It started with a crucial observation in hospital wards across South India: Countless individuals living with diabetes were losing toes, feet, and entire legs to complications that could have been prevented with timely, specialized podiatric care.
General medicine treats diabetes; general surgery handles complications. But the human foot , a complex architectural structure of 26 bones, 33 joints, and over 100 muscles demands a dedicated specialist.
Founded with a deep commitment to Amputation Prevention, CDFC Hospital (Chennai Diabetic Foot Care Centre) was established to bridge this critical gap. Starting as a focused foot clinic in Kilpauk, Chennai, CDFC brought world-class podiatric practices directly to patients who were often told that amputation was their only option.
Under the leadership of Dr. PremKumar .E and Dr. Aravind .P, CDFC evolved from a clinic into a full-scale sub-specialty hospital ecosystem. Today, CDFC houses proprietary diagnostic labs, custom orthotic crafting, specialized varicose vein laser suites, and dedicated wound-care units—expanding its footprint to Trivandrum, Kerala, and serving patients from across India and abroad.
