Patient Experience & Approach
Cancer patients say Dr. Sandeep Batra explains the treatment plan in a way that makes sense. Families dealing with advanced disease appreciate that he’s honest about prognosis while still laying out what treatment options exist, including clinical trials when standard protocols have run their course. His Gold Medal start and two DNB qualifications show how systematically even the most complex cases get worked up before any treatment begins.
