A paediatric surgeon at the intersection of precision, innovation, and compassion
I am a Consultant Paediatric Urologist and Robotic, Laparoscopic & Minimally Invasive Paediatric Surgeon based in Vadodara, with over a decade of experience managing complex surgical and urological conditions in children. My practice spans paediatric urology, robotic and laparoscopic surgery, neonatal surgery, reconstructive urology, and the management of congenital anomalies — always with a commitment to child-centred, compassionate care.
Alongside clinical work, I serve as Assistant Professor of Paediatric Surgery at Sumandeep Vidyapeeth, where I teach MBBS students, postgraduate surgical residents, and super-specialty trainees. I believe expert care and clear communication belong together, which is why I write and speak extensively for both clinicians and families.
Clinical Expertise
Hypospadias surgery, reconstructive paediatric urology, posterior urethral valves, antenatal hydronephrosis, complex urinary tract anomalies, neonatal surgery, and robotic and laparoscopic paediatric surgery. I am recognised for advancing minimally invasive surgical techniques in children and am trusted by families across Gujarat for complex paediatric urological and surgical care.

Beyond Medicine
I see medicine as a meeting point of science, the humanities, and technology. Outside the operating room I am a Hindustani classical vocalist and tabla player, a polyglot, a bibliophile, and a computer programmer — pursuits that enrich how I teach, communicate, and care for the children and families I serve.
