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 Perambur and the surrounding areas of Perambur Barracks Road, Jamalia, Sembiam and the Perambur station area.
Getting to Billroth Hospitals from Perambur
Perambur railway station is a substantial junction with four platforms, served by the West, West North and West South lines of the Chennai Suburban Railway on the Chennai Beach and Central to Arakkonam section. For most Perambur patients the train is the fastest way into the city.
From Chennai Central you can change to the Green Line metro and travel up to Shenoy Nagar, or take an auto directly across through Kilpauk.
By road, Perambur connects through Sembiam and Konnur High Road toward Kilpauk. This is a slower route in the evenings, so a morning consultation slot generally works better from here.

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.
Perambur Patient Questions
What is the easiest way to reach the hospital from Perambur?
Take a suburban train from Perambur station to Chennai Central, then the Green Line metro to Shenoy Nagar, or travel by road through Kilpauk.
Does Dr. Kumar treat hernias in older patients?
Yes. Age alone rarely rules out repair. Fitness for anesthesia matters more, and that is assessed before surgery is planned.
What happens if a hernia is left untreated?
Most enlarge slowly over time. The main risk is tissue becoming trapped in the defect, which turns a planned keyhole operation into emergency surgery.
