…like Dr. Kajeandra Ravichandiran.
He is a highly-educated and highly-regraded Orthopaedic Surgeon at Ajax Pickering Hospital, who also happens to be Canada’s only Tamil-speaking orthopaedic surgeon!
If he’s your surgeon, you are in good hands because he is a cut above! He has subspecialty training in lower extremity joint arthroplasty/reconstruction (cartilage and bone repairs) and sports medicine/arthroscopy. In the past, Dr. Ravichandiran’s complicated specialty was only offered at the downtown hospitals, but now it’s available close to home!
