About Gautam K. Malhotra, MD, PhD

Dr. Malhotra is a board certified Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgical Oncologist. He is a California native, who completed his undergraduate and master’s degrees at the University of California at Berkeley before moving to the Midwest to complete his MD, PhD, and general surgery training. He returned to California and completed his subspecialty training in Complex Surgical Oncology at the City of Hope Cancer Center before being recruited to USC to provide the latest in surgical care for cancer patients.

 

Dr. Malhotra has a special interest and expertise in minimally invasive techniques including laparoscopic and robotic surgery. He is also engaged in innovative research with a focus on early detection of pancreatic cancer and novel treatments for colorectal liver metastasis. Dr. Malhotra has presented his work at national and international conferences and has won numerous awards for his research and clinical excellence. Dr. Malhotra chose Keck Medicine because of the opportunity to work closely with patients while continuing his research. He also enjoys the opportunity to give his patients the benefit of leading-edge technology and the latest research.

 


A big part of patient care comes down to communication. I like to take a little extra time to explain the diagnosis, work up, and treatment options so my patients have all the information and understand what’s going on. This allows them to be more involved and participate in their treatment decisions.

Very caring and explained diagnosis and test results and testing required. I appreciate the fact he wants to try 1 last test before rushing to surgery to give me a option of a less invasive surgery versus a life changing major surgery. He is very thoughtful in that aspect to give me a better outcome as possible. Also very helpful in if I need work notes in the meantime while I wait for testing/surgery so I don't stress about that. So overall a very happy I have him a a Doctor also the PA was very helpful gave me her email to contact her with any needs I might have or other questions if I come up with some in the time being.

Dr. Malhotra was amazing. He listened to my concerns and explained everything in great detail. I appreciated that he showed me images on paper and on the computer. His staff were very kind.

I would recommend Dr. Malhotra to anyone with a condition he treats. Thoughtful, clear explanations, answers all questions, shows warmth and concern, as well as being reassuring
