Dr. Raghunath K J

Dr. Raghunath K J is a Senior Consultant in General Surgery at Apollo Hospital, Greams Road, Chennai — one of India's most respected healthcare institutions. With over 24 years of surgical experience, he brings a rare combination of rigorous international training and deep clinical expertise to his patients. He is equally comfortable handling straightforward day procedures and complex surgical cases, always with the same careful attention.

What sets Dr. Raghunath apart is his 15-year surgical career in the United Kingdom, where he earned his Fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons (FRCS) — a globally recognised mark of surgical excellence. That time abroad sharpened both his technical skills and his understanding of patient-centred care, standards he has carried back to his practice in Chennai.

Patients and families consistently describe him as thorough, calm, and genuinely approachable. He takes time to explain a diagnosis clearly, walks patients through their options without pressure, and remains closely involved throughout recovery. For many people, that reassurance matters just as much as the surgery itself.

For international patients travelling to Chennai for treatment, Dr. Raghunath is a trusted choice. His experience working within the UK's NHS means he understands the expectations of patients from abroad — clear communication, transparent planning, and care that feels personal, not rushed. Gaf Healthcare is pleased to coordinate consultations and treatment with him on your behalf.
