A highly experienced interventional gastroenterologist, he holds an MBBS, MD in Medicine, and DNB in Gastroenterology, bringing 17 years of clinical expertise to the field. His career has been built on a foundation of rigorous academic training and hands-on experience with complex digestive and hepatic disorders.

Dr. Bansal specializes in advanced endoscopic interventions with particular expertise in ERCP (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography), endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided procedures, therapeutic endoscopy, and management of biliary and pancreatic conditions. He performs intricate procedures including choledocholithiasis (bile duct stone) removal, biliary stricture management, endoscopic hemostasis, polypectomy, and GI stenting. His approach combines technical precision with a deep understanding of transplant hepatology and chronic liver disease, making him well-equipped to handle both routine and highly complex cases.

His multilingual approach—fluent in English and Hindi—ensures seamless communication. He takes time to understand each patient's medical history, family background, and concerns, translating technical medical information into practical, actionable guidance. Many patients return for follow-up care or recommend him to family members, reflecting the trust he has earned.

Fortis Memorial Research Institute is a tertiary-care facility equipped with state-of-the-art endoscopic suites, advanced imaging (CT, MRI, ultrasound), and a dedicated hepatology unit. The hospital maintains NABH accreditation and is recognised for research output in digestive and liver diseases. The facility has a strong international patient services team, offering visa assistance, accommodation support, and flexible appointment scheduling for overseas visitors. Gurugram's excellent connectivity—served by Delhi airport and major transport hubs—makes it accessible for medical tourism.
