"The best surgeon is not the one with the fanciest office. It's the one whose patients feel better and recover faster." — This philosophy guides Dr. Naveen's entire practice.
His International Credentials & Training
In orthopedic surgery, international training matters. A lot.
Dr. Naveen holds MS in Orthopaedics from KEM Hospital, Mumbai (one of India's premier medical institutions), but that's just the foundation. What really sets him apart:
Fellowship Training Locations:
- Germany: World-renowned for precision orthopedic surgery and biomechanics
- South Korea: Pioneer in robotic-assisted surgery and minimally invasive techniques
