Patient-Centred Care

Dr. Rajan prioritises minimally invasive solutions, reserving open surgery for cases where keyhole approaches are insufficient. He invests significant consultation time in patient education — drawing anatomical diagrams and explaining surgical steps — and provides detailed pre- and post-operative counselling for every patient.
