A Two-Continent Surgical Education
Dr. Modi's training combines two complementary worlds: the Indian public-hospital system — where extraordinary patient volumes build surgical judgement, speed and adaptability — and international fellowship training, which adds standardised technique, audit culture and exposure to global best practice. Patients benefit from both: the confidence that comes from having managed thousands of cases, and the discipline of internationally benchmarked standards.
FRCS — Royal College of Surgeons, Glasgow
The FRCS is earned, not attended. It requires passing rigorous written and clinical examinations conducted to the standards of the UK Royal Colleges — assessing not just knowledge but clinical reasoning, communication and professional judgement. For patients, it signals that the surgeon's competence has been independently examined at an international level.
ICO Fellowship — International Council of Ophthalmology
The International Council of Ophthalmology fellowship credential represents advanced subspecialty training in refractive surgery and vitreo-retinal disease at an international standard. Combined with the FRCS, it places Dr. Modi's credentials among the strongest held by ophthalmologists practising in Mumbai's western suburbs.
Retina & Uvea Training — L.V. Prasad Eye Institute
Dr. Modi's advanced retina and uvea training is associated with the L.V. Prasad Eye Institute — an institution synonymous with excellence in Indian ophthalmology. Uveitis care in particular is a subspecialty rarely available in suburban Mumbai clinics, and this training underpins the uvea service at Sentra Clinic.
Retina Training Exposure — USA
Retina training exposure associated with Associated Retina Consultants, USA, added familiarity with American practice patterns in medical and surgical retina — including protocols for anti-VEGF therapy, imaging-guided decision-making and vitreo-retinal surgical technique.
Continuing Surgical Practice — JJ Group of Hospitals
Training does not end with fellowships. As Visiting Surgeon at JJ Group of Hospitals & Grant Medical College, Dr. Modi continues to manage complex posterior-segment cases in a teaching-hospital environment and to train postgraduate ophthalmology students — a role that keeps clinical judgement accountable and current.
