Dr. Harpreet Wasir — Associate Director in Delhi NCR

Dr. Harpreet Wasir is an Associate Director at Medanta - The Medicity in Delhi NCR, with more than 25 years of experience. His profile records cardiac surgery together with robotic cardiac surgery.

His list covers coronary artery bypass grafting and redo CABG, heart valve repair and replacement, double valve replacement and multiple valve surgery, aortic root replacement, minimally invasive cardiac surgery and robotic cardiac surgery.

Robotic surgery appearing as a named specialty on his profile, and not only as one procedure among several, means it is a defining part of his practice rather than an occasional approach.

He read MBBS at Maulana Azad Medical College and the associated Lok Narian Jaiprakash Hospital, took his MS in general surgery at the Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research in Chandigarh, and trained for his MCh in cardiothoracic and vascular surgery as a senior resident in the department of CTVS at AIIMS in New Delhi.

Three of the country's best-known medical institutions in sequence, one for each stage of training, is an unusually direct path into the specialty.

His recorded awards are from his school years and describe a wide-ranging record before medicine: a merit certificate in the National Mathematics Olympiad contest, the Duke of Edinburgh's Award for all-round performance in academics and extra-curricular activities, a scholar badge for overall academic performance in 1984 and 1985, and a certificate of merit for the same in 1986.

He practises at Medanta — The Medicity in Gurugram.
