About Dr. Seema Patni
Dr. Seema Patni is a seasoned General Surgeon with more than three decades of hands-on surgical experience. Based at Fortis Hospital, Shalimar Bagh in New Delhi, she consults across two Fortis campuses and has built a reputation for dependable, patient-centred surgical care. Her clinical practice covers a wide range of procedures — from laparoscopic surgeries and hernia repairs to thyroid operations and breast-related interventions.
Dr. Patni completed both her MBBS and her postgraduate MS in General Surgery from the University of Rajasthan, graduating in 1987 and 1990 respectively. She has spent the years since then refining her skills across the full breadth of general surgery, embracing minimally invasive laparoscopic techniques that help patients recover faster and with less discomfort.
Patients who have been treated by Dr. Patni often speak of her calm, straightforward approach. She takes time to explain what a procedure involves, what to expect during recovery, and what signs to watch for afterward. Families appreciate that she makes complex surgical decisions feel understandable — never rushed, never overwhelming.
For international patients travelling to India for surgery, Dr. Patni's long experience, institutional standing at Fortis, and familiarity with patients from varied backgrounds make her a reassuring choice. Gaf Healthcare can help you arrange your consultation, coordinate your hospital admission, and support you through every step of your treatment journey.
