Dr. Anil Bhan

I am Dr. Anil Bhan, a Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgeon dedicated to advancing heart care for over three decades. A Gold Medalist from Medical College, Srinagar, I have performed 15,000+ successful cardiac and vascular procedures and hold the largest experience in aortic surgery in India. I have designed and developed over 50 surgical instruments that are used globally and was privileged to be part of the team that performed India’s first successful heart transplant in 1994. I have also played a pivotal role in establishing leading cardiac surgical programs at Puttaparthi (1992), Whitefield (2001), and Max Heart and Vascular Institute, Saket (2004). My passion is delivering excellence in complex aortic surgeries, heart transplants, valve repairs, advanced vascular procedures and I am honored to bring this expertise to Moolchand to help set new benchmarks in cardiac care.
