Peahen Gandhi, MD, FACOG, FPMRS

Dr. Gandhi believes a good doctor should be listening a lot and get the whole story and not just one simple issue. A urogynecological and female reconstructive surgeon, Dr. Peahen Gandhi is double board-certified in the subspecialty Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery and in Obstetrics and Gynecology.

Dr. Gandhi talks about her expertise and the type of patients she treats.

“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.”

– Dr. Peahen Gandhi
