Company description
Sandeep Anantha, MD, FACS, FICS, FSSO, feels called to his profession as a surgical oncologist—not only for his technical skill, but for his passion in fostering long-lasting, life-changing relationships with his patients. His clinical focus is on gastrointestinal, hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgeries. He leverages robotic and minimally invasive surgery technologies as well and consults on patients with all types of cancers. With his valued expertise and insight, Dr. Anantha represents the surgical side of a patient’s cancer care, but he is closely knit with other areas of care—pathology, radiology and more. This is why when patients meet Dr. Anantha, they don’t feel like they’ve met just one doctor. They feel like they’ve met the whole team. It was in medical school at Yenepoya Medical College in India when Dr. Anantha experienced the patients' perspective personally. He felt firsthand what it is to be a patient, which gave him a different perspective about his patients' needs and has made him even more motivated to provide exceptional care. Dr. Anantha completed his residency at the Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell, then went on to pursue his fellowship training in hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgeries at Providence Hospital and Medical Center- Michigan State University. Dr. Anantha now has his clinical practice at Monter Cancer Center affiliated with Northwell Health- Long Island Jewish Medical Center and extends his practice to LIJ- Forest Hills Hospital, where he serves as chairman for the Multidisciplinary Tumor Board Conferences, assessing tumors and growths with other cancer care professionals with a multidisciplinary approach, striving for better patient outcomes. To further his interests in clinical research, Dr. Anantha serves as a Principal Investigator in gall bladder cancer trials, paving the way for a better future for patients with this condition. Every member of Dr. Anantha’s practice, including medical assistants, nurse practitioners and administrative staff, works toward the same vision: making sure patients leave feeling more confident and being cared for than when they walked in. Dr. Anantha leaves no question unanswered, and molds his approach to every patient, ensuring each receives the most personalized care possible.
