Where to find Dr. Kumar of Billroth Hospitals: 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 Kilpauk and the surrounding areas of Kilpauk Garden Road, Poonamallee High Road and the Kilpauk Medical College area.
Getting to Billroth Hospitals from Kilpauk
Kilpauk Medical College station sits on the same Green Line corridor as Shenoy Nagar, with Pachaiyappa's College in between, so the metro journey is short and entirely underground.
By road, Kilpauk connects to the hospital through Poonamallee High Road and Gajapathy Street. This is a busy stretch through the middle of the day, so for a first consultation many Kilpauk patients prefer the metro and an auto at the far end.
Because Kilpauk is a hospital district, a fair number of patients reaching Dr. Kumar of Billroth Hospitals from here are coming for a second opinion on a hernia already diagnosed elsewhere. Bring the scan images themselves, not only the report, if you are in that position.

Every hernia service Dr. Kumar of Billroth Hospitals offers is available to patients from Kilpauk, since all consulting and surgery happens at the Shenoy Nagar hospital. Rather than repeat the clinical detail here, each is set out in full on its own page:

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.

Take the Green Line from Kilpauk Medical College toward Anna Nagar and get down at Shenoy Nagar. The hospital is on Gajapathy Street nearby.
Does Dr. Kumar of Billroth Hospitals handle hernias that have come back after surgery?
