Dr. Yogesh Gautam — Associate Director in Delhi NCR

Dr. Yogesh Gautam is an Associate Director at Max Smart Super Speciality Hospital in Saket, Delhi NCR, with more than 18 years of experience. He is listed in bariatric and metabolic surgery and in general surgery.

His procedure list covers the full ladder of obesity treatment rather than a single operation. The gastric balloon and endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty are done through the mouth with no incision. Gastric banding is the adjustable, reversible operation, and band removal is listed alongside it. Sleeve gastrectomy, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and mini gastric bypass are the standard surgical options, with gastric sleeve revision surgery for patients whose first sleeve did not hold. Metabolic surgery for type 2 diabetes completes the list. Having the revision and removal procedures on the same list as the primary ones matters, because those are the cases other surgeons are least willing to take on.

He read MBBS at University College of Medical Sciences and took MS in surgery, both under the University of Delhi, followed by DNB in general surgery. He is a Fellow of the Indian Association of Gastrointestinal Endo Surgeons, and in 2013 he added an MBA in health care administration from the Faculty of Management Studies at the University of Delhi.

His hospital record covers much of private surgery in the capital: Max Smart Super Speciality Hospital in Saket, Fortis Hospital, Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals at Sarita Vihar, Apollo Spectra Hospitals at Kailash Colony, the Apollo Institute of Bariatric & Metabolic Surgery, Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, Batra Hospital and Kolmet Hospital.
