Choosing an orthopedic surgeon in Ahmedabad — FAQs
Who is the best orthopedic surgeon in Ahmedabad?
There is no single 'best' orthopedic surgeon; the right surgeon depends on your specific condition (knee vs hip vs spine vs sports injury), the surgeon's fellowship training, hospital infrastructure, and your comfort after consultation. At DHS Multispecialty Hospital, Dr. Hardik Shah (Medical Director, MS Orthopedic, FRCS Germany) and Dr. Swagat Shah (MS Ortho, DNB Ortho, FIAAS UK) lead a senior orthopedic team that has successfully performed 2,000+ knee replacement surgeries (robotic and conventional). We recommend booking a face-to-face consultation before deciding.
Who is the best orthopedic doctor in Ahmedabad?
In India, the terms 'orthopedic doctor' and 'orthopedic surgeon' are used interchangeably — both refer to a medical doctor specialised in musculoskeletal conditions (bones, joints, ligaments, muscles). What matters more than the label is the qualification (MS Orthopedic or DNB Orthopedic plus a fellowship), the hospital they operate at, and their experience with your specific condition. At DHS Hospital, the orthopedic team is led by Dr. Hardik Shah (FRCS Germany) and Dr. Swagat Shah (FIAAS UK).
What's the difference between an orthopedic surgeon and an orthopedic doctor?
There is no medical difference. Both refer to a doctor who specialises in diagnosing and treating problems of the bones, joints, ligaments, tendons and muscles. The label varies by region and patient preference. In India, orthopedic specialists are typically MS Orthopedic or DNB Orthopedic by qualification, often with an additional fellowship (FRCS, FIAAS, MCh, etc.).
What qualifications should I look for in an orthopedic surgeon?
The base medical qualification is MS Orthopedic or DNB Orthopedic (5+ years of post-graduate training after MBBS). For complex surgery — joint replacement, robotic surgery, arthroscopy, spine — look for a senior fellowship (FRCS Germany, FIAAS UK, FAGE, MCh, or equivalent), plus documented experience with the specific procedure you need.
Where is the orthopedic department at DHS Hospital located?
DHS Multispecialty Hospital is at 18 Sunrise Park Society, Vastrapur Lake — Drive-In Link Road, Gurukul, Ahmedabad 380052. We are reachable from Vastrapur, Gurukul, Drive-In, Satellite, Bodakdev, Memnagar, Thaltej, Sabarmati and Naranpura within minutes, and from SG Highway with a short drive.
Do the orthopedic surgeons at DHS treat sports injuries, trauma and arthritis?

The DHS orthopedic team treats the full range of musculoskeletal conditions — knee and hip arthritis (medication, injections, replacement surgery), sports injuries (ACL/PCL/meniscus reconstruction, rehabilitation), road-accident trauma (24/7 emergency, fracture management), spine pain (conservative care and surgical interventions), and shoulder problems (replacement, rotator cuff repair).
