Dr. Rajendra Sonavane

Senior Consulting Colo-proctologist & Pioneer in LASER Surgery

Dr. Rajendra Sonavane is a distinguished colo-proctologist with an outstanding clinical practice spanning over three decades. He is among the leading surgeons in India to introduce and promote the use of LASER technology for the treatment of piles, fissure, fistula and other ano-rectal diseases.

After mastering advanced LASER techniques from Germany and Poland, Dr. Sonavane established Proctocare Clinic — a dedicated speciality centre focused exclusively on the treatment of ano-rectal disorders. At this clinic, his healing hands have worked with precision and compassion, helping thousands of patients regain their health, comfort and confidence.

As he often says, there is no greater satisfaction than seeing a happy and relieved patient after treatment. To reduce fear and anxiety related to surgery, he reassures his patients with a simple belief — “Fear the illness, not the treatment.”

His accurate clinical judgment, refined surgical skills and in-depth knowledge of proctology have earned him immense trust and respect among his patients. Known for his calm and gentle demeanor, he listens attentively and ensures that every patient clearly understands all available treatment options before making an informed decision.

Academically brilliant since his early years, Dr. Sonavane completed his MBBS and MS (Surgery) from Sion Hospital, a reputed Government College in Mumbai. He later joined the Bombay Port Trust, where he played a key role in establishing its Laparoscopic Surgery Department. His constant pursuit of excellence led him to become a Fellow of the International College of Surgery (F.I.C.S.), Indian Association of Gastrointestinal Endo-Surgeons (F.I.A.G.E.S.) and International College of Coloproctology (F.I.S.C.P.).

He has served as an honorary faculty member for Stapler Haemorrhoidopexy with Meril Academy and has been associated with the World Congress on Coloproctology. At a national level, he continues to contribute as a faculty member and mentor, training and guiding surgeons across India and abroad.

Beyond his medical achievements, Dr. Sonavane has a deep appreciation for music. In the quiet hours of late evenings, after a long day of dedicated service, he finds solace at his piano, often playing compositions by his favourite French pianist, Richard Clayderman.

A passionate reader and occasional short story writer, he enjoys exploring new places, meeting people and experiencing diverse cultures, cuisines and architecture around the world.
