gandhi Institute of Child health, Bangalore. He is trained in bronchoscopic procedures (endoscopic visualization of the airway) and has many life saving bronchoscopic foreign body removals to his credit. He has always practiced evidence based and ethical surgery in children with special emphasis on counseling parents in an empathetic and caring way.

His passion to work with children who require pediatric surgical care lead him to firmly establish the concept of specialized Pediatric surgical care at the district level at Hassan in Karnataka where he practiced and managed the entire Pediatric surgical work of the pediatric population of three districts and parts of two other districts.

His main area of interest is in minimal invasive surgery in children and to ultimately see that children requiring a surgical procedure have minimal pain and scarring and go home earlier.
