An Exclusive Interview with Dr. Sukhbindar Singh Sibia, the Man Who Changed the Way We Treat the Heart
INTRODUCTION
When people think of cardiac care, they think surgery. But when the world wants to avoid the knife—they turn to Dr. Sukhbindar Singh Sibia.
With a career spanning over four decades, thousands of international patients, and the invention of a revolutionary non-invasive heart treatment ecosystem in India, Dr. Sibia has become synonymous with hope for those battling coronary artery disease. At Sibia Medical Centre, Ludhiana, he leads a team offering alternatives to bypass surgery and angioplasty using groundbreaking, evidence-based therapies like Chelation Therapy, EECP, and ESMR—treatments now referenced in medical books and journals.
We caught up with the physician, the pioneer, and most importantly, the passionate healer behind the movement.

Q1. Dr. Sibia, you’re often called the “Father of Non-Invasive Cardiac Care in India.” How did your journey begin?
Dr. Sibia:
That title humbles me. My journey began not in ambition, but in empathy. As a young doctor, I watched patients overwhelmed by the thought of open-heart surgery. I still remember when Dr. Rakesh Gupta told me his mother had heart disease and couldn’t tolerate bypass surgery. Around the same time, a relative of ours suffered chest pain just weeks after getting a heart stent—and he couldn’t afford further treatment.
These experiences stirred something deep within me. I knew we had to find a better way to heal—safely, effectively, and affordably. That desire birthed our obsession at Sibia Medical Centre to create an alternate path. And that’s how we got here.
Q2. Today, patients travel from across the globe for your expertise. What makes your approach so different?
Dr. Sibia:
We don’t just treat the heart—we listen to it.
At Sibia Medical Centre, we use therapies like:
•EECP (Enhanced External Counter Pulsation) – boosts blood flow naturally
•Chelation Therapy – removes artery-hardening toxins
•ESMR (Extracorporeal Shockwave Myocardial Revascularisation) – encourages new blood vessel growth using sound waves
•Ozone Therapy – an effective detox and healing agent
No knives. No stents. No ICU stays.
Patients walk in with fear—and walk out with freedom. That’s our promise.
Q3. You’re not just treating patients—you’re inspiring people. What drives your commitment after all these years?
Dr. Sibia:
Gratitude. Every time a patient says, “You gave me my life back,” I’m reminded why I started. When patients from USA, Canada, Australia, Dubai choose Ludhiana for their care—it tells me we’re doing something right.
For me, this isn’t a profession—it’s a mission. I want to show the world that healing is possible without pain. That life can go on—without surgery.
Q4. Many of your patients speak of your gentle and caring nature. How do you maintain that in today’s fast-paced world?
Dr. Sibia:
Medicine without compassion is incomplete. I never rush consultations. I listen—truly listen—to every patient. Their fears, their stories, their hopes. Sometimes they cry. Sometimes they just need someone to understand.
At our centre, patients are not just cases—they are humans. We touch their hearts before we treat them. That is what makes healing profound.
Our dream is that no patient, no matter how financially constrained, should feel that surgery is their only hope. We’re here to change the map of heart care—not just in India, but globally.
His voice is not loud—but it is heard all over the world by the hearts he’s healed.
I want to be remembered as someone who proved that healing doesn’t always need cutting, that the best medicine begins with love, and that every heart, no matter how damaged deserves a chance to beat again in peace.
Q5. For someone just diagnosed with a heart blockage and scared of surgery, what would you say to them?
Dr. Sibia:
Take a deep breath. You have options.
Surgery is not the only path. At Sibia Medical Centre, we focus on improving circulation, clearing toxins, and strengthening heart function—with zero cuts, zero scars, and zero hospital stays.
Before you commit to a lifetime of medication or risky procedures—talk to us. You deserve to know all your options.
Q6. You’ve received numerous awards and global recognition. Which one has meant the most to you?
Dr. Sibia:
A few moments stay with me forever.
•When our work was acknowledged by Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, the People’s President of India, and featured on the President of India’s official website, it wasn’t just an award—it was a blessing.
•Standing in the British Parliament, representing India and advocating for ethical, sustainable heart care was surreal. To realize our quiet work in Ludhiana had echoed globally—it filled me with awe and humility.
But beyond all awards, the true honor is when a patient hears: “You don’t need surgery.” That joy, that hope—is my real reward.

STRUGGLES AND OBSTACLES
