Peahen Gandhi, MD

Dr. Gandhi, a native of central Ohio, moved to Atlanta in 2003 for residency training at Atlanta Medical Center and received additional specialized surgical training at St Joseph’s Hospital, also in Atlanta. She joined Cherokee Women’s in 2007, having received academic honors throughout her medical training including the Berlex Teaching Award and the Leonard Tow Humanism in Medicine Award.

On her philosophy of patient care, Dr. Gandhi says, “A good doctor should be listening a lot – get the whole story and not just one simple complaint. I like the quote by Shakti Gawain, ‘Our bodies communicate to us clearly and specifically, if we are willing to listen to them.’ I like to think that I genuinely care and listen to my patients’ needs, and that helps guide my recommendations.”

In her free time, Dr. Gandhi enjoys reading, classical Indian music and dance.

I really found my calling in OB/GYN, and I so much enjoy practicing here at Cherokee Women's Health – thank you to everyone!”
