A Lifetime Dedicated to Orthopaedic Excellence in Mauritius

A Career Built on Discipline and Responsibility

Dr. Gopal began his medical journey with a single principle in mind: serve with discipline, heal with purpose. After graduating in India and further specializing in the UK and Europe, he returned to Mauritius and served in the public health system for decades, including as Head of Orthopaedics at Victoria Hospital and Regional Director of Health Services.

This background forged a strong sense of responsibility toward both patients and the healthcare system. His work ethic is rooted in punctuality, thoroughness, and an unshakeable sense of professional duty, regardless of the complexity or urgency of the case.

“In orthopaedics, a 5-minute delay or a missed step can change the rest of someone’s life. That’s a responsibility I never take lightly.”
— Dr. Gopal

A Patient-First Approach

Dr. Gopal is known for taking the time to listen. Every patient consultation is treated as a collaboration — not just a diagnosis. He believes that understanding the patient’s story, concerns, and lifestyle is as important as reading an X-ray.

His reputation across Mauritius is built not only on successful surgeries, but also on the respect and reassurance he offers to each individual. Many of his patients are referrals from other doctors or former patients — a testament to the trust he inspires.

Continuous Learning and Global Standards

Despite his long career, Dr. Gopal has never stopped learning. He continuously updates his knowledge through international conferences and training programs, including advanced orthopedic techniques from the UK, Germany, South Africa, and Thailand.

He also holds a certification as an Independent Medical Examiner (ACIM/ABIME – USA), reflecting his commitment to transparency, ethics, and objective assessment in both clinical and legal matters.

This lifelong learning approach ensures his methods are always aligned with the latest global standards in orthopaedic surgery and trauma care — while being adapted to the needs of patients in Mauritius.

Ethics Beyond the Operating Room

Dr. Gopal’s ethical values go far beyond the technical act of surgery. He is deeply committed to:

• Fair and transparent medical advice

• Avoiding unnecessary surgical interventions

• Respecting patient confidentiality

• Ensuring informed consent for every procedure

• Mentoring young doctors with integrity

He has often declined cases where surgery would not offer real benefit, preferring conservative treatment plans when appropriate. For him, being a good doctor means doing the right thing — not just the most complex one.

Trusted by Families, Colleagues, and Institutions

Whether treating a teenager after a sports injury or an elderly patient in need of joint replacement, Dr. Gopal is consistently described as calm, honest, and trustworthy. His relationships with other medical professionals are equally strong — marked by collaboration, mutual respect, and clarity.

Clinics and hospitals value his professional reliability, making him one of the most sought-after orthopaedic consultants on the island.

A Legacy of Care and Integrity

For Dr. Gopal, medicine is not just a profession — it is a vocation and a lifelong service. His work ethic is not defined by long hours or complex surgeries alone, but by the quiet, consistent excellence he brings to every patient encounter.

As he continues his practice today — notably at Clinique Bon Pasteur (Rose Hill), Artemis Curepipe Hospital, Royal Green Hospital (Moka), Premium Care Clinic (Vacoas-Phoenix) — his guiding values remain unchanged: serve with care, operate with precision, and lead with ethics.

When choosing a surgeon, skills matter. But values matter even more.
With Dr. Dhanraz Gopal, you’ll find both — in every gesture, every consultation, and every decision.
