Dr. Ashwin Giridhar is an experienced Uro-Oncologist whose clinical work spans the full breadth of urological surgery, from kidney and bladder cancers to prostate disease, testicular, penile tumors, and renal transplantation. He completed his MBBS, followed by postgraduate degrees in General Surgery and Urology. He then pursued a Fellowship in Uro-Oncology and Robotic Surgery at Basavatarakam Indo-American Cancer Hospital, Hyderabad.
