OP Timings:

Profile Overview:

Dr. Satish Reddy Gandavarapu is a Sr. Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon practising at KIMS Hospital, Ministers Road, Secunderabad, with over 25 years of experience and more than 7,500 surgeries performed. He graduated as Gold Medallist in MS Orthopaedics, receiving the Nicholas Andre Medal for the highest academic distinction in his cohort, and went on to complete four international fellowships across three continents — Orthopaedic Oncology at the Rizzoli Orthopaedic Institute, Bologna (Italy); Orthopaedic Oncology at the Royal Orthopaedic Hospital, Birmingham (UK); the Villis R Marshall Fellowship in arthroscopy and arthroplasty at Flinders Medical Centre, Adelaide (Australia); and MCh Orthopaedics at Ninewells Hospital, University of Dundee (UK).

On returning to Hyderabad, he joined Osmania Medical College and Hospital as Assistant Professor, and in 2003 introduced limb salvage surgery to Andhra Pradesh and Telangana — becoming the first fellowship-trained orthopaedic oncologist in the combined states and transforming outcomes for bone tumour patients who would previously have required amputation.

Alongside his clinical practice, Dr. Satish founded Prime Hospitals, which grew into Aster Prime Hospital under his leadership as Executive Director and Managing Director, attracting private equity investment before he exited by selling his stake to the Aster Group in 2022. He subsequently completed the Advanced Management Programme in Healthcare at the Indian School of Business (ISB), Hyderabad, graduating as Valedictorian of his cohort.

Dr. Satish specialises in the diagnosis and management of orthopaedic oncology, joint replacement, sports injuries, complex trauma, and upper limb surgery, and is an AO Trauma Accredited Faculty member, recognised for teaching excellence in operative fracture management. Outside the operating theatre, he has completed four World Marathon Majors — Tokyo, Boston, Chicago, and New York.
