Dr. Suresh Siva MD FRCS (Tr & Orth)
Consultant Orthopaedic & Joint Replacement Surgeon

Dr Suresh completed Medical School in the United Kingdom and Specialist Surgical Training in London, UK and California, USA. He is a Senior Consultant at ALTY Orthopaedic Hospital which is the first full service Orthopaedic Specialist Hospital in Malaysia. He is Board Certified by the UK General Medical Council and is on the National Specialist Register. His drive and passion is to provide world-class clinical excellence on an individual level with a human touch.

Dr Suresh performs Enhanced Recovery Procedures and individualized treatments based on patient age and activity, offering Minimal Invasive Surgery, Arthroscopic “key hole” surgery and joint sparing procedures. His group was one of the first in the world to publish a series on Minimal Invasive Joint Replacement Surgery back in February 2003 at the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons Meeting, New Orleans, USA and he continues to perfect and improve his techniques to this day.

Modern pain management techniques allow patients to start walking the day after surgery and get back to their normal activities within weeks. Dr Suresh has performed more than 5000 procedures on the hip, knee and shoulder joints over the past 15 years. Dr Suresh is also very active in research and development to improve the quality of life of his patients. He holds US Patents in medical device technologies and tissue engineering techniques. In addition he is an author and co-author of numerous professional publications, books and book chapters. He is very involved in teaching, administration and research and is on the board of the Asia Pacific Orthopaedic Association and the Organizing Committee of SICOT 2022.
