About Dr. Yash Gulati
Dr. Yash Gulati has forty years of experience in the operating room. He holds the incredibly rare distinction of serving as the Honorary Surgeon to the President of India, the Armed Forces, and the BSF. Over his career, he has actually operated on multiple Indian Presidents and a former Prime Minister. He didn’t just build a successful practice; he shaped how spine and joint surgery is done in the country.
He was the very first Indian surgeon to perform Endoscopic Disc Surgery, allowing patients with slipped discs to be treated through tiny keyholes instead of massive back incisions. He introduced gyroscope-based, computer-navigated knee replacements to India, making the surgery incredibly precise without needing to drill pins into the bone. He also heavily specializes in complex total hip replacements, especially for patients battling sickle cell disease.
