About Dr. Sanjay Kumar
Dr. Sanjay has been operating on hearts for over twenty-six years now. He handles routine single-valve replacements to extremely tough cases involving aortic dissections.
He performs minimally invasive cardiac procedures through smaller chest openings, so patients aren’t dealing with a full sternum cut and months of healing.
He got observership training in cardiac transplant and LVAD at the University of Chicago Hospital. In 2024 got international credit for pulling off a combined valve surgery with liver transplant, which very few centres attempt. Has done over twelve thousand cardiac and aortic surgeries across his career, working at Max, Batra, and Paras hospitals before Medanta.

Patient Experience & Approach
Families mention that Dr. Kumar doesn’t throw medical jargon when explaining why a bypass is needed over stenting. People whose family members needed emergency aortic surgery say he operated within hours and kept the family updated throughout. Those who got minimally invasive valve surgery appreciate the smaller scar and quicker discharge compared to what they expected from open-heart surgery.
