Dr. Devesh Dholakia — Consultant in Spine Surgery in Mumbai

Dr. Devesh Dholakia is a Consultant in Spine Surgery at Gleneagles Hospital, Mumbai, with more than 24 years of experience in spine surgery.

His list covers degenerative, deformity and revision work. He performs cervical spine surgery, microdiscectomy and discectomy, spinal fusion surgery and disc replacement surgery, spinal deformity correction and spinal stenosis surgery, spinal tumor surgery and spinal trauma surgery, and revision surgery for failed back surgery.

After MBBS and an MS his training was taken in four countries, and each placement is recorded twice on his profile, as a qualification and again as a distinction. He held the Wockhardt Fellowship in Spine and the IGOF Fellowship to Germany, was a fellow in the Spinal Division of the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at the National University Hospital in Singapore, and took a preceptorship in spinal surgery in the U.S.A. His earliest spinal training was in India, in the Department of Neurosurgery at L.T.M.C. in Mumbai.

That neurosurgical grounding, followed by an orthopaedic spinal fellowship in Singapore, means his training came through both of the routes by which surgeons reach this specialty.

He has published research in national and international medical journals and has been invited as a delegate and speaker at conferences in India and overseas.

He practises at Gleneagles Hospital at Parel in Mumbai, and was formerly at K.E.M. Hospital in the same city.
