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 Maduravoyal and the surrounding areas of Maduravoyal, Poonamallee High Road, the Koyambedu approach and Alapakkam side.
Getting to Billroth Hospitals from Maduravoyal
The road route from Maduravoyal runs along Poonamallee High Road through Koyambedu and then toward Anna Nagar and Gajapathy Street.
That road is heavily used, so many Maduravoyal patients drive as far as Koyambedu and take the Green Line metro from there to Shenoy Nagar. On a surgery morning this is the more dependable approach.
Maduravoyal is the furthest of the western neighborhoods in this catchment, so if you are coming for an early admission it is worth allowing a clear margin rather than timing it tightly.

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.
Maduravoyal Patient Questions
What is the most reliable route from Maduravoyal on a surgery day?
Drive to Koyambedu and take the Green Line metro to Shenoy Nagar. That avoids the least predictable stretch of Poonamallee High Road.
Can pre-operative tests be done in one visit?
Usually yes. Call the helpline ahead so the tests can be grouped, which matters when you are travelling from the western suburbs.
Does Dr. Kumar treat complex and recurrent hernias?
Yes. Complex abdominal wall reconstruction and repair of hernias that have returned after previous surgery are a core part of the practice.
