Nilay Gandhi, MD
Dr. Nilay Gandhi grew up in Memphis, TN before migrating through Missouri for his
undergraduate studies at Drury University and his medical school training at Saint
Louis University. He eventually made his way to the East Coast, completing his
urologic residency training at the prestigious Brady Urological Institute at Johns
Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, MD. There he was able to cultivate his urologic skills
with many pioneers in the field, focusing on minimally invasive surgery and
oncologic reconstructive surgery.
His research interests include bladder cancer and the use of neoadjuvant
chemotherapy, prostate cancer, erectile dysfunction, and artificial urinary
sphincters. He has published numerous articles in prestigious journals, written
multiple book chapters, and presented at various regional and national conferences.
Dr. Gandhi firmly believes that as a physician, he can also serve as the patient’s
best advocate. He is already actively involved in the community, participating in the
ZERO Prostate Cancer Run/Walk, BCAN AmpUP! DC Bladder Cancer Walk, and
going the distance with Septembeard to promote prostate cancer awareness. He
emphasizes patient education, feeling that a more informed patient can make the
best decision regarding their own individualized care.
