In short: Dr Dev Padia is an orthopaedic and joint replacement surgeon in Surat. He holds an MS in Orthopaedics and has completed fellowship training at University Hospital Zurich, Careggi University Hospital and the University of Utah. His practice centres on the knee and hip, including primary and revision joint replacement.
Qualifications and training
Dr Padia holds an MS in Orthopaedics, and has undertaken fellowship training at three international centres:
University Hospital Zurich
Switzerland
Careggi University Hospital
Florence, Italy
University of Utah
United States
Fellowship training matters in joint replacement because the difference between a routine result and a poor one usually comes down to judgement: whether to operate at all, which implant suits a particular joint, and how to handle the cases that do not follow the textbook. That judgement is built by working through volume under supervision, not by reading about it.
What he treats
The practice is deliberately narrow. Rather than covering the whole of general orthopaedics, it concentrates on the knee and hip, together with shoulder work and the trauma cases that follow from accidents and falls.
In practice that means arthritis of the knee and hip, sports injuries involving ligament and cartilage damage, fractures around the hip and pelvis, and joint replacement — including revision surgery, where a previous replacement has worn, loosened or failed. Revision work is technically harder than first-time replacement and many surgeons do not take it on.
How he approaches treatment
Two things shape how a case is handled here.
Diagnosis before treatment. Knee pain is a symptom, not a diagnosis. Pain on stairs, pain at night, and pain that comes with swelling all point in different directions, and the treatment that follows is different in each case. Getting that right first avoids operating on the wrong problem.
Surgery is not the default. A large proportion of the people who come to the clinic do not need an operation. Medication, an injection, physiotherapy or a change in activity resolves a great many knee and hip problems. Surgery is discussed when those have genuinely been tried, or when the joint damage is advanced enough that they will not help.
The aim across both is straightforward: restore movement, reduce pain, and get people back to the things they had stopped doing.

The clinic
Vedaant Orthopaedic Center is in Surat, on the ground floor of Galloping Corridor on GD Goenka School Road, between Canal Road and VIP Road. The clinic is open seven days a week, including Sunday mornings — unusual for orthopaedic practice in the city, and useful when a joint problem does not conveniently wait for a weekday.
Patients travel from across Surat and the wider South Gujarat region. The clinic holds a 4.9 rating across more than 560 reviews on its Google listing. You can read those reviews or watch patients describe their recovery before deciding.
What to expect at a consultation
- History and examination. How the pain behaves matters as much as the scan — when it started, what makes it worse, and what you have already stopped doing because of it.
- Imaging where it changes the answer. An X-ray or MRI is ordered when it will alter the plan, not as a formality.
- The options, in plain language. Including the option of doing nothing surgical yet, and what that would mean over the next year.
- A written plan. So you can think it over, and discuss it at home, rather than deciding in the room.

Frequently asked questions
What are Dr Padia’s qualifications?
He holds an MS in Orthopaedics, with fellowship training at University Hospital Zurich in Switzerland, Careggi University Hospital in Italy, and the University of Utah in the United States.
Does he only do joint replacement?
No. Joint replacement is a significant part of the practice, but a large share of consultations end in non-surgical treatment — medication, injection, physiotherapy or activity modification. Surgery is discussed when those options have not worked or the joint damage is advanced.
Does he take revision cases?
Yes. Revision joint replacement, where an earlier knee or hip replacement has worn, loosened, become infected or failed, is part of the practice. These cases are assessed individually because the surgical plan depends on what has gone wrong and how much bone remains.
Which days is the clinic open?
Monday to Saturday from 10:00 am to 8:00 pm, and Sunday from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm.
Do I need a referral to book?
No. You can call the clinic directly on +91 6355 991 466 to arrange a consultation. If another doctor has already seen you, bringing their notes and any imaging is useful.
Which languages are spoken at the clinic?
Consultations are held in English, Hindi and Gujarati.
