Dr. Kushal Shah

Dr. Kushal Shah is a Consultant Orthopedic Surgeon at Gleneagles Global Hospitals in Mumbai with over 13 years of clinical experience. He specialises in hand surgery, joint replacement, and complex upper extremity reconstruction, drawing on extensive formal training completed at Father Muller Medical College and the Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences (RGUHS) in Karnataka. His expertise spans hand trauma, brachial plexus reconstruction, tendon repair, and congenital hand conditions, making him a key referral point for musculoskeletal emergencies and elective procedures across North India.

Dr. Shah's clinical depth is reinforced by multiple prestigious fellowships in hand and upper extremity surgery. He trained under renowned surgeons at Ganga Hospital in Coimbatore (plastic, hand, and microvascular reconstruction), B.J. Wadia Hospital for Children in Mumbai (congenital and paediatric hand surgery), and Laud Clinic in Mumbai (hand trauma and sports injuries). This combination of formal residency and subspecialty fellowships has equipped him to manage complex cases—from acute hand replantation and digit salvage to chronic conditions like Dupuytren's contracture and carpal tunnel syndrome. He has presented his work at national conferences, earning Best Paper and Best Poster awards at major orthopedic symposia.

Dr. Shah is particularly experienced in treating international patients, including those from the Gulf region, East Africa, and SAARC countries who travel to Mumbai for advanced hand and orthopedic care. He communicates fluently in English and Hindi, and Gleneagles Global Hospitals maintains a dedicated international patient liaison team to coordinate consultations, medical records, and logistics. Patients appreciate his methodical diagnostic approach and candid discussion of surgical options, whether conservative or operative.
