Dr. Sundeep Soman is an accomplished Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgeon with more than twelve years of specialized experience in the surgical management of diseases of the heart, lungs, and blood vessels. A graduate of the prestigious KEM Hospital, Mumbai, where he completed both his MS in General Surgery and his M.Ch. in Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery, he was trained under some of the most respected figures in Indian cardiac care. His time at KEM, one of the busiest and most competitive training grounds in the country, provided him with exposure to a vast clinical spectrum, from emergency lifesaving interventions to highly complex elective procedures.

Over the years, Dr. Soman has gone on to build a stellar career at some of India’s leading healthcare institutions, like at Rhythm Heart Institute, where he was part of a team that routinely dealt with challenging and high-risk cases. His hands-on surgical experience covers the entire breadth of adult cardiac surgery, pediatric cardiac interventions, thoracic procedures, and advanced vascular reconstructions. He is particularly recognized for his expertise in performing coronary artery bypass grafting, where his proficiency extends to both conventional on-pump techniques as well as advanced off-pump or “beating-heart” surgeries, which are especially valuable in high-risk and elderly patients. Through these approaches, he has been able to provide safer outcomes, quicker recovery, and improved long-term results for thousands of patients.

Valve surgery has been another cornerstone of his practice. Dr. Soman has performed complex repairs and replacements for mitral, aortic, and tricuspid valves, with an emphasis on valve-preserving techniques that retain the natural functionality of the patient’s heart whenever possible. He is well-versed in redo valve surgeries, operations that demand exceptional skill and precision due to the risks of prior scarring and altered anatomy. His capabilities in aortic surgery further add to his distinction; he is trained in procedures such as the Bentall operation, aortic root replacements, arch repairs, and emergency surgeries for aortic dissections and aneurysms — tasks that require meticulous teamwork and near-flawless execution.

Beyond the heart, Dr. Soman’s surgical breadth extends to thoracic and vascular domains. He has successfully conducted lung resections for tumors and infections, lobectomies, and mediastinal tumor excisions, as well as advanced thoracoscopic and minimally invasive procedures that allow patients to recover with less discomfort. In vascular surgery, he has treated patients with carotid artery disease through endarterectomy, performed complex peripheral bypasses to restore circulation in diseased limbs, and managed traumatic vascular injuries and emergencies where time-sensitive interventions save lives. His work in creating arteriovenous fistulas has also improved the quality of life for countless patients requiring long-term dialysis.

As a surgeon, Dr. Soman combines technical mastery with empathy for his patients. He views every case not only as a clinical challenge but also as a human journey, understanding that for patients and families, heart surgery represents one of the most significant and emotionally charged episodes of their lives. He is known for spending time in explaining the disease process, surgical options, risks, and recovery pathways to his patients in a clear and compassionate manner, ensuring that they are emotionally prepared and confident before undergoing procedures. His long-term approach includes post-operative follow-up, lifestyle modification guidance, and preventive strategies, which collectively improve survival rates as well as overall wellbeing.

Dr. Soman remains deeply tied to the academic and teaching side of his profession. He has mentored postgraduate trainees and young surgeons, sharing not just technical skills, but also instilling the importance of discipline, patience, and ethical practice in surgery. He regularly participates in national and international cardiothoracic conferences where he presents clinical experiences, engages with global advancements, and brings back contemporary practices into his own work. His special interest lies in minimally invasive and robotic-assisted cardiac surgery, a field that represents the forefront of modern heart surgery, and he continues to expand his expertise in these evolving technologies.

What distinguishes Dr. Soman is not only his record of success in the operating theatre but also the trust he inspires in his patients, peers, and trainees alike. His reputation has been built upon thousands of hours in surgery, countless patients regaining health and vitality, and an unwavering belief in delivering the best possible outcome for every individual who comes under his care. To his patients, he is not merely a surgeon who operates on the heart, but a healer who restores life and hope.

In every role he assumes — surgeon, teacher, mentor, and guide — Dr. Sundeep Soman continues to exemplify the highest standards in cardiothoracic and vascular surgery. His journey reflects not only years of excellence and dedication but also a vision for advancing cardiac care in India through innovation, compassion, and patient-first practice
