Dr. Chinnu Sasikumar

Dr. Chinnu Sasikumar is a pulmonologist with over 8 years of clinical experience treating a wide range of respiratory conditions. She trained at TNMC BYL Hospital, a major teaching hospital in Mumbai, where she gained extensive expertise in lung infections, interstitial lung diseases (scarring of lung tissue), lung cancer, and drug-resistant tuberculosis. She subsequently worked as a consultant at a tertiary care hospital in Trivandrum, Kerala, for 5 years, and completed a fellowship in Interventional Pulmonology at Yashoda Hospital in Hyderabad.

Dr. Sasikumar specializes in advanced bronchoscopic procedures — including rigid bronchoscopy, keyhole lung examination (EBUS), and thoracoscopy — as well as pleural biopsy and respiratory intensive care. She manages a full spectrum of lung conditions: chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, bronchiectasis, pulmonary infections, tuberculosis, lung cancer, sleep apnea, and pulmonary vascular diseases. She is actively involved in clinical research and education.

She is a good fit for patients seeking expert diagnosis and minimally invasive treatment of complex respiratory conditions, particularly those requiring advanced bronchoscopic procedures or management in an intensive care setting.
