Meet your surgeon
Experience is most useful when it makes the decision clearer.
Dr. Suraj Panjwani is a board-certified, fellowship-trained surgeon with a practice focused on minimally invasive, robotic, bariatric, foregut, endoscopic, and general surgery.
His background includes service as chief surgical resident at a Yale-affiliated program followed by advanced fellowship training in bariatric and minimally invasive surgery. He uses that training to connect technical planning with the questions that matter most to patients: what the condition is, how quickly it needs attention, what treatment may involve, and how long recovery is likely to affect daily life.
Training & credentials
A foundation for thoughtful surgical judgment.
- Chief surgical residency at a Yale-affiliated program
- Advanced fellowship training in bariatric and minimally invasive surgery
- Board certification
- Robotic, laparoscopic, endoscopic, and open surgical experience
- Ongoing use of contemporary minimally invasive platforms, including da Vinci 5
Clinical focus
Care organized around the problem, not a procedure menu.
Hernia care
Patient-specific planning for common abdominal-wall and groin hernias.
Bariatric care
Primary bariatric evaluation and long-term surgical weight-management support.
Robotic & minimally invasive care
Approach selection based on anatomy, diagnosis, prior care, and the work the operation must accomplish.
How decisions are made
Technology supports the plan. Judgment leads it.
Dr. Panjwani’s consultation focuses on translating a surgical problem into a clear plan. The diagnosis, symptoms, imaging, prior procedures, medical health, and patient goals are reviewed together before an approach is recommended.
Technology is used when it adds meaningful capability. The choice among robotic, laparoscopic, endoscopic, office-based, and open techniques remains a surgeon-led decision rather than a device-first promise.
Prepare for your visit
Bring the information that helps answer your question.
A complete first visit can reduce repeated steps and reveal what still needs evaluation.
- Bring relevant imaging and test reports.
- Bring previous operation, endoscopy, and pathology records when applicable.
- List medicines, supplements, allergies, and past anesthesia concerns.
- Share work, caregiving, travel, and activity needs that may affect recovery planning.
