About Dr. Bhushan Chavan

Dr. Bhushan Chavan is a Consultant Pediatric Cardiac Surgeon with over 18 years of dedicated experience in child heart care. Based at Apollo Hospitals in Mumbai, he brings a strong educational foundation with qualifications including MBBS, DNB in Paediatrics, and FNB in Paediatric Cardiology. His specialist training equips him to manage both simple and complex cardiac conditions in children with precision and compassion.

Dr. Chavan's clinical expertise spans the full spectrum of pediatric cardiac disease: congenital heart defects including atrial septal defects (ASD), ventricular septal defects (VSD), and patent ductus arteriosus (PDA); acquired heart conditions; and advanced echocardiographic assessment. He performs device-based closure procedures for structural heart lesions, minimally invasive interventions, and open surgical repair when indicated. His approach combines the latest evidence-based techniques with careful individualized planning for each young patient.

International families from the Gulf region, Africa, and SAARC countries regularly seek Dr. Chavan's care, trusting him with their children's most delicate needs. He ensures clear communication with parents in English and Hindi, explaining complex diagnoses and treatment options in understandable terms. His patient-centered philosophy emphasizes family support throughout the diagnostic and treatment journey, recognizing that pediatric cardiac care involves not just the child but the entire family unit.
