exclusive Ophthalmic Plastic Surgery and Orbital Surgery including Ocular Oncology.

During his stint in England at the Nottinghamshire region, G.S endeared himself to his patients and colleagues alike as a Senior Oculoplastic surgeon and was a visiting fellow in Neuro – Opthalmology & Adult Ocular motility at Queen’s Medical centre, Nottingham under the mentorship of Mr.Shery Thomas.

Dr. G.S pursued his MS in Ophthalmology from the prestigious Aravind Eye hospital, Madurai

(TN Dr. MGR Medical University) which he completed in 2005. ​

Dr. G.S has quite a few publications to his credit and has been an invited speaker regularly at  International,National & Local conferences related to Orbital & Oculoplastic Surgery since 2009.

Apart from academic work, G.S ‘other hobbies and interests include reading, long distance cycling, collecting and restoring fountain pens and old memorablia. Dr G Seethapathy is currently a full time consultant at Manipal Hospitals, Salem Branch.
