About Dr. Manish Kulshrestha
Dr. Manish Kulshrestha is a General and Laparoscopic Surgeon with over 24 years of hands-on surgical experience. He currently serves as Director and Unit Head of General Surgery at Fortis Hospital, Shalimar Bagh in New Delhi — one of India's most respected tertiary care institutions. Over the course of his career, he has built a strong reputation for handling everything from everyday surgical conditions to complex procedures with quiet confidence and genuine care for his patients.
Dr. Kulshrestha's journey in surgery has been shaped by long-term commitment to a single craft. He was among the early team at Max Healthcare when it launched in 2002, and that foundation gave him wide exposure across diverse surgical settings. He later moved to Fortis, where he has continued to grow his practice with a particular focus on minimally invasive techniques — including laparoscopic and robotic surgery — as well as Single Incision Laparoscopic Surgery (SILS), a refined approach that reduces scarring and speeds up recovery. He has also presented his work at national and international surgical conferences, contributing to the broader medical community.
Patients consistently describe Dr. Kulshrestha as someone who takes time to explain things clearly before any procedure. Whether it's a gallbladder removal, a hernia repair, or a more involved abdominal surgery, he walks families through what to expect — and that transparency builds trust quickly. His clinical focus spans gallbladder disease, hernias of all types, appendix conditions, hemorrhoids, anal fissures and fistulas, and abdominal wall repairs.
For international patients, Dr. Kulshrestha represents exactly what many families are looking for when they travel to India for surgery: deep experience, a calm and communicative approach, and access to advanced surgical technology at a hospital that meets global standards. GAF Healthcare works directly with his team to help you plan your visit smoothly — from the first inquiry to your follow-up care back home.
