About

Every patient taught us something. Every Community Needed Something More.

Every great institution begins with a purpose.

For Dr. Vrajesh Shah and Dr. Sangeeta Shah, that purpose was never to build a chain of hospitals. It was to create a place where every patient would receive the quality of care they would want for their own family: ethical, compassionate and affordable.

The journey began in March 1992, when Dr. Vrajesh Shah, a dedicated orthopaedic surgeon, established Surgeon Fracture Care Hospital. His mission was simple: to provide honest medical care with clinical excellence and compassion.

As the practice grew, one lesson became increasingly clear: effective treatment begins with accurate diagnosis. To strengthen that foundation, Dr. Sangeeta Shah established Dr. Sangeeta Diagnostic Centre in December 1996, ensuring that patients had access to reliable diagnostics alongside quality medical care.

Over the years, thousands of patients walked through their doors.

Every consultation told a story.
Every recovery strengthened a relationship.
Every challenge revealed another healthcare need waiting to be addressed.

One reality stood out above all.

Across the northern suburbs of Mumbai, middle-class and lower-middle-class families wanted the reassurance of a private hospital, but the rising cost of healthcare often placed quality treatment beyond their reach. Families were forced to choose between affordability and excellence, a choice that healthcare should never demand.

Dr. Vrajesh Shah and Dr. Sangeeta Shah believed there had to be a better way.

That belief became APEX Hospitals.

On 6th February 2007, the first APEX Hospital opened in Borivali West with a clear vision: to provide advanced medical care, modern infrastructure, experienced specialists and ethical treatment at a price families could afford.

The response was overwhelming.

Patients didn’t just come for treatment. They came back with trust.

That trust brought with it a greater responsibility.

As more families sought the APEX way of care, it became evident that one hospital alone could not serve every community.

To extend the same commitment to another growing region of Mumbai, APEX Hospital Mulund was inaugurated on 27th March 2009. It wasn’t simply the opening of a new hospital. It was the continuation of a promise that every community deserves access to quality healthcare close to home.

As Mumbai continued to grow, so did the expectations of the communities APEX served.

Families in Borivali East needed comprehensive healthcare without travelling across the city. In response, APEX Multispeciality Hospital was inaugurated on 26th January 2018, bringing together expert consultants across multiple specialties, advanced diagnostics, surgical services, emergency care and critical care under one roof. It became a destination where an entire family’s healthcare needs could be met with convenience, continuity and confidence.

Soon after, another need became increasingly apparent.

Patients requiring highly specialised treatments and complex surgeries often had to travel to distant tertiary-care centres, adding stress to already difficult medical journeys.

To bring advanced healthcare closer to the communities it served, APEX Super Speciality Hospital was established on 6th June 2018. Equipped with state-of-the-art operation theatres, advanced critical care units and specialised medical expertise, it was created to deliver complex surgeries and super-speciality care with the same compassion and affordability that had always defined APEX.

The journey continued on 17th May 2022 with the opening of APEX Hospital Kandivali.

As Kandivali rapidly evolved into one of Mumbai’s fastest-growing neighbourhoods, the community needed a modern hospital capable of providing advanced emergency care, sophisticated intensive care units, trauma services and cutting-edge medical technology, all within easy reach.

Once again, APEX responded to the needs of the community.

Today, APEX Hospital Kandivali stands as a symbol of that commitment, combining state-of-the-art infrastructure with the same patient-first philosophy that has guided the organisation since 1992.

Looking back, every chapter of the APEX journey shares a common thread.

Every patient taught us something.
Every community needed something more.
And every new APEX hospital became our answer.

Today, APEX Hospitals is more than a healthcare network. It is a trusted partner in the lives of thousands of families across Mumbai, a legacy built not by the number of hospitals we have opened, but by the number of lives we have touched.

The journey continues with the same purpose that started it all: to make quality healthcare more accessible, more compassionate and more human for every patient, every family and every community we serve.
