Dr. S Suresh Sagadevan — Clinical Lead and Consultant in Chennai

Dr. S Suresh Sagadevan is Clinical Lead and Consultant at Gleneagles HealthCity Chennai, with more than 10 years of experience. His profile records pulmonology together with interventional pulmonology, sleep medicine and pre- and post-transplant care for lung transplantation.

His list follows those four headings. The interventional work is bronchoscopy, endobronchial ultrasound, transbronchial needle aspiration and airway stenting. The medical work covers severe asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, interstitial lung disease, bronchiectasis, pulmonary hypertension and complex pulmonary infection. The sleep work covers obstructive sleep apnea and CPAP titration, and lung transplantation sits at the end of the range.

He holds MBBS and an MD in respiratory medicine, in which he was university topper. Two international fellowships follow: the FCCP of the American College of Chest Physicians and the FAPSR of the Asian Pacific Society of Respirology. He also holds a GCP-NIDA Clinical Trials Network certificate, a research qualification rather than a clinical one, which sits apart from the rest of his record.

His award record includes first prize in the thoracoscopy quiz at RESPICON India 2018 in New Delhi, and two recent listings: Outlook Best Doctors South 2023 as best pulmonologist, and Best Eminent Doctors South 2024 in the same category.

Pre- and post-transplant care being named on his profile alongside interventional pulmonology means his involvement in transplantation covers the assessment and follow-up around the operation rather than the surgery itself. He practises at Gleneagles Global Health City in Chennai.
