About Dr. Sree Krishna Phani Sankar Iragavarapu
Dr. Sree Krishna Phani Sankar Iragavarapu is a Consultant General Surgeon based at Apollo Health City, Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad — one of India's most respected multi-specialty hospitals. With more than ten years of hands-on surgical experience, he handles a broad spectrum of procedures, from everyday general surgery to advanced bariatric and robotic operations. Patients and referring doctors alike know him as a surgeon who combines technical precision with genuine warmth.
His training reflects a commitment to staying at the leading edge of surgery. After completing his foundational medical degree and a rigorous DNB in General Surgery, Dr. Iragavarapu went on to earn fellowships in Minimal Access Surgery, Robotic Surgery, and Bariatric Surgery. This layered qualification means he can offer patients the least invasive approach for their specific condition — whether that is a laparoscopic hernia repair, a robotic-assisted procedure, or a weight-loss surgery designed to improve long-term metabolic health.
What patients consistently appreciate is how Dr. Iragavarapu communicates. He takes time before and after every procedure to explain what is happening, why it is recommended, and what recovery will look like in plain, straightforward language. There is no rush, and there are no confusing terms left unexplained. Families say they leave consultations feeling informed and at ease — and that matters enormously when someone is facing surgery far from home.
For international patients traveling to Hyderabad through Gaf Healthcare, Dr. Iragavarapu's profile is particularly reassuring. He practises at a globally accredited Apollo facility, carries fellowship-level expertise in robotic and bariatric techniques, and is comfortable guiding patients through every step — from the first video consultation to post-operative follow-up. If you or a loved one is considering surgery in India, he is a doctor whose care you can feel confident in from day one.
