Thirty years of orthopedic care on Varachha Main Road
Shiroya Orthopedic Hospital was the first orthopedic hospital on this road. It has been treating fractures, joints and spines in Varachha since Dr. Arvind Shiroya began practising here in 1996.
A single-speciality hospital
We treat bones, joints and the spine, and nothing else. That is a deliberate choice. A patient arriving here with a broken hip is seen by an orthopedic surgeon, in a theatre built for orthopedic surgery, by staff who do this every day.
The hospital offers the full range of orthopedic care for adults and children – diagnosis, surgery and rehabilitation – across trauma, joint replacement, arthroscopy and spine surgery.
From seven beds to sixteen
From a seven-bed practice in 1997 to sixteen beds, a rebuilt theatre and NABH accreditation – the dates behind the hospital patients walk into today.

What is here
Sixteen beds is a deliberate size. It is small enough that the surgeon who operated on you is the one who sees you the next morning.
- Ultra-modern operating theatre
- Rebuilt in the 2023 renovation, with the imaging and instrumentation that joint replacement and spine surgery need.
- 16 inpatient beds
- With a nursing team that knows orthopedic recovery rather than general medicine.
- On-site imaging
- X-ray and image intensifier, so a fracture is diagnosed and treated in the same visit.
- 24-hour emergency
- An orthopedic surgeon on call every hour of the year – not a general casualty department.
- Cashless insurance
- Seventeen insurers and TPAs empanelled. See the list.
We have earned the trust of generations of patients based on our track record of delivering superior clinical outcomes.
