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 Anna Nagar and the surrounding areas of Anna Nagar East, Anna Nagar West, Tower Park, the Roundtana and Shanthi Colony.
Getting to Billroth Hospitals from Anna Nagar
Anna Nagar East is the adjacent Green Line station to Shenoy Nagar, so the metro journey to the hospital is a single stop. Anna Nagar Tower is one further along the same line. For most Anna Nagar residents, the metro is genuinely faster than driving, particularly during morning hours.
By road, the hospital is reached from the Roundtana and Shanthi Colony side without needing to join Poonamallee High Road, which is the route most Anna Nagar patients find easiest for a first consultation when they are carrying scan reports and files.
If you are coming from the Tower Park side, allow a little more time on weekday evenings. For a scheduled surgery admission, the metro removes that uncertainty completely.

What to Bring to Your First Consultation

- A list of your current medicines, including blood thinners and diabetes medication.
- 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.
