About the surgeon
Dr. Shounak Taywade is a Consultant Orthopedics and Joint Replacement Surgeon based in Nagpur, with over a decade of clinical experience restoring mobility for patients who have often tried everything else first. His practice is built on a simple idea: every joint β and every patient's fear of surgery β deserves individual attention rather than a standard script.
Beyond routine hip and knee replacement, he trained internationally in adult joint reconstruction, advanced arthroplasty, and computer-navigated replacement techniques β bringing robotic-assisted and minimally invasive options to patients in Central India who would otherwise travel to Mumbai, Pune, or abroad for the same standard of care.
At Taywade Multispeciality Hospital, he also manages orthopedic trauma and fractures, sports injuries, and non-surgical joint pain β so that surgery is offered as the right option, not the only one.
