About Dr. Vivek Raj

Dr. Vivek Raj is Vice Chairman and Head of the Department of Gastroenterology & Hepatology at Max Super Speciality Hospital, Saket, in New Delhi. With over 38 years of extensive clinical experience and more than 20 years dedicated specifically to gastroenterology, he has earned recognition as a trusted authority in the diagnosis and management of complex gastrointestinal, hepatobiliary, and endoscopic conditions. His career reflects a deep commitment to advancing patient care through evidence-based practice and continuous professional development.

Dr. Raj's clinical expertise spans the full spectrum of interventional gastroenterology and hepatology. He is highly skilled in performing complex ERCP (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography), therapeutic endoscopy, advanced polypectomy, endoscopic hemostasis, and GI stenting. His training includes fellowship experiences in both Canada and the United States, where he completed specialized training in endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) at the University of Montreal and advanced interventional endoscopy at a leading centre in Boston. These international credentials have equipped him with globally benchmarked techniques and a comprehensive approach to managing both acute and chronic hepatobiliary disorders.

Dr. Raj has built a substantial practice treating international patients from across the Gulf region, Africa, and South Asia. His fluency in English and Hindi, combined with his calm and systematic approach to patient care, makes him particularly accessible to patients from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds. He works closely with Gaf Healthcare to facilitate smooth consultation processes, medical record review, and coordinated care planning for international visitors seeking specialized gastroenterological treatment in India.
