Dr. Vivek Goel

Dr. Vivek Goel is a seasoned general and laparoscopic surgeon based in New Delhi, currently serving as Director of General Surgery at Fortis Hospital, Shalimar Bagh. Over a career spanning more than two decades, he has built a strong reputation for minimally invasive surgery — particularly laparoscopic procedures for gallstones, hernias, and complex gastrointestinal conditions. Patients and referring physicians alike trust him for his calm, methodical approach and his ability to handle both routine and complicated surgical cases with equal confidence.

Dr. Goel completed his MBBS and MS in General Surgery from Pt. B D Sharma Postgraduate Institute of Medical Sciences in Rohtak — one of the well-regarded government medical institutions in North India. That rigorous training laid the foundation for a career that has taken him across multiple Fortis facilities, including Fortis Ludhiana and Fortis LaFemme in Greater Kailash, as well as his own Speciality Clinic in Pitampura, Delhi. This breadth of practice means he is comfortable managing diverse patient needs across different clinical settings.

What patients often appreciate most about Dr. Goel is his straightforward communication style. He takes time to explain a diagnosis, walk through the surgical plan, and set realistic expectations — something that matters enormously when a patient is anxious or far from home. His involvement in national and international surgical associations, including ASI, IAGES, SELSI, WALS, AMASI, and IMA, reflects a genuine commitment to keeping his practice current with evolving surgical standards.

For international patients travelling to India for affordable, high-quality surgical care, Dr. Goel represents a dependable choice. Whether it is a laparoscopic cholecystectomy, a hernia repair, or a more involved bowel procedure, he and the team at Fortis Shalimar Bagh are well equipped to support patients from arrival through recovery. Gaf Healthcare works directly with his team to make the entire process — appointments, pre-operative workup, and post-operative follow-up — as smooth as possible.
