Dr. Niraj Khandelwal, M.D., M.H.S., chose a career in medicine because of a special mentor: his father. As a rheumatologist, Dr. Khandelwal’s father not only used his analytical skills to diagnose his patients, but also used his empathy to connect with them. When he was growing up, Dr. Khandelwal was amazed to see the impact his father made on the lives of his patients and their community.
Dr. Khandelwal decided to specialize in gastroenterology because the GI system is integral to the entire human body. In addition, he is also interested in the changing landscape of technology that impacts patient care. He also cites his interest in the field by seeing how his mother, who suffered from ulcerative proctitis, was able to control her quality of life through proper management.
Dr. Khandelwal has had many patients in his tenure at Digestive Healthcare of Georgia, but one patient with extraordinary positivity and courage has left a lasting impact on him. This patient was diagnosed at an early age with esophageal cancer, and even though there were obstacles with her treatment, both the patient and Dr. Khandelwal worked through these obstacles together. Throughout this process, the patient remained upbeat and positive.
“She never seemed to look back and was always encouraged by talking about the future,” Dr. Khandelwal said.
Dr. Khandelwal said the most rewarding part of his career is the interaction with patients and their families — hands down.
If he were not a physician, Dr. Khandelwal would have been a teacher or a professor since he loves interacting with people and exchanging ideas. In his spare time, Dr. Khandelwal plays golf, exercises, travels, and spends time with his family. He is blessed with a wonderful wife and two amazing boys.

Staff , nurses, front desk and Dr were all excellent
My last visit Dr. Khandelwal was not good he took two separate personal extensive cell phone calls while I had to sit there and listen to then decided to continue conversation outside of the room. I was like what is happening here I came to him very concerned about a positive test result from colon guard and to make things worse once I did have his attention the first thing he wanted to address was prescribing me trail meds and a prescription to try to help move my bowls.he wasn’t addressing the positive colon guard cancer results which I was scared and worried about until I had asked him about what the results entailed, he didn’t give me clear answers , every time I asked questions he would interrupt me and talk over me I felt Extremely Rushed with No Clear Answers about the Positive test result for cancer from colon guard. The most I got out of that visit was how to take the trial meds given I’m still scared confu cancer. And to make matters worse he didn’t even mention it to me
Very nice and professional staff.

I was very pleased with my visit to Dr. Khandelwal. The entire office staff was very pleasant and helpful. It was a mostly smoothly run doctor visit that I believe I've had. Everyone was very knowledgeable, efficient, and kind. I even commented while in my room how happy I was with the visit I will definitely recommend Dr. Khandelwal to anyone needing gastro services. He answered all my questions and made sure that I understand everything it was going on. Thank you for a great visit
