Dhaara Liver Clinic in Yelahanka is North Bangalore's only dedicated liver and HPB surgery centre. Dr. Srinivas Bojanapu — Liver Transplant and HPB Surgeon — provides expert liver care without the need to travel to Central or South Bangalore.
Until Dhaara Liver Clinic opened in Yelahanka, patients in North Bangalore needing specialist liver care had one option: travel 25–40 km to Central Bangalore or South Bangalore, navigating Bangalore's traffic for appointments that sometimes lasted 15 minutes.
Dr. Srinivas Bojanapu changed that. His clinic in Yelahanka provides the same subspecialty liver and HPB surgical expertise available at large tertiary hospitals — in a dedicated clinic that is accessible, personal, and focused entirely on liver and GI surgery.
For patients requiring complex surgery, the operations are performed at associated hospitals in the North Bangalore region. For consultations, Fibroscan, follow-up, and pre/post-operative care, everything happens at Dhaara Liver Clinic, Yelahanka.
Fibroscan, FIB-4 scoring, lifestyle counselling, pharmacotherapy. 1 in 3 adults in Yelahanka has fatty liver — most don't know it. Early treatment prevents cirrhosis.

Yes. Dr. Srinivas Bojanapu is a Liver Transplant and HPB Surgeon with a dedicated clinic at Dhaara Liver Clinic in Yelahanka. He is the only full-time liver and HPB surgery specialist in North Bangalore, providing subspecialty care that was previously only available in Central or South Bangalore. Services include Fibroscan, liver disease management, GI surgery, and liver transplant.
No. Dhaara Liver Clinic in Yelahanka provides the same subspecialty expertise available at Bangalore's major tertiary hospitals. Dr. Srinivas holds an DrNB (Surgical Gastroenterology) and a Fellowship in Liver Transplant and HPB Surgery — the same qualifications as transplant surgeons at large private hospitals in Whitefield, Koramangala, or Rajajinagar. For complex surgeries, he operates at associated hospitals in North Bangalore. Consultations, Fibroscan, pre- and post-operative care happen at the Yelahanka clinic.
Fibroscan (transient elastography) is a painless 5-minute scan that measures liver stiffness (fibrosis stage F0–F4) and liver fat content (CAP score) without a biopsy or needle. It is the most important investigation for anyone with fatty liver on ultrasound, hepatitis B or C, or at risk of advanced liver fibrosis. Fibroscan is available at Dhaara Liver Clinic, Yelahanka — you do not need to go to Central Bangalore for this investigation.
Yes. Fatty liver (MASLD/NAFLD) on ultrasound requires proper staging to determine whether you have simple steatosis (low risk) or significant fibrosis (high risk requiring active treatment). A Fibroscan and FIB-4 score give much more accurate information than ultrasound alone. Normal liver enzymes (LFTs) do not rule out significant fibrosis. Dr. Srinivas at Dhaara Liver Clinic Yelahanka provides a comprehensive fatty liver assessment — FIB-4 calculation, Fibroscan, and management plan — in a single visit.
