Dr Porwal with his wife and Co-founder of HHC, Dr Snehal Porwal
Dr Porwal believes the love for his family is his biggest motivation
The mastermind behind Healing Hands Clinic and the driving force behind its success is our Founder Surgeon, Dr. Ashwin Porwal. A visionary leader, Dr. Porwal has been instrumental in transforming the clinic from a small outpatient setup in Pune into India's leading chain of specialty proctology clinics.
A pioneer in the field of proctology, Dr. Porwal has introduced several innovative treatments for anorectal diseases. He has developed advanced laser-based techniques for treating anorectal conditions, the most notable being DLPL for Complex and Recurrent Fistula. His expertise has attracted patients from across India, while international patients suffering from complex fistulas for years have found renewed hope through his groundbreaking technique.
Dr. Porwal's vision extends beyond surgical treatment. He has actively fostered research and development, leading to the creation of patented plant-based medicines for the treatment of anorectal conditions.
'Gaining knowledge is the first step toward wisdom; sharing it is the first step toward humanity. '
Guided by this belief, Dr. Porwal has trained surgeons from across India and around the world. Many surgeons have worked alongside him, learning the intricacies of anorectal surgery, while others have been inspired by him to pursue proctology as their chosen specialty.
Beyond the persona of a skilled and successful surgeon is a man deeply committed to his family. The first impression one carries after meeting Dr. Porwal is of his humility and soft-spoken nature. Adored by his patients and admired by colleagues and teammates alike, he truly embodies the image of a compassionate and dedicated doctor.
As the doyen of Healing Hands Clinic, Dr. Porwal's unwavering devotion and zeal continue to inspire everyone who supports him in his mission of "Curing with Care."
Dr Porwal believes in treating Hemorrhoids based on grading and severity, moving seamlessly from conservative care to advanced surgical precision as the disease progresses.This led to conception of his model of gradewise approach for treating Piles. Beginning with plant-based medicines and dietary fixes for grade I, the treatment changes to Laser Hemorrhoidopexy for late stage II and stage III, and ends with Stapler Surgery (MIPH) for advanced grade IV.
The approach is supported by research and it avoids subjective differences in treatments recommended by doctors. Of course, the Proctologist handling the respective case has the final say, but the model serves as a strong guideline in cases that feel ambiguous. This makes treatment at any Healing Hands Clinic scientific and standardised, leaving little chance for error.
