Overview:

Dr. V. Anand Naik is a distinguished, internationally trained spine surgeon with more than 21 years of extensive clinical experience in advanced spinal care. Over the course of his career, he has built a reputation for managing complex and high-risk spine conditions with precision, innovation, and patient-centered care. His professional journey includes key leadership roles at some of India’s most reputed healthcare institutions, including PSRI Hospital, Medanta - The Medicity, CK Birla Hospital, and Manipal Hospital. Dr. Naik is widely recognized for introducing and advancing several cutting-edge spine procedures in India.

He has been at the forefront of motion-preserving spine surgery, particularly lumbar hybrid artificial disc replacement, offering patients an alternative to conventional fusion in carefully selected cases. In addition, he has refined and popularized advanced fusion techniques, including minimally invasive and lateral approaches, to enhance surgical outcomes and accelerate recovery. A pioneer in technology-driven spine surgery, Dr. Naik has actively integrated robotic navigation, computer-assisted guidance systems, and mixed reality platforms into operative practice. These innovations significantly enhance surgical accuracy, implant positioning, and intraoperative safety, reducing complications and improving long-term results. His work reflects a strong commitment to precision-based spine care aligned with global best practices.

His comprehensive expertise spans degenerative spine disorders, spinal deformities, revision surgeries, disc replacement, tumor reconstruction, and minimally invasive spine interventions, positioning him as a leading authority in advanced spinal treatment both nationally and internationally.
