Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh — In a defining moment for healthcare innovation in North India, Dr Sandeep Kapoor has cemented his status as a visionary leader in orthopaedic surgery and healthcare entrepreneurship. As the Founder, Chairman, and Managing Director of Health City Vistaar Hospital, Dr Kapoor is pioneering a unique doctor-led hospital model that combines world-class clinical standards with accessibility, affordability, and community engagement.
A Revolutionary Healthcare Model Rooted in Ownership and Ethics
Dr Kapoor’s vision goes beyond surgical excellence—he champions a doctor-owned, patient-first healthcare model. Health City Vistaar, an extension of the original Health City Hospital conceived in 2016, is a multi-specialty medical campus located in Lucknow. It was created alongside like-minded surgeon-entrepreneurs Dr Sandeep Garg, Dr Kulbhushan Jain, and Dr Rajesh Arora to reimagine hospital governance and patient care delivery in India.
What sets the Health City model apart is its equity-based structure, where high-performing doctors are not only care providers but also stakeholders. This ensures clinical accountability, sustainable operations, and a culture where patient welfare always takes center stage.
Academic Distinction and Global Surgical Training
Dr Kapoor’s academic achievements are as formidable as his professional innovations. A gold medalist in both MBBS and MS (Orthopaedics) from the prestigious King George’s Medical University (KGMU), he launched his career with a deep-rooted foundation in both theoretical knowledge and hands-on surgical skill.
His early career included tenures at Holy Family Hospital in New Delhi and King Fahd Central Hospital in Saudi Arabia, exposing him to international best practices. He later trained in advanced trauma and joint replacement techniques across Germany, Australia, and Southeast Asia, becoming a thought leader in arthroplasty, fracture management, and minimally invasive surgery.
Notably, he was Uttar Pradesh’s first orthopaedic surgeon to introduce computer-navigated joint replacement surgery, setting a technological benchmark in the region.
Core Specializations and Surgical Innovation
At Health City Vistaar, Dr Kapoor leads a high-performance orthopaedic unit equipped with state-of-the-art infrastructure and a 24×7 trauma care team. His areas of expertise include:
- Joint Replacement Surgery: Total and partial replacements of knees, hips, shoulders, and elbows, including revision surgeries
- Complex Fracture Management: Advanced trauma reconstruction using the latest fixation techniques
- Minimally Invasive Orthopaedics: Robotic-assisted surgeries, gender-specific implants, and uni-compartmental knee replacements
- Geriatric & Sports Orthopaedics: Holistic care for ageing patients and active individuals
- Post-Surgical Rehabilitation: Integrated physiotherapy and patient education for functional recovery
Community-Centric Care and Preventive Outreach
Dr Kapoor is a firm believer in “medicine beyond the surgery.” His patient philosophy emphasizes ethical communication, prevention, and post-operative recovery, placing education and transparency at the forefront of clinical relationships.
He regularly organizes free bone health check-ups, orthopaedic awareness camps, and joint screening events across Uttar Pradesh, making expert care accessible to underserved populations. His dedication to preventive healthcare has earned him trust across rural and urban communities alike.
Health City Vistaar: The New Healthcare Landmark in Lucknow
In 2024, under Dr Kapoor’s stewardship, Health City Vistaar Hospital was inaugurated as a flagship healthcare destination in North India. With 300+ beds, 8 operation theatres, advanced diagnostics, critical care units, and specialty wings, the hospital has redefined comprehensive medical delivery in the region.
The hospital’s strategic location and infrastructure serve not just Lucknow but the broader Uttar Pradesh belt, with a focus on multi-disciplinary specialties, particularly orthopaedics, cardiology, neurology, oncology, and gastroenterology.
Leadership that Inspires Change
Dr Kapoor is more than just a leading surgeon—he is a healthcare visionary, mentor, and public health advocate. His approach integrates the best of corporate healthcare practices with the ethos of community ownership and ethical medicine.
He continues to mentor young orthopaedic surgeons, advise healthcare policymakers, and lead conversations around sustainable doctor-led hospital models in India. Health City Vistaar, under his leadership, stands as a blueprint for doctor-governed, patient-centric healthcare infrastructure.
