Dr. Kiran K. J.

Dr. Kiran K. J. is a Consultant General and Laparoscopic Surgeon at Apollo Hospitals on Bannerghatta Road, Bengaluru. With over 15 years of hands-on surgical experience, he is known for his skill in minimal access surgery — the kind of approach that means smaller cuts, less pain, and a faster return to everyday life for his patients.

His training journey reflects a genuine commitment to growing with the field. Beyond his MS in General Surgery, Dr. Kiran pursued a dedicated Fellowship in Laparoscopic, Obesity and Metabolic Surgery, followed by advanced training in robotic surgery on the da Vinci platform. He also trained across disciplines — surgical gastroenterology, minimal access surgery, and bariatric care — at premier institutions in India, including Apollo Hospitals itself. Earlier in his career, he served as a COREC/DMT Scholar, which gave him broad exposure to complex surgical cases across leading departments in Bangalore.

Patients and their families often speak about how Dr. Kiran takes the time to explain what is happening and why a particular approach is recommended. Whether someone is coming in for a routine gallbladder removal or a more involved hernia repair, he treats every case with the same level of attention. His expertise covers a wide range — from laparoscopic cholecystectomy and hernia repairs to proctological conditions like piles, fissures, and fistulas, as well as bariatric and metabolic surgery for weight-related health concerns.

For international patients travelling to Bengaluru for surgical care, Apollo Hospitals is a familiar and trusted name, and Dr. Kiran's ability to communicate clearly in English makes the entire process feel more manageable. Gaf Healthcare works closely with his team to coordinate consultations, pre-surgical assessments, and post-operative follow-up, so patients and families can focus on recovery rather than logistics.
