Gynaecological Oncology Across Gujarat
While Ahmedabad is the primary base for Dr. Nishtha Tripathi Patel’s practice, patients from across Gujarat — including Surat, Vadodara, Gandhinagar, Rajkot, and Bhavnagar — regularly seek specialist gynaecological oncology consultations in Ahmedabad. This article explains how patients in these cities can access subspecialist cancer care efficiently.
Surat
Surat is Gujarat’s second-largest city. Women from Surat and South Gujarat usually come to Ahmedabad when a scan or biopsy suggests cancer of the ovary, womb or cervix, when an operation is being planned, or for a second opinion. Ahmedabad is roughly 265 km from Surat; most families come by train (Vande Bharat and Shatabdi trains run on this route) or by road on NH48, and the journey takes a few hours. Check current timings, send your reports on WhatsApp before you travel, and keep the day flexible in case a scan or blood test is advised. Dr. Nishtha occasionally holds consultation camps in Surat; contact the team for dates. For more detail, see travelling from Surat to Ahmedabad.
Vadodara
Vadodara (Baroda) has strong general gynaecology services, and many women with a suspected or confirmed gynaecological cancer are referred to Ahmedabad for surgery and specialist treatment. Ahmedabad is about 110 km away, roughly two hours on the Ahmedabad–Vadodara Expressway depending on traffic, and there are frequent trains and GSRTC buses. Many women come for a morning consultation and return the same day, and your Vadodara gynaecologist can usually stay involved in your care. Bring all existing reports — ultrasound, CT/MRI, biopsy and blood tests — to make the first consultation as useful as possible. Dr. Nishtha occasionally holds consultation camps in Vadodara; contact the team for dates. For more detail, see travelling from Vadodara to Ahmedabad.
Gandhinagar
As the administrative capital of Gujarat and a growing residential hub adjacent to Ahmedabad, Gandhinagar residents have the easiest access to Ahmedabad-based specialists. The distance is under 30 km, and many patients schedule consultations during regular working hours without significant travel disruption. Dr. Nishtha also occasionally holds consultation camps in Gandhinagar; contact the team for dates. See care for patients from Gandhinagar.
How to Arrange a Consultation
Patients from any city in Gujarat can contact Dr. Nishtha Tripathi Patel’s practice directly — no GP referral is required, although a short note from your own doctor helps. The right next step depends on where you are:
- You have symptoms but no tests yet — a gynaecologist near you can assess most causes first and arrange an ultrasound or other tests.
- A scan, Pap/HPV test or blood test is abnormal — send the report on WhatsApp so the team can help plan the visit and tell you which originals to bring.
- Cancer has been confirmed on a biopsy — book a consultation in Ahmedabad before any operation is planned.
- You already have a treatment plan — you can request a second opinion on your reports.
Sending photos or scans of your reports on WhatsApp (+91 76988 00333) is a way to share information and plan the visit; it is not a substitute for a consultation. A full opinion usually still needs an in-person consultation and examination in Ahmedabad. Bring previous investigation reports, imaging CDs and biopsy slides or blocks; this checklist of what to bring to your appointment can help. When you arrange an appointment, mention the city you are travelling from so that tests and the consultation can be grouped into as few visits as possible.
