About Dr. SK Rajan
Dr. SK Rajan is Chief of Neuro Spine Surgery and the Advanced Kinematic Spine (AKS) division at Artemis Hospital in Gurugram, where he combines over 17 years of clinical experience with internationally recognised expertise in complex spine care. He holds advanced qualifications including MCh (Neurosurgery) from Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, New Delhi, complemented by prestigious international fellowships at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital in the United Kingdom and the Glenwood Clinic Spine Institute in the USA. These formative experiences equipped him with advanced surgical techniques from globally leading spine surgeons and shaped his approach to patient-centred care.
Dr. Rajan's surgical practice spans the full breadth of spine pathology—congenital malformations, degenerative disc disease, scoliosis, trauma, infection, and spinal tumours. He is particularly skilled in endoscopic and minimally invasive spine surgery, spinal fusion procedures, and complex deformity correction. His operative volume and technical depth have established him as a trusted surgeon for cases that demand precision and innovation. He holds professional memberships with the North American Spine Society, the Association of Spine Surgeons of India, and the World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies, reflecting his commitment to international standards.
International patients form a meaningful part of Dr. Rajan's practice, particularly from the Gulf Cooperation Council countries, Africa, and the Indian subcontinent. He brings a patient-first philosophy to each consultation, ensuring that overseas visitors receive comprehensive preoperative assessment, clear communication about treatment options, and coordinated post-operative follow-up. His fluency in English and Hindi, combined with Artemis Hospital's international patient services, ensures a smooth and reassuring experience for families travelling for treatment.
Artemis Hospital, where Dr. Rajan leads the spine division, is a Joint Commission International (JCI) accredited facility in Gurugram's healthcare corridor. The hospital offers state-of-the-art operating theatres equipped with intraoperative neuromonitoring and advanced imaging, a dedicated neurosurgery intensive care unit, and a strong rehabilitation programme. Its reputation for spine care, combined with multilingual staff and dedicated international patient coordination, makes it a preferred destination for complex spinal surgery in India.
For international patients considering spine surgery abroad, Dr. Rajan offers a unique combination: world-class surgical training, extensive hands-on experience, and a facility designed to support overseas patients through their entire journey from consultation to return home.
