About Dr. Nitish Jhawar

Dr. Nitish Jhawar is a seasoned consultant surgeon based at Apollo Hospitals, Navi Mumbai, with more than 24 years of experience in general, laparoscopic, and robotic surgery. He has built a reputation as a trusted name for patients dealing with hernia, gallbladder disease, colorectal conditions, bariatric concerns, and a wide range of abdominal disorders. His training spans some of the most respected institutions in India and the UK, and he brings that depth of knowledge into every operating room.

Dr. Jhawar completed his MS in General Surgery at the prestigious Grant Medical College and Sir JJ Group of Hospitals in Mumbai, and went on to earn the MRCS from the Royal College of Surgeons, Edinburgh — a qualification that reflects a rigorous international standard of surgical competence. He further strengthened his skills with fellowships in Minimal Access Surgery, Gastrointestinal Endosurgery, and Robotic Surgery, making him one of the few surgeons in the region who is equally at home with traditional, laparoscopic, and robot-assisted techniques.

Patients and families often describe Dr. Jhawar as someone who takes the time to explain things clearly. He approaches each case with a calm, methodical mindset and a genuine interest in getting the patient back to normal life as quickly as possible. Whether it is a routine laparoscopic cholecystectomy or a complex abdominal wall reconstruction, he tailors the surgical plan to the individual rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach.

For international patients travelling to India for surgery, Dr. Jhawar offers a compelling combination of world-class training, advanced technology, and the warmth of personalised care. Apollo Hospitals, Navi Mumbai is a well-equipped facility that supports smooth care coordination for patients coming from abroad. Gaf Healthcare works directly with Dr. Jhawar's team to help you arrange consultations, understand your treatment plan, and navigate every step of your medical journey in India.
