Dr. Shweta Kumari
Experience: 13+ years
Sarvodaya Hospital, Sector 8, Faridabad
Faridabad, India
Introduction
If a newborn needs surgery in its first days of life, or a growing kid has a urological or neurological issue that’s beyond what a general surgeon should touch, Dr. Shweta Kumari is usually the one who gets called in. She’s Senior Consultant for Paediatric Surgery at Sarvodaya, and honestly, operating on infants is a completely different skill set than adult surgery, where the margin for error is smaller, the anatomy is smaller, and everything about it demands more precision.
About Dr. Shweta Kumari
Dr. Shweta Kumari started at Patna Medical College for her MBBS, moved to IMS-BHU Varanasi for an MS in General Surgery, and then landed at King George’s Medical University in Lucknow for her MCh in Paediatric Surgery. That last part matters more than it might sound; she trained there under Padmashree Professor S.N. Kureel, and KGMU’s paediatric surgery program has a reputation for putting surgeons through genuinely difficult cases, not just textbook stuff.
Before Sarvodaya, she was a Senior Registrar at VMMC & Safdarjung Hospital in Delhi (one of the busiest training grounds for this specialty in the whole country), and picked up visiting consultant work across a few Faridabad hospitals along the way. She’s kept adding to her training too: a 2019 certificate course in paediatric minimally invasive surgery, and more recently, in 2025, one in paediatric urology through the Royal College of Surgeons. So this isn’t someone who finished training and stopped.

Patient Experience & Approach
There’s a particular kind of fear parents carry when their newborn needs surgery, and from what patients say, Dr. Shweta Kumari doesn’t add to that panic; she seems to stay level-headed even in the scarier situations, which honestly matters just as much as surgical skill in these cases. She takes time to break things down for terrified parents in plain language, no jargon dump, and she tends to stick around for the recovery too instead of handing off once the operation’s done.
