• "Being diagnosed with breast cancer was devastating, and the fear of disfigurement was immense. Dr. Bhandari is not just a surgeon; he is an artist. He performed an oncoplastic surgery that removed the cancer completely while preserving the shape of my breast. His compassionate approach and incredible skill gave me my confidence back. I am forever grateful." - Sunita R.

We sought a second opinion from Dr. Bhandari, who performed a limb salvage surgery, replacing the bone with an implant. Today, my father can walk and is cancer-free. Dr. Bhandari's expertise gave our family a miracle." - Anand K.
