“I came from Canada to seek oral cancer treatment for my father. On our first visit Dr. Pradeep spent nearly an hour and a half explaining every detail — patient, punctual and crystal clear. My father is now 100% recovered. I highly recommend him for the best oral cancer care.”

“Dr. Pradeep is not only a great doctor but a good human being. He replied to all my WhatsApp messages and even came in within 20 minutes at 3 a.m. for an emergency, and again on a Sunday. In one word, he gave me a rebirth and brought happiness back to my family.”
Suman DasOral & maxillofacial surgery“Dr. Pradeep operated on our family member six months ago and he has recovered completely. He was professional, reassuring and compassionate, explained the condition and surgery clearly, and the post-operative care and follow-up were equally reassuring.”
SikkandarOral & maxillofacial surgery“Dr. Pradeep provided outstanding care throughout my surgery and treatment.

I am deeply grateful for his expertise and compassionate support before and after the procedure.”

Mouth Cancer Surgeons brings together two oral & maxillofacial surgeons — Dr. Pradeep S. and Dr. Kalpa Pandya — who have additionally trained in head & neck surgical oncology. Together we cover the complete oral cancer journey: early detection and biopsy, precise ablative surgery, reconstruction, dental rehabilitation, and long-term follow-up. We consult and operate at leading Chennai hospitals, so you are cared for by the same two surgeons from diagnosis through recovery.
We trained in the same discipline and chose to practise as a two-surgeon team so that no part of a patient’s oral cancer care is handed off to a stranger. One of us is almost always available across our hospitals, and complex reconstructions are planned and performed together. Two specialists, one continuous plan of care.
We are oral & maxillofacial specialists with super-specialty fellowships in head & neck surgical oncology — a rarer, more focused combination than ENT or general surgical oncology for oral-cavity disease. As a pair we own the full pipeline, from the first screening to long-term surveillance, across multiple Chennai hospitals.
We consult and operate at Apollo Main Hospital, Greams Road.

Early assessment saves lives. Request a consultation and choose your preferred hospital — your message reaches our team on WhatsApp, usually answered the same day.
