Quick facts about Vellore and its healthcare system. Hospital, bed and doctor figures are estimates scaled from state and national data, because no public source counts them city by city.

Vellore has an estimated 6.8 lakh (680,000) residents in 2025, based on Census 2011 scaled forward with a growth factor, so treat it as approximate. That makes it number 98 among the 100 largest cities in this directory, and falls in our Small (<1M) size band. At the assumed growth of 2.2% a year, it would reach about 0.8 million by 2030, so demand for knee replacement surgeons and every other speciality is likely to keep rising.
Scaling Tamilnadu's 1.91 beds per 1,000 people (the India-wide figure is about 1.39) to the city's population gives roughly 1,300 hospital beds in Vellore, including about 65 ICU beds, spread across an estimated 20 hospitals (about 10 public and 10 private). That is about 524 residents for every bed and around 65 beds per hospital on average. Measured against the WHO's often-quoted benchmark of 3 beds per 1,000 people, the city would need roughly 740 more beds, which is one reason private clinics and hospitals carry so much of the load.
The same national ratio of one practising doctor per 811 people suggests about 840 practising doctors across all systems of medicine in Vellore, supported by around 1,500 nurses and midwives. 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 Vellore.
On health outcomes, Tamilnadu's infant mortality rate is 11 per 1,000 live births (2024), well below the national figure of 24, and modelled life expectancy is about 75.0 years against roughly 72 for India; these are state-wide measures, not city measurements. About 50% of hospital beds in Tamilnadu are private, so most people weigh private knee replacement surgeons against government outpatient departments. This page lists 19 knee replacement surgeons for Vellore, and 7 other cities in Tamilnadu have their own knee replacement surgeon page below.

Frequently asked questions: Knee Replacement Surgeons in Vellore
How do I find the best knee replacement surgeon in Vellore?
There is no single best doctor for everyone: the right choice depends on your condition, budget and location. A good approach is to shortlist two or three knee replacement surgeons, check their qualification and registration with the NMC / State Medical Council register, and compare facilities and communication. On this page, Naruvi Hospitals (12, Chennai - Bengaluru Highway, 72, Collector's Office Rd, Samuel Nagar, Thottapalayam, Vellore, Tamil Nadu 632004) is one listed option - confirm details by phone before you visit.
How can I book an appointment with a knee replacement surgeon in Vellore?
Call the clinic or hospital number shown on the listing, use WhatsApp where it is shown, or visit during outpatient hours. Ask about the consultation fee, whether an appointment is needed, and which documents or earlier reports to bring.
How much does a knee replacement surgeon consultation cost in Vellore?
Fees depend on the doctor's experience, the type of facility and the tests or procedures involved, and we do not publish unverified prices. Ask the clinic for the consultation fee and any follow-up charges when you call; government hospitals generally charge much less than private clinics.
Which hospitals in Vellore offer knee replacement surgeon services?
Well-known hospitals and institutions often named for Vellore include CMC Vellore, and the city also has many other hospitals and clinics. Each has its own outpatient timings and departments, so check availability for knee replacement surgeon services directly before you go. This is general information, not a complete directory.
When is knee replacement recommended?
Surgeons usually consider replacement when X-rays show advanced arthritis and pain remains severe despite medicines, physiotherapy, weight management and sometimes injections. The decision also depends on age, activity and overall health.
How long is recovery after knee replacement?
Most patients walk with support within a day or two, stay in hospital for a few days and continue physiotherapy for several weeks. Full recovery takes a few months and depends on rehabilitation and general health.
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.
How many hospital beds does Vellore have?
No public source counts beds city by city. Scaling state data to the city population gives an estimate of about 1,300 beds (around 65 ICU beds) for Vellore. Treat it as a rough guide rather than an official count.
