Dr. Bhavin Vadodariya - Surgical Oncologist in Ahmedabad
A cancer diagnosis brings one question to the front before any other: who is going to operate, and can I trust them with this? Dr. Bhavin Vadodariya is a Senior Consultant Surgical Oncologist in Ahmedabad who has spent more than eight years in surgery, with his work centred on cancers of the mouth, throat, voice box, thyroid, and neck. He trained at some of India’s most respected cancer institutes, has performed over 1,000 cancer surgeries, and now leads the Head & Neck Surgical Oncology service at Epic Hospital, Ahmedabad. His approach to every case comes down to two things that go together: take out the cancer fully, and protect what lets a person carry on normally afterward, speaking, eating, swallowing, and the way their face looks.
Meet Dr. Bhavin Vadodariya, a Trusted Cancer Surgeon in Ahmedabad
Dr. Bhavin Vadodariya works mainly on cancers of the head and neck, the tongue, cheek, jaw, voice box, throat, thyroid, parathyroid, salivary glands, and the sinuses. These are some of the hardest cancers to operate on, because the tumour usually sits right next to nerves and structures that control speech, breathing, and the movement of the face. Removing the disease is only one part of the work. Rebuilding the area afterward, so the person can talk and eat again, is the part that decides how the rest of their life feels.As a cancer surgeon in Ahmedabad, he also treats breast cancer, gynecological cancers, and gastrointestinal cancers of the stomach, colon, and food pipe. Consultations are held in English, Gujarati, or Hindi, so patients and their families can ask everything they need to in the language they are comfortable with. A snapshot of his work so far:
More than 8 years in surgery and surgical oncology
Over 1,000 cancer surgeries performed
500+ microvascular reconstructions (rebuilding tissue after large tumours are removed)
Operating across 8+ hospitals in Ahmedabad and Gujarat
Registered with the Gujarat Medical Council (Reg. No. 45432)
Cancer Surgeries Dr. Bhavin Vadodariya Performs
The list below covers the main operations he carries out. Each one is explained in plain terms, with the medical name kept so you can match it to your reports.
Removal of cancer in the tongue, cheek, gums, or jaw. Where the case allows, the tumour is taken out through the mouth so there is no cut across the face and no visible facial scar.
Minimally invasive treatment for selected cancers using focused laser energy to remove or destroy tumour tissue while preserving surrounding healthy structures and, where possible, important functions.
Surgery for thyroid and parathyroid tumours, including minimally invasive thyroidectomy, which uses a small incision and is built around protecting the nerve to the voice box.
After a large tumour is removed, tissue, skin, muscle, or bone, is taken from another part of the body and reconnected blood vessel to blood vessel to rebuild the area. This is what allows a patient to look and function close to normal after major surgery.
Cancer in the voice box or throat is treated with a laser passed through the mouth, with no external cut. It is often an option for early tumours and helps preserve the voice.
Robotic instruments are guided through the mouth to reach tumours at the back of the throat and tongue that are otherwise hard to access, again avoiding a large external incision.
Treatment of cancer of the larynx, with the plan built around saving the voice and the ability to breathe and swallow normally wherever the stage of disease makes that possible.
Removal of tumours in the parotid and other salivary glands, with careful protection of the facial
nerve that controls movement on that side of the face.
Surgery for tumours in the nose, sinuses, and the area at the base of the skull, often done endoscopically through the nostrils to reach the tumour without opening the face.
A combined operation for advanced mouth and throat cancer that removes the tumour, part of the jaw, and affected neck nodes together, planned to keep function loss as low as the disease
allows
Surgery for breast cancer, cancers of the female reproductive organs, and cancers of the stomach, colon, and food pipe, planned alongside the wider treatment team.

Questions Patients Ask Before Cancer Surgery
Find answers to common queries about Dr. Bhavin Vadodariya, a Senior Surgical Oncologist and trusted head and neck cancer surgeon in Ahmedabad. Learn about his surgical approach, experience, and patient care philosophy.
When should I see a surgical oncologist?
See one as soon as cancer is suspected or confirmed, or even when a test result is unclear. Common reasons to come in include a mouth ulcer that has not healed in three weeks, a lump in the neck or breast, a lasting change in the voice, difficulty swallowing, or a swelling in the thyroid. The earlier a tumour is assessed, the more options usually remain open.
Do all cancers need surgery?
No. The right treatment depends on the type of cancer and how far it has spread. Some cancers are treated mainly with chemotherapy or radiation, some need surgery, and many need a combination. Dr. Bhavin will tell you honestly whether an operation will actually help in your case.
Will oral cancer surgery leave a scar on my face?
Often it does not have to. Many mouth cancers can be removed through the mouth itself, without an external cut, so there is no visible facial scar. Whether this is possible depends on the size and position of the tumour, which is assessed during the consultation.
Can the voice box be saved in throat cancer?
In many early and selected cases, yes. Techniques such as transoral laser microsurgery and voice-preserving surgery are planned around keeping the voice and normal swallowing wherever the stage of disease allows it.
How long does recovery take after cancer surgery?
It depends on the operation and your general health. Smaller procedures may allow a return to routine within a couple of weeks, while major surgery with reconstruction takes longer and is supported by structured follow-up. You will be given a clear recovery plan for your specific surgery.
Can I get a second opinion on my reports?
Yes. You are welcome to bring existing scans, biopsy slides, and reports for a focused second opinion. You will get a clear view of the diagnosis and the surgical options, with no pressure and no unnecessary tests.
