Dr. Arun Goel

I am an orthopaedic surgeon with 40+ years of experience across various sub-specialties of orthopaedics. I have successfully conducted complicated reconstructive surgeries and fixation of artificial limbs. Besides my adult patients with upper-extremity joint conditions, the majority of my patients are children and adolescents, mainly because my forte is treating musculoskeletal ailments in children. I am often referred for rare paediatric orthopaedic disorders, in India and from abroad.

I am active in clinical research and have chaired numerous medical conferences as the guest speaker. In my capacity, I have treated the President of India and been an advisor to the Ministry of Rehabilitation.

I have had the honour of being on the advisory board of “Rotary Viklang Kendra” which provides free limbs to poor patients. I am the Founder Secretary of the Delhi Orthopaedic Association and member of many national and international orthopaedic associations. I am also an alumni member of A.O Swiss Foundation of Paediatric Orthopaedic Society of India (POSI). Because of my longstanding experience in orthopaedics I have also served as an Examiner to several universities in India for MS and DNB courses.

Childhood injuries and bone disorders may alter or impede growth, therefore, as a paediatric orthopaedic surgeon, I use a developmental approach to ensure each child's optimal lifetime function. I let no opportunity go abegging to help children in any way that I can.

I have often handled the worst case scenarios, wherein my patients came with chronic orthopedic conditions. I make every possible effort to make their lives healthier and happier.

Understanding the nuances of orthopaedics is often overwhelming, especially to a child’s parents. I understand that it takes patience, compassion and time to gain the trust of parents and the child and ultimately help them believe that they will heal. Given my commitment to excellence I am very confident that I can help your child recover and enjoy a healthy life. Along with the treatment of immediate as well as any chronic joint problems, I always strive to integrate the doctrine of prevention in all my treatment plans as a way to alleviate possible future difficulties.
