About Dr. Har Prakash Garg
Dr. Har Prakash Garg is one of Delhi's most experienced general and laparoscopic surgeons, with over four decades of practice behind him. He serves as a Senior Consultant in General Surgery at Indraprastha Apollo Hospital — one of India's most respected healthcare institutions. His areas of focus span hernia repair, gallbladder surgery, bariatric procedures, and a wide range of soft tissue surgeries. Patients and colleagues alike know him for the careful, unhurried attention he brings to every case.
What sets Dr. Garg apart is his place in history as one of the very first surgeons to introduce minimally invasive (laparoscopic) surgery in Delhi, back in 1991–92. At a time when open surgery was the norm, he helped chart a new course for patients in the capital — one with smaller incisions, less pain, and faster recovery. He has since built on that foundation with advanced fellowships in laparoscopic surgery (FALS) and gastrointestinal endoscopic surgery (FIAGES), keeping his skills firmly at the leading edge.
Patients value Dr. Garg's straightforward, reassuring manner. He takes time to explain a diagnosis and the reasoning behind a surgical plan, in plain language — whether that is in English or Hindi. For international patients especially, that clarity makes a real difference when navigating treatment far from home. His philosophy has always been that a well-informed patient heals better.
For families traveling from abroad to seek surgical care in India, Dr. Garg's combination of pioneering experience, a globally recognized hospital, and a genuinely patient-first approach makes him a trusted choice. Gaf Healthcare is proud to coordinate consultations and care pathways with his team at Apollo Hospital, Delhi.
