Dr. Charita Pradhan

Dr. Charita Pradhan is a seasoned General and Laparoscopic Surgeon with over 27 years of experience, currently practicing as a Consultant at Apollo Hospitals, Navi Mumbai. She is widely respected for her expertise in minimal access surgery — a field she has dedicated much of her career to refining. Whether it's a gallbladder removal, a complex hernia repair, or a weight-loss surgery, her patients consistently describe her as someone who takes the time to explain every step of the process, so they feel genuinely informed and at ease.

Dr. Pradhan completed her MBBS and MS in General Surgery from Grant Medical College and Sir JJ Group of Hospitals in Mumbai — one of India's most storied medical institutions. She went on to earn a Fellowship in Minimal Access Surgery from the Association of Minimal Access Surgeons of India (AMASI), and has since pursued additional specialized training in colorectal surgery, robotic surgery, and surgical oncology. Before joining Apollo Hospitals, she built a strong clinical foundation at SRV Mamta Hospital in Goregaon, Mumbai, adding depth to an already broad surgical skill set.

What patients and families often appreciate most about Dr. Pradhan is her calm, no-jargon communication style. She makes complex surgical decisions feel manageable, walking people through their options without rush. Her approach balances technical precision with genuine compassion — a combination that matters enormously when someone is facing surgery far from home.

For international patients coming to India for treatment, Dr. Pradhan offers the reassurance of world-class laparoscopic technique within the trusted environment of a leading Apollo hospital. Minimally invasive procedures mean shorter hospital stays, less post-operative discomfort, and a faster return to normal life — all of which matter deeply when you are travelling for care. GAF Healthcare is happy to help coordinate your consultation and treatment journey with her.
