I’ve been a surgeon since 1984 and have practiced surgery in New Jersey and Pennsylvania for over 15 years. As a general surgeon, I have extensive experience in the management of a variety of cancers involving the thyroid, breast, skin, colon and rectum; simple and complex hernia surgery; gallbladder surgery; and advanced laparoscopic, endoscopic and open abdominal procedures.
I’ve been the director of wound care at multiple facilities including St. Luke’s Warren Campus since 2012. I especially enjoy advanced wound care and hyperbaric oxygen treatment.
I earned my medical degree at Gandhi Medical College and completed an internship at Hamidia Hospital Gandhi Medical College and residencies at Lehigh Valley Hospital and Easton Hospital.
I am a board certified general surgeon and a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons and Royal College of Surgeons in England and Ireland. I have published multiple articles in peer reviewed Journals.
I’ve been actively involved in the teaching and training of surgical and family practice residents as well as medical students from Drexel and Philadelphia College of Medicine as well as physician assistant students.
“From the moment I arrived at the office I was greeted by the most lovely receptionist. She was kind and helpful! The medial assistant was just as wonderful. They were both an asset to this office! Once in the room the doctor came in within minutes and was very thorough and explained everything he was going to do. His bedside manner was kind. He also clearly stated everything I needed to know for aftercare. I would highly recommend this office! of VIJAY RASTOGI, M.D.”
