Dr. Hande specializes in trauma, spine, and joint replacement surgeries. His commitment to continuous learning and adoption of new techniques significantly benefits his patients and the broader community.

Dr. Hande actively promotes MIROS through Continuing Medical Education (CME) programs, enhancing the knowledge and skills of orthopedic professionals in Vidarbha.
In addition to his clinical expertise, Dr. Hande is an international faculty member who has shared innovative research globally.

He also owns and directs Ojas Hospital and runs Hande Hospital, a charitable healthcare facility in Ramtek.
A decade ago, Dr. Hande developed a keen interest in pain management due to the limitations of traditional surgical approaches, which were often unsuitable for many patients due to financial or morbidity constraints. He simultaneously became intrigued by regenerative medicine, which offers potential rejuvenation and tissue regeneration, providing patients with relief from their ailments. Notably, in 2012, he performed his first BMAC (Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate) for avascular necrosis (AVN) at Hande Hospital in Ramtek—a pioneering procedure in a rural area and a testament to his passion for integrating innovative solutions into his practice.
