About Dr. Sangram Karandikar

Dr. Sangram Karandikar is a Consultant in Laparoscopic and General Surgery at Apollo Hospitals, Navi Mumbai, with over 24 years of surgical experience behind him. He is widely respected for his expertise in minimally invasive surgery — from complex hernia repairs and gallbladder procedures to anorectal and gastrointestinal conditions. Patients across Mumbai and beyond trust him for his ability to handle both routine and challenging surgical cases with equal confidence and care.

Dr. Karandikar's academic journey reflects a deep and sustained commitment to his craft. He holds an MBBS and an MS in General Surgery, along with a DNB from the National Board. He has gone further by earning multiple prestigious fellowships — FIAGES, FMAS, FALS, and FILS — each representing advanced, specialised training in minimally invasive and laparoscopic surgical techniques. His career has taken him through several institutions in India and internationally, including time spent in Egypt, Malta, and the UK, giving him a genuinely global perspective on surgical care.

What patients and families often say about Dr. Karandikar is that he makes complicated things feel manageable. He takes time to explain what a procedure involves, what recovery looks like, and what to expect at every step. That clarity and warmth — especially at a moment when many patients are anxious — is something that comes through consistently. He is also actively involved in surgical education, regularly mentoring younger surgeons and contributing to academic discussions in his field.

For international patients considering treatment in India, Dr. Karandikar offers the reassurance of world-class surgical training combined with genuine patient-centred care, all within the established infrastructure of Apollo Hospitals. Whether you are travelling from the Gulf, Africa, or elsewhere, GAF Healthcare can help coordinate your consultation and treatment with Dr. Karandikar smoothly and efficiently.
