I have been practicing as a Freelancing Arthroscopy Surgeon since 2012.
Over the years, I have gained Confidence of around 100 Orthopaedic Surgeons who have faith in my Surgical Skills and Experience of having performed 6000 plus Surgeries.
I was attached with Babasaheb Ambedkar Municipal Hospital as Honorary in Orthopaedics from 2015 to 2019.
Being passionate for the Work I do, I have the best of Team and Machinery to achieve maximum precision and comfort in performing these highly Specialised Surgeries.
I have a Fellowship Programme under me, to train young aspiring Arthroscopy Surgeons.

I have also been part of multiple Workshops and Conferences as Faculty, delivering talks and sharing Experience with the Fellow Arthroscopy Surgeons.

After completing my MBBS in 2007 from MGM Medical College, I went ahead to pursue my Diploma (D Ortho) & Degree (DNB) in Orthopaedics froma Lokmanya Hospital, Pune in 2010. Being exposed to advanced Arthroscopy Surgeries in my training Days, I developed special interest in these Minimally Invasive Key Hole Surgeries.

In 2011, I was fortunate to be selected for a Fellowship in Shoulder & Elbow Surgeries under Giuseppe Porcellini at Ospedale De Cervesi, Cattolica, Italy. (ESSKA) The Centre catered to treatment of Shoulder Injuries, both in Sportspersons and in other Age Related Shoulder Ailments. Being a tertiary level Centre, it was referred for patients from all over the Region and Italy (including Moto GP fame Valentino Rossi) During my 6 months of Fellowship, I had the privilege of attending around 700 Surgeries including Shoulder Arthroscopies, Shoulder Replacement, Tendon transfers and Latarjet Procedure.

In 2012, I followed it up with Fellowship in Sports Surgeries under Dr Ramon Cugat at Hospital Quiron, Barcelona, Spain. The centre catered to the Sports Injuries of Football Players of the Catalunya Football Association & FC BARCELONA. The Fellowship at this Centre helped me learn treatment of Various Sports Injuries with Newer Modalities, like use of PRGF, along with Sports Arthroscopy Surgeries.

In 2012, I was invited to a Fellowship under Dr Philleppe Hardy, at Hospital Ambroise Pare, Paris. The Centre was affliated to and located very next to the Stadium Roland Garros (French Open). Under Dr Phileppe Hardy, I got to learn the finer details of having a Successful practice as a Sports Surgeon.
