What patients come to me for
From early Knee Pain to cases other Surgeons refer on
Knee & Hip Arthritis
Physiotherapy, Injections and lifestyle changes first. Joint Replacement, including Robotic Knee Replacement, only when it will genuinely improve your life.
Revision Joint Replacement
When a replaced Knee or Hip hurts, loosens or feels unstable. Finding why the first one failed comes before any new Surgery.
Complex Fractures & Limb Reconstruction
Shattered Fractures, Non-Union, and pelvic and acetabular Injuries. Trained in the Ilizarov Technique in Kurgan, Russia.
Sports Injuries & Arthroscopy
Keyhole Surgery for the Knee and Shoulder: Meniscus and Ligament Injuries, Rotator Cuff Tears and Shoulder Instability, when Rehab alone won’t get you back to sport.
Back & Neck Pain
Long hours at a desk often show up as back and neck pain. Evening consultations at Balenso Ortho, close to the Financial District offices.
Not sure what you need?
Already been told you need Surgery? Bring your reports and get a calm, detailed second opinion before you decide.
“Two people can have the same X-Ray, but completely different lives. That’s why I treat the person, not just the image.”
How I think about your treatment
- I don’t rush you to Surgery. We start with what can work without it.
- I examine the Joint, not just the report.
- If you need Surgery, I’ll say so and explain why. If you don’t, I’ll say that too.
- You leave knowing what to do over the next few weeks and when to come back.

Reviews
We came to AIG for the treatment of my son's Expansile cystic ledion in his left little finger. Our experience at AIG specially Banjara Hills units was excellent.
A special thanks to Dr. Gowtham Chowdary Kankanala. He discussed our case in great detail with a lot of patience. He explained all the available treatment options clearly and was completely transparent in his advice.
I was asking questions not only as a doctor but also as an anxious father. Dr. Gowtham answered every question calmly and never made us feel rushed.
After the consultation, my son smiled and said, "We couldn't have landed in the hands of a better doctor." I couldn't agree more.
Thank you, Dr. Gowtham and the AIG team, for your kindness, honesty, and excellent care.

I recently underwent surgery with Dr. Gowtham Chowdary Kankanala at AIG Hospitals, Banjara Hills, to remove a cystic tumor from my pinky finger, and I could not have asked for a better experience.
From the initial consultation to the post-op care, Dr. Gowtham and his entire team were exceptionally knowledgeable, professional, and respectful. They took the time to patiently answer all of my questions and thoroughly explain every step of the procedure, which instantly put me at ease.
The surgical outcome has been fantastic, and the level of care and empathy shown by Dr. Gowtham Chowdary Kankanala and the hospital staff is truly commendable. I am deeply grateful for their expertise and highly recommend them to anyone seeking specialized orthopedic or hand care.

My mother had been suffering from severe pain and swelling in both knees for a long time. After a lot of research, we finally found a doctor like Dr. Gowtham. Initially, my mother was very afraid of undergoing surgery, but after meeting him, she completely changed her mind. He explained every detail so clearly and patiently, which gave us a lot of confidence and reassurance.
Dr. Gowtham is truly an exceptional orthopaedic surgeon. My mother underwent bilateral total knee replacement surgery, and the entire process went very smoothly. From the pre-operative stage to post-operative care, he provided outstanding support, care, and guidance throughout.
What makes him even more special is not just his medical expertise, but also his kindness and compassion as a human being. Whenever we needed advice or had concerns regarding the surgery and recovery, he was always available and just a phone call away. He stood by us at every step of this journey.
Thank you so much, Dr. Gowtham sir, for all your support, care, and dedication. You are an amazing doctor, and we will always remain grateful to you.
