Best Knee Replacement Surgeons in India

India has no single register of knee replacement surgeons that patients can browse by city, so this guide collects the listings we have for 100 large cities - Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata and Bengaluru and more - and links to a dedicated page for each state and city.

Start with the full list of 100 providers below, or jump to your state or city using the links further down. Each city page explains how to check qualifications and registration, what a first visit involves and what local healthcare capacity looks like.

India's 100 largest listed cities add up to roughly 290.5 million people. Delhi (34.7 million), Mumbai (22.1 million) and Kolkata (15.8 million) lead the list, with 97 other cities behind them. Most figures are 2025 estimates and should be read as approximate.

Applying state-level hospital-bed ratios to these populations gives about 5,20,000 hospital beds, including some 26,000 ICU beds, in an estimated 14,000 hospitals (roughly 4,600 public and 9,100 private). Across India the average is about 1.39 beds per 1,000 people, well under the WHO's often-quoted benchmark of 3.

On the national ratio of one practising doctor per 811 people, these cities would have about 3,60,000 doctors and 6,50,000 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 India.

India has national infant mortality of 24 per 1,000 live births (2024) and life expectancy of about 72 years. This page lists 100 knee replacement surgeons across these cities, and every city and state below has its own page with maps, qualifications to check and answers to common questions.

How to choose a knee replacement surgeon

  1. Check the qualification: MBBS with MS/DNB (Orthopaedics) and joint-replacement fellowship training.
  2. Verify registration with the NMC / State Medical Council register and note the registration number.
  3. Ask how long the clinic has treated the condition you have, not just how long the doctor has practised.
  4. Read recent patient feedback on more than one platform, and be wary of identical glowing reviews.
  5. 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.

Who is the best knee replacement surgeon in India?

Shortlist two or three knee replacement surgeons, check their qualification and registration with the NMC / State Medical Council register, and compare facilities and communication. Dr. Kunal Aneja (Delhi) is the first listing on this page - confirm details by phone.

What should I ask before choosing a surgeon or hospital in India?

Ask about the surgeon's experience with knee replacement, the implant options, infection-control practices, ICU back-up, what the package includes and what physiotherapy is provided. A second opinion is always reasonable.

Is robotic knee replacement better?

Robotic assistance can help with precise implant positioning, but the surgeon's experience and your rehabilitation matter as much. Ask the surgeon why a particular approach is suggested for you.
