Medanta – The Medicity
Gurugram, India
Introduction
Dr. Deepak Sarin is the Chairman of Head & Neck Oncology at Medanta. Patients usually reach out to him when they are facing terrifying diagnoses like mouth, throat, or thyroid cancer. He handles everything from removing complex salivary gland tumors to performing advanced robotic surgeries designed specifically to save a patient’s voice and appearance.
About Dr. Deepak Sarin
Dr. Deepak Sarin has thirty years of experience in surgical oncology. He did both MBBS and MS from AIIMS, New Delhi. Won the gold medal during ENT postgraduation there. He did a clinical fellowship in head and neck ablative surgery, which means removing the cancer aggressively, and reconstructive surgery means rebuilding what was removed. This helps the patient to eat, speak, and look like themselves. Both skills sitting in the same pair of hands matters enormously in head and neck surgery.
Dr. Deepak didn’t just join departments; he actually built them. Set up head and neck surgery at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital in 2005, Artemis Health Institute in 2007, and Medanta in 2011. Three departments were built from scratch across three major hospitals in a span of six years. That takes a certain kind of drive most surgeons don’t have.

Patient Experience & Approach
Oral cancer patients say the reconstruction work meant they could eat and talk after surgery when they expected to lose both. Throat cancer patients mention TORS removed the tumor through the mouth, and they avoided the massive neck scar entirely. What families consistently mention is that the Dr. Deepak Sarin conversation before surgery covers function preservation honestly — what speech and swallowing will look like after, not just whether the cancer got removed.
