Where to find Dr. Kumar: Billroth Hospitals, 505, First Floor, OP Block, No: 11/59, Gajapathy Street, Shenoy Nagar, Chennai 600030. This is the single consulting and operating location, serving Aminjikarai and the surrounding areas of Nelson Manickam Road, Ampa Skywalk, Arunachalam Road and the Cooum bridge stretch.
Getting to Billroth Hospitals from Aminjikarai
Aminjikarai runs along Nelson Manickam Road, which connects directly toward Gajapathy Street and the hospital. For most residents this is a short auto ride rather than a journey.
On the metro, Pachaiyappa's College is the nearest Green Line station on the corridor between Kilpauk Medical College and Shenoy Nagar, making the underground route a practical alternative when the Skywalk junction is congested.
The Ampa Skywalk junction and the Cooum bridge stretch are the two points that slow this trip down at peak hours. If your appointment is in the evening, leaving a little earlier is worth it.

What to Bring to Your First Consultation

- Details of any previous abdominal surgery, with discharge summaries if you have them.
- Clothing that allows a straightforward abdominal and groin examination.
When You Should Not Wait for an Appointment
If your hernia becomes suddenly and severely painful, turns hard and will not push back in, changes color, or comes with vomiting or fever, do not wait for a scheduled slot. Go to the nearest emergency department. Our emergency hernia care page explains what happens next, and the warning signs guide covers how to tell the difference.
