Taken together, the 5 Andhra Pradesh cities with a page here have an estimated 7.2 million residents (about 72 lakh) in 2025. The largest are Visakhapatnam (2.4 million), Vijayawada (2.4 million) and Guntur (1.0 million), followed by 2 smaller cities. Population figures come from the UN's 2024 urban-area estimates for the biggest cities and from scaled Census 2011 data for the rest.
Applying state-level hospital-bed ratios to these populations gives about 11,000 hospital beds, including some 540 ICU beds, in an estimated 120 hospitals (roughly 33 public and 86 private). Andhra Pradesh averages 1.49 beds per 1,000 people against about 1.39 for India, and about 72% of its beds are private.
On the national ratio of one practising doctor per 811 people, these cities would have about 8,900 doctors and 16,000 nurses and midwives across all systems of medicine. A knee replacement surgeon is one of many specialities within that total. Specialist head-counts are not published city by city, so these figures show scale, not how many knee replacement surgeons practise in Andhra Pradesh.

How to choose a knee replacement surgeon
- Check the qualification: MBBS with MS/DNB (Orthopaedics) and joint-replacement fellowship training.
- Verify registration with the NMC / State Medical Council register and note the registration number.
- Ask how long the clinic has treated the condition you have, not just how long the doctor has practised.
- Read recent patient feedback on more than one platform, and be wary of identical glowing reviews.
- Check practical details: location, clinic hours, appointment system, and whether emergency back-up exists if something goes wrong.
Knee replacement is a decision for the patient and surgeon together, after non-surgical options have been tried. Ask for the package details in writing, and be careful with unverified price claims.
