What Happens at Your Consultation

A Consultation That
Actually Answers Things.

Most patients arrive with a diagnosis they don't fully understand, or no diagnosis at all. The SALI clinic in Gulbarga is designed to change that — in a single visit.

🩺
Full History & Review of Your Records
Prof. Dr. Tom Cherian reviews all prior investigations — scans, blood results, discharge summaries — and takes a detailed history of your symptoms and timeline.
🔬
Clinical Examination & Assessment
A thorough physical examination specific to liver disease — assessing signs that general physicians often miss, and establishing the current state of your liver health.
📋
A Clear Diagnosis & Personalised Plan
You leave with a clear understanding of what is happening — and a specific, written plan. Whether that means further investigations, medication, or surgery, you'll know exactly what and why.
What You Leave With

More Than a Prescription.

Every SALI consultation is built around one principle: you should leave knowing more than you arrived. Not just a diagnosis — but a path forward you understand and trust.

Conditions We See

If It's Liver-Related,
We Treat It.

The Gulbarga clinic covers the full spectrum of liver disease — from early diagnosis to surgical referral.

🫁
Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD / NASH)
The most common liver condition in India — often silent and underdiagnosed. Early management prevents progression to cirrhosis.
🔴
Liver Cirrhosis
Advanced scarring of the liver. With expert management, progression can be halted — and transplant may be avoidable.
💛
Jaundice & Hepatitis
Accurate diagnosis separates benign jaundice from serious liver and bile duct conditions requiring specialist intervention.
🎗️
Liver Cancer
Early detection dramatically improves outcomes. SALi is globally recognised for liver, gallbladder, and pancreatic cancer surgery.
💧
Ascites (Fluid in Abdomen)
A complication of advanced liver disease requiring specialist management to prevent infection and further deterioration.
🔍
Second Opinion & Transplant Evaluation
If you've received a serious diagnosis elsewhere, a specialist second opinion can confirm, refine, or change the direction of your care.
LICAP Programme
Liver Cirrhosis Arrest Programme

SALi's proprietary LICAP programme is designed for patients with confirmed liver cirrhosis who want to avoid a transplant. A structured protocol of monitoring, medication optimisation, and lifestyle intervention — giving cirrhosis patients a genuine alternative.

Why South Asian Liver Institute

Not a General Hospital.
A Liver Hospital.

01

India's Only Private Liver-Dedicated Hospital

Unlike multi-specialty hospitals where liver is one of dozens of departments, SALi exists for one purpose — liver disease. Every resource, every specialist, every protocol is liver-specific.

02

London-Trained Surgeon, India-Accessible Costs

Prof. Dr. Tom Cherian trained at King's College Hospital, London — the world's top liver institute. His expertise is now available at costs that Indian families can access.

03

No Unnecessary Tests or Referrals

SALi operates on a strict principle of ethical care. You will not be sent for investigations you don't need, and you will always understand why a test is being recommended.

04

Outreach Model Means You Come to Us — Not Hyderabad

The Gulbarga clinic brings specialist expertise to your city. Only if surgery or complex investigation is required will you need to travel to the main hospital.

Prof. Dr. Tom Cherian

Founder & Managing Director, South Asian Liver Institute
Professor of GI Surgery, NIMS Hyderabad

Prof. Dr. Tom Cherian is one of India's foremost liver surgeons — with a career built at the world's top transplant centres. After Higher Specialist Training at Birmingham (then Europe's second-largest liver transplant unit), he spent five years as a senior surgeon at King's College Hospital, London — the world's premier liver institute — before returning to India with a mission.

That mission: to make liver care in India indistinguishable from what is available in London. He founded SALI as India's only private liver-dedicated hospital, and built a network of outreach clinics so that patients across the country — including in Gulbarga — can access specialist expertise without having to travel far.

Patient Voices

People Who Came Looking
for Answers. And Found Them.

★★★★★

"Really grateful to the South Asian Liver Institute team and Prof. Dr. Tom Cherian for helping me with my condition. They took their time to understand the condition in detail asking for imaging and other tests before determining treatment options. Also presented risks of each option very well. I underwent the necessary procedure and am recovering now — already feeling much healthier. The staff is also very professional yet friendly which really helped when I was stressed. Would definitely recommend the institute for liver and related conditions."

Kartik Malladi
★★★★★

"I recently visited South Asian Liver Hospital due to a liver issue. Before coming here, I had been to many hospitals and consulted several doctors, but I never received a proper explanation or solution. When I met Dr. Tom sir and Dr. Arun sir, they clearly explained what exactly my issue was and helped build my confidence. I'm feeling much better now."

Raghu Kumar
★★★★★

"My father has Hepatitis B and for the past 3 months we were taking medicine but the results didn't show up. We chose South Asian Liver Institute for treatment and the staff here cares for you very well. Every staff member will take good care of you. Doctor Tom Cherian sir is very polite and gentle — we need more such doctors in our society. We got great treatment here and I highly recommend this hospital if you're suffering from any liver related disease."
