Dr. Vijay Chandar R — Consultant Orthopedic Surgeon at Manipal Hospitals Kanakapura Road. Over 15 years of experience and 2000+ successful joint replacement and orthopedic surgeries.
JP Nagar is one of Bangalore's most established residential neighbourhoods, home to a large population of senior citizens and active professionals — exactly the two groups most affected by knee arthritis and sports-related knee injuries. Yet many JP Nagar residents drive 20 to 40 kilometres to central Bangalore for orthopedic consultations, spending more time in traffic than in the clinic.
We offer JP Nagar residents a genuine local alternative. Our clinic sits directly on Kanakapura Main Road — just past JP Nagar Phase 9 — and Dr. Vijay Chandar performs surgeries at Manipal Hospitals Kanakapura Road, a NABH-accredited multi-specialty hospital with modern operation theatres and 24-hour intensivist cover.
Compare this with driving to central Bangalore hospitals in Whitefield, Bannerghatta Road, or Old Airport Road — often 45 to 75 minutes each way through peak-hour traffic. For knee replacement patients who need multiple follow-up visits and physiotherapy sessions, proximity is a real clinical benefit.
Our JP Nagar patient base falls into two broad groups, each with distinct concerns:
Total cost depends on the implant type, insurance coverage, room category, and whether one or both knees are being operated. Approximate ranges at Manipal Hospitals Kanakapura Road:
| Procedure | Approximate range (₹) |
|---|---|
| Total knee replacement (single side) | 2.5 – 3.8 lakh |
| Total knee replacement (both sides, simultaneous) | 4.2 – 6.0 lakh |
| Partial (unicondylar) knee replacement | 2.0 – 2.8 lakh |
Most major health insurers cover knee replacement in full. Manipal Hospitals is empanelled with all leading providers — Star Health, HDFC ERGO, Bajaj Allianz, Care Health, Aditya Birla, and most corporate GPA plans. See our full pricing and insurance guide →
Most JP Nagar patients who come for a consultation leave with a non-surgical plan. Bring your recent X-rays or MRI — we will give you a clear, honest recommendation.
