Why Dr A K Bansal is Considered the Best Gastro Surgeon in Lucknow

Choosing a gastro surgeon is one of the most important medical decisions you will make. Surgical outcomes in gastrointestinal disease depend on three things: the surgeon's training, the volume of similar cases handled, and the judgment to know when to operate, when to wait, and when to refer. Dr A K Bansal brings all three.

Dr Bansal completed his M.Ch in Surgical Gastroenterology at Sanjay Gandhi Postgraduate Institute of Medical Sciences (SGPGI), Lucknow — securing All India Rank 1 in the entrance examination. SGPGI is widely regarded as India's premier institute for super-specialty surgical training. His MS in General Surgery and MBBS were both completed at M.P. Shah Medical College, Jamnagar (Saurashtra University).

Before founding Dr Bansal Gastro & Liver Centre in Sector 6 Gomti Nagar Extension, he served as Senior Consultant in the Department of Gastrosciences at Medanta Hospital, Lucknow — one of India's leading multi-super-specialty institutions. He currently heads the Department of GI Surgery at Myra City Hospital, Lucknow.
