Leadership Profile

Dr. Bharat R. Dave is the visionary behind Stavya, credited with pioneering dedicated spine surgery in Gujarat at a time when the field was often overlooked. From a 313 sq. ft. clinic in 1997 to a 100-bed NABH-accredited super-specialty hospital, his journey reflects relentless dedication, clinical excellence, and a commitment to ethical care. With an M.S. in Orthopaedics from Gujarat University and M.Ch. Ortho from the University of Liverpool (UK), he has shaped Stavya into one of India’s foremost centres for spine care, equipped with advanced tools like robotic navigation, O-arm imaging, and Class 100 modular OTs. Widely regarded as one of India’s leading spine surgeons, Dr. Dave has performed thousands of complex procedures and continues to mentor the next generation of surgeons through global platforms such as AOSpine. Known for his diagnostic clarity and patient-first philosophy, he believes surgery is a last resort “a patient should earn the surgery.” His vision remains clear:

“to deliver safe, ethical, and affordable spine care to every patient, grounded in compassion and advanced technology.”
