About Dr. Arjun Goel
Dr. Arjun Goel is a Senior Consultant and Head of Unit II – General & Minimally Invasive Surgery at Sarvodaya Hospital, Faridabad. Over an 18-year career, he has built a practice that covers a wide range of surgical needs – from common conditions like hernias and gallstones to more complex areas including bariatric surgery, surgical oncology, and surgical gastroenterology. He is also one of a relatively small group of surgeons in India trained and certified in robotic surgery, having completed certification through CMR (Cambridge Medical Robotics) and SSI Mantra.
Dr. Goel's training journey reflects both depth and breadth. He completed his MBBS at the respected Maulana Azad Medical College in Delhi, followed by an MS in General & Minimal Access Surgery. He then went on to earn a Fellowship in Minimal Access Surgery (FNB) from the National Board of Examinations, trained under Dr. Shailesh Puntambekar – a name well known in the world of minimal access and robotic surgery. His academic work has been published in peer-reviewed journals including The Journal of Robotic Surgery, and he serves on the editorial boards of BMC Surgery (Springer) and the World Journal of Surgical Oncology.
What patients and families consistently value about Dr. Goel is his structured, unhurried approach to surgical planning. He takes the time to explain what a procedure involves, what to expect during recovery, and why a particular technique – laparoscopic, robotic, or open – is being recommended. For many patients, this clarity makes a real difference, especially when they are navigating a complex diagnosis or considering surgery for the first time.
International patients travelling to India for surgical care often choose Dr. Goel because he combines advanced technical training with genuine accessibility. His team is comfortable coordinating with patients and families from abroad, from initial consultation through to discharge and follow-up. GAF Healthcare works closely with Dr. Goel's team to make this process as smooth as possible – handling logistics so that you can focus entirely on your care and recovery.
