Orthopaedic doctor in Athwa, Surat — shoulder & arthroscopy specialist
Athwa and Athwalines sit just off Ghod Dod Road — a short walk or drive to Dr. Aman Khanna's clinic for shoulder, knee and general orthopaedic care.
Athwa is one of Surat's older, settled residential neighbourhoods — the bungalows and societies around Athwalines and Athwa Gate have housed the same families for generations, which means an orthopaedic practice here sees a wider age spread than the newer parts of the city: shoulder stiffness and rotator cuff wear in patients in their 50s and 60s, alongside the same sports and overuse injuries seen everywhere else. Its proximity to Ghod Dod Road has long made it a natural catchment for clinics along that stretch.
Dr. Aman Khanna's clinic sits directly on Ghod Dod Road, close enough to Athwa that most patients arrive without needing to plan around traffic. His caseload includes a significant amount of shoulder arthroscopy — for rotator cuff tears, frozen shoulder and instability — alongside knee arthroscopy and joint-preserving surgery for early arthritis, which becomes more relevant as Athwa's longer-settled population ages.

Questions from Athwa patients
I have shoulder stiffness that's been getting worse for months — is this frozen shoulder?
Gradual stiffness with pain, especially at night, is a common presentation of frozen shoulder, but rotator cuff tears and arthritis can look similar early on. An examination and, if needed, imaging will tell them apart — each is treated differently.
Do you see older patients for knee arthritis, or only sports injuries?
Both. Joint-preserving osteotomy and general knee arthroscopy are offered for early-to-moderate arthritis, alongside the sports-injury side of the practice.
How close is the clinic to Athwa Gate?
It's on Ghod Dod Road itself, a short distance from Athwa Gate and Athwalines — one of the most convenient localities on this list for reaching the clinic.
Do you treat rotator cuff tears without surgery first?
Yes — depending on the size and age of the tear, physiotherapy and injections are often tried first, with arthroscopic repair reserved for tears that don't settle or are large enough to need it.
