One Name, Every Tuesday: The Surgeon Tohana Didn’t Have to Travel For

For years, a spine problem meant a trip out of town — to Hisar, or further. That changed the day Dr. Sameer Nagpal began holding a weekly OPD at Jain Samadhi Hospital. Every Tuesday, the same fellowship-trained expertise available at his main Hisar clinic is now available inside Tohana, without patients needing to rearrange their week around a longer commute.

This isn’t a scaled-down version of spine care. Patients get the same thorough evaluation, the same access to Dr. Nagpal’s judgment on whether a case needs surgery or can be managed without it, and the same honest conversation about what comes next — just closer to home.

The Doctor Behind the Tuesday Clinic

Training That Rarely Reaches a Town This Size

It’s worth pausing on what it actually means for Tohana to have a weekly OPD with Dr. Sameer Nagpal. This is a surgeon who trained under the ASSI Spine Fellowship and completed the FISS Fellowship in Tokyo — a program most Indian spine surgeons never get the opportunity to attend, let alone complete. Add a gold-medal academic record and more than ten further specialisation courses, and the credentials on offer inside Jain Samadhi Hospital every Tuesday are, by any measure, uncommon outside a major metro.

Six Clinics, One Standard

Dr. Nagpal runs OPDs across six locations in Haryana, but he’s been clear that none of them are treated as a “lesser” version of the main Hisar practice. Every patient — whether in Hisar, Tohana, or any other clinic — is evaluated with the same diagnostic thoroughness and the same conservative philosophy: surgery only when it’s genuinely necessary, and never as a default recommendation. For Tohana specifically, that consistency means a resident here gets the identical clinical judgment a patient in Hisar receives, on the same Tuesday, without a referral being the first suggestion offered.

A Reputation Built on Listening First

Patients who’ve sat across from Dr. Nagpal often describe the same thing: he asks more questions than he answers, at least at first. How long has the pain lasted? Does it change with movement, or with rest? Has anything specific triggered it? Only once that picture is complete does the conversation turn to imaging, diagnosis, and options. For a community used to rushed consultations, that pace itself has built a loyal following in Tohana.

More Than 5,000 Patients, One Consistent Approach

Across his practice, Dr. Nagpal has now treated over 5,000 patients and completed 2,500+ successful spine surgeries — a volume of experience that shows up in how quickly he can distinguish routine muscular pain from something that needs urgent attention. For Tohana’s Tuesday OPD, that pattern-recognition often means catching a serious issue early, before a patient’s local self-treatment turns a manageable problem into a surgical one.
