Introducing Dr. Apoorva Makan, a 4 times Gold medalist pediatric and neonatal surgeon from Pune, Maharashtra, India. 

She provides online consultation facility for people anywhere in India or outside India looking for pediatric surgery or neonatal surgery consultation. On this page we explain you various online pediatric surgical services provided by Dr. Apoorva Makan. 

So, let’s get started with a quick introduction on what you should be aware before you select a pediatric surgeon for your child in India (especially online).

The Right Surgeon

Why choosing the right Pediatric Surgeon matters ?

It is important to choose the right pediatric surgeon for your child because children are not just simply small adults. 

Their organs, tissues, blood vessels, and airway and other body structures are still developing, and that is why age-specific knowledge with special training in techniques and pediatric anesthesia are important. 

Here a general surgeon may perform many types of operations in adult, but pediatric problems require dedicated training in treating infant and children. 

And this is where a right pediatric surgeon makes a difference. The pediatric surgeon should be able to check the child, understand the condition, and confidently explain whether surgery is required or not. 

Let us now understand which all points you should consider while you choose the right pediatric surgeon for your child in India.

How to Choose Right Pediatric Surgeon for Your Child in India ?

Pediatric surgery requires specialised training because children have different anatomy, physiology and surgical requirements compared with adults. 

Check whether the doctor has specific qualifications in pediatric surgery rather than only general surgery training. Dr. Apoorva Makan holds MCh in Pediatric Surgery and DrNB in Pediatric Surgery, along with her MBBS and MS in General Surgery.

Look for recognised medical qualifications, professional memberships, fellowships and relevant academic achievements. Dr. Apoorva Makan is a 4-Time Gold Medalist Pediatric Surgeon, including recognition in MCh Pediatric Surgery and DrNB Pediatric Surgery.

A newborn, infant, school-age child and teenager may require very different surgical approaches and perioperative care. For neonatal and infant conditions, experience with very young children is particularly important.

For complex cases, the availability of pediatric anaesthesia, NICU/PICU support, imaging, laboratory services and other specialists can be important. When considering an online consultation, ask where an in-person evaluation or surgery would be performed if required. Dr. Makan is affiliated with multiple child hospitals in Pune and PCMC, allowing treatment planning to be considered according to the child’s specific needs.

Before an online consultation, keep previous prescriptions, blood reports, ultrasound reports, CT/MRI scans, X-rays, discharge summaries and operative records ready. A detailed review can help the surgeon understand the child’s history and provide more informed guidance.

Patient reviews can provide information about communication, appointment experience and how parents felt during their interaction with the doctor. However, reviews should be considered alongside qualifications, pediatric surgical training, relevant experience and hospital facilities.

In Pune, Maharashtra, India, Dr. Apoorva Makan is a 4 times Gold medalist pediatric surgeon who has undergone special training along with international training in pediatric surgeries for newborn, infant, children, and adolescents.
