For over 25 years, Sukh Shanti Super Speciality Hospital has been the most trusted name in orthopaedic and multispeciality care in Gokak and the entire Belagavi District.
In 1999, Dr. Ramesh Patagundi returned to Gokak with a singular mission — to bring world-class orthopaedic care to the people of North Karnataka, without making them travel hundreds of kilometres to Bengaluru or Pune.
What began as a focused orthopaedic practice grew steadily into Sukh Shanti Super Speciality Hospital — a 100-bed multispeciality institution that today serves patients from across Belagavi District, Dharwad, and the surrounding regions.
Over 25 years and more than 5,000 successful surgeries later, S4 Hospital remains rooted in the same values that guided its founding — compassionate care, clinical excellence, transparent pricing, and a deep commitment to the communities of North Karnataka.
From complex joint replacements and spine surgeries to trauma care, physiotherapy, and critical care, S4 Hospital has grown into a complete healthcare ecosystem — empanelled under Ayushman Bharat and partnered with major insurance providers to ensure no patient is turned away due to financial constraints.
