I joined Vydehi institute of oncology in 2015 after completing my masters in surgery as there was a shortage of oncologists in western Uttar Pradesh where I belong and I must tell you that my experience was impeccable. I operated 200 cases covering almost every surgical oncology procedure and assisted many more. I am a sole surgical oncologist in my area and I feel confident to operate anything from head to toe.
At Vydehi there a temperament of doing research work and I published 2 original articles in Pubmed indexed journals, one case series and four case reports. There is so much to learn at Vydehi and I am grateful to Dr Ganesh and the surgical oncology team for giving me the opportunity.
The whole oncology wing at Vydehi works happily under the fatherly figure of Dr Ganesh not only to become good oncologists but also good doctors and a human beings.

I am very pleased to write about the institute which made me the surgeon I am today. I had a wonderful experience of three years working as a surgical oncology postgraduate at Vydehi medical college. It gave me exposure to all the cancer cases from head to toe and helped me in gaining knowledge to deal with all cancer cases. My training as a surgical oncologist helped me to improve my surgical skills and also improved the way I dealt with patients as a clinician.
I am happy that I got to operate most of the cancer cases and also observe very complex procedures during my training period that gave me confidence in handling cases independently today and deal with any kind of complications.I thoroughly enjoyed the guidance of my teachers from all the three allied branches of oncology . Faculty are easily approachable anytime to guide us in our clinical work and helped in doing research activities.
The interaction and friendly relation of all the three oncology departments is very good thing I have experienced. I would thank All my teachers and colleagues for giving me such a wonderful experience during my learning period at Vydehi Institute

Vydehi was my undergraduate and postgraduate institute as well. We were batch of 5 and each of us got attention in training according to our strengths and weakness not only in subject but also in many other aspects which a postgraduate needs. Professors and staff is the plus point along with the latest equipment. Load of patients is very good, as it is a comprehensive center we got to interact with faculty and postgraduates of other branches like surgical oncology and medical oncology.
