Whether he's seeing patients in the office, performing surgery, or welcoming a new baby into the world, Dr. Tej Ganti enjoys the variety that comes with caring for women at IRMC Women's Health OB/Gyn.

What he enjoys most is taking the time to truly listen. By understanding each patient's concerns and working together to find solutions, he helps women navigate every stage of their healthcare journey. It's that combination of medicine, surgery, and obstetrics that inspired him to choose a career in women's health.

Outside of work, Dr. Ganti enjoys reading, hiking, and challenging family and friends to a board game. His go-to coffee order is a black coffee or an Americano, Korean soondubu is his ultimate comfort meal, and Lemoona House is a local favorite. Long road trips are fueled by audiobooks, and if he hadn't become a physician, he says he would have loved being a teacher.

One thing that might surprise you? Dr. Ganti has checked both skydiving and bungee jumping off his bucket list. While he enjoys adventure outside the office, his focus at work is helping patients feel heard, supported, and confident in their care.
