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 Padi and the surrounding areas of Padi, TVS Nagar, the Padi flyover corridor and the industrial belt.
Getting to Billroth Hospitals from Padi
Villivakkam and Korattur railway stations both serve Padi, so your starting point depends on which side of the neighborhood you live on. Villivakkam is the closer of the two to Chennai Central.
By road, the Padi flyover corridor connects toward Anna Nagar and then to Gajapathy Street in Shenoy Nagar. The flyover junction is the main bottleneck during shift changes.
Because this is a working industrial area, a common question here is how soon someone can get back on the factory floor. That answer depends on the repair performed, and it is worth raising at the first consultation rather than after surgery.

- 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.
Padi Patient Questions
How do I reach the hospital from Padi?
Villivakkam and Korattur stations both serve Padi. By road, use the Padi flyover corridor toward Anna Nagar and then Gajapathy Street.
How soon can I return to factory work after hernia repair?
Longer than for desk work. Ask at your first consultation so the timing can be planned around your shifts rather than decided afterwards.
Is keyhole surgery better for someone doing manual work?
Usually yes. Keyhole repair causes less tissue trauma than open surgery, which generally means a faster return to physical activity.
