Every patient deserves a clear explanation, a senior surgeon at every step, and the chance to ask questions in her own language. That is how I run my practice.
Dr. Nishtha Tripathi Patel is a women's cancer specialist (gynaecological oncologist) in Ahmedabad. She has 12+ years of experience treating cancers of the ovary, uterus, cervix, vulva and vagina.
She uses robotic surgery (smaller cuts, faster recovery) wherever it is safe, and heated chemotherapy delivered in the abdomen (HIPEC) for advanced ovarian cancer that has spread.

International Certification
What ESGO Certification Means For You
ESGO is the European body that sets standards for women's cancer surgeons. To get certified, a doctor must show she has handled enough cancer cases with good outcomes — measured against European standards, not only Indian ones.
Dr. Nishtha earned this certification in 2026. Few women's cancer specialists in Gujarat hold it. For you, this means your surgeon's training has been tested against international standards — which matters most when a cancer case is complex.
