Best Pediatric Cardiac Surgeons in India

The first step is to share the diagnosis and any available reports- echocardiogram, MRI, discharge summary, or referring doctor's letter with our team on WhatsApp (+91-9319955321). We'll review the case, identify the most appropriate pediatric cardiac surgeon from our listed specialists, and arrange a teleconsultation so the surgeon can review the reports and give you a recommended treatment plan and cost estimate. You don't need to commit to anything at this stage. Most families find this initial consultation brings significant clarity at a very stressful time.

This is the question every parent asks and it deserves a direct answer. India's top pediatric cardiac centers, including Fortis Escorts Heart Institute, Apollo Hospitals, Max Healthcare, and Artemis, perform hundreds of congenital heart surgeries every year on infants, newborns, and children. These hospitals are JCI and NABH accredited, maintain dedicated pediatric cardiac ICUs with 24-hour intensivist cover, and have surgical teams that have trained at institutions in the UK, US, and Europe. Many of the surgeons listed on this page have 20–40 years of experience specifically in pediatric cardiac surgery. Families from Africa, the Middle East, and South Asia regularly travel to India for their children's heart surgery with strong outcomes.

Hospital stay after pediatric heart surgery is typically 7 to 12 days, depending on the procedure and the child's condition. Most families need a total stay of 3 to 4 weeks in India, including pre-operative testing, the surgery itself, ICU recovery, ward recovery, and the post-discharge observation period before it is safe to fly. HOSPIDIO arranges accommodation near the hospital for the accompanying family, local transport, interpreter support if needed, and coordinates closely with the surgical team so you always know what's happening and what comes next.

We understand that when a child needs heart surgery abroad, the entire family is under enormous stress. Beyond coordinating the medical side, HOSPIDIO helps with the medical visa invitation letter, arranges family accommodation near the hospital (not just for the patient), provides local transport throughout the stay, connects you with hospital staff who speak your language where possible, and ensures you receive the complete discharge package, surgical notes, echo report, medication list, and follow-up instructions before you return home. Our service is free to families. We are compensated by our hospital partners.

Exact costs depend on the child's age, weight, anatomy, complexity, and the hospital. Send us your child's diagnosis and echocardiogram report and we'll provide a cost estimate within 24 hours.
