We provide a variety of common surgical procedures to improve your health near Banga and Phagwara, in Dhahan-Kaleran, in the Shaheed Bhagat Singh Nagar District in Punjab.

Our surgeons, anaesthesiologist and surgical nursing teams perform more than 1,500 procedures every year.

This level of experience extends well beyond the operating room. It includes nursing care, inpatient and outpatient support services and other experts who will see to your post care needs until you’re back on your feet.

Our surgeons can perform minimally-invasive procedures using lasers and laparoscopic techniques. These are more modern methods, with the advantages of:

  • Less pain
  • Faster recovery time
  • Minimal or no blood loss
  • Minimal chances of requiring a hospital stay
  • Minimal chances of infection
  • Minimal chances of a postoperative scar

Who should see a general surgeon?

General surgeons bear the responsibility of treating several areas of the body when non-surgical interventions don’t work. They treat the entire abdomen and digestive system, the head, neck and even skin and soft tissue like breasts.

General surgeons also remove cancers and treat trauma patients in the emergency department.

If you see a general practitioner regularly, they may refer you to a general surgeon if they notice symptoms that require surgical treatment.
