About

Unique Prime code: 598
Dr. Suresh Kumar Thangavelu is an experienced Orthopedic Surgeon specializing in bone and joint trauma care. With a childhood ambition to become a doctor, he has pursued his passion for medicine with dedication. Dr. Thangavelu enjoys staying fit, watching movies, and traveling in his leisure time.
His motto is to alleviate pain and provide medical assistance to those in need. Among his most memorable moments are his first trip to Hungary during the Millennium and the joy of seeing his parents' happiness upon receiving his first degree. One of his most challenging professional moments was successfully treating a patient in anaphylactic shock when no hospital initially accepted her.
Dr. Thangavelu's expertise includes all types of orthopedic traumas affecting both adults and children, arthroscopic procedures for knee and shoulder issues, and arthroplasty (joint replacement surgeries) including knee and hip replacements. He is also skilled in cold orthopedics such as infected non-union osteomyelitis limb reconstruction surgeries.
He obtained his undergraduate and post-graduate degrees from India’s top-ranked medical colleges and further advanced his qualifications with an M.Ch in Arthroplasty from USAIM. Dr. Thangavelu's commitment to orthopedic care is reflected in his comprehensive approach to managing bone and joint conditions, ensuring optimal outcomes for his patients.

“Evidence-based care tailored to each patient — taking the time to explain options and shared decisions.”
