Dr. Faraz began his journey by attaining his Masters in Orthopaedics in Chennai. Thereafter, he spent a few years honing his skills in Trauma at CMC, Vellore and SRIHER, Chennai. It is while working, that he developed a strong affinity towards Spine surgery. In concordance with his fascination and growing commitment towards the highly evolving branch, he started training in Spine Surgery. In a quest to master the most advanced Minimally Invasive Techniques in Spine Surgery, he underwent a rigorous AO Spine fellowship under Dr. Khai Lam, an authority in Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery across the globe, at London Bridge Hospital, London (UK). While training in London, Dr. Faraz saw a great lacuna in Pain Management and Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery in India. With a vision of creating a patient-friendly ecosystem in this sector, he returned to India to join hands with his colleagues and co-founded "Alleviate".
