About Dr. Roopesh Khanna J

Dr. Roopesh Khanna J is a seasoned General and Laparoscopic Surgeon based in Bengaluru, with over two decades of experience caring for patients across a wide range of surgical needs. He practises at Apollo Hospitals on Bannerghatta Road and is also affiliated with Apollo Speciality Hospital, Jayanagar — two of the city's most respected surgical centres. His day-to-day work spans minimally invasive procedures, gastrointestinal surgery, hernia repair, thyroid and parathyroid surgery, and colorectal care.

Dr. Khanna holds an impressive set of credentials — MBBS and MS in General Surgery form his core foundation, and he went on to earn the MRCS from the Royal College of Surgeons (UK), a Fellowship in Minimal Access Surgery (FMAS), and a Diploma in Laparoscopic Surgery. This combination of Indian and internationally recognised training reflects a genuine commitment to staying at the forefront of surgical practice. His career has taken him through premier institutions in Chennai and Bengaluru, giving him broad exposure to complex and high-volume surgical cases.

Patients and families frequently highlight how approachable Dr. Khanna is. He takes time to walk people through what a procedure involves, what recovery looks like, and what to realistically expect — which matters enormously when someone is facing surgery for the first time or managing a serious condition. His preference for minimally invasive techniques, wherever clinically appropriate, means smaller incisions, less post-operative discomfort, and a faster return to everyday life.

For international patients travelling to India for surgical care, Dr. Khanna is a particularly strong fit. He is fluent in English, Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, and Kannada, so language is rarely a barrier. His affiliation with Apollo Hospitals — a name trusted across borders — and his broad surgical expertise make him a reliable choice for patients coming from across South Asia, the Middle East, and beyond. Gaf Healthcare is happy to help coordinate your appointment, travel, and hospital formalities.
