Dr. Gandhi graduated with a degree in medicine from Delhi University, India in 1973.  She completed her training in Obstetrics & Gynecology and General Surgery in New Delhi, India, and then worked in a Government Family Practice, primarily dealing in Women’s Health. 

In March 1979, Dr. Gandhi moved to England with her young family.  From 1979-1984, she worked in Laboratory Medicine, which included three years as a Registrar at Westminster Hospital, a premier teaching institution in London, England.  From 1984-1987, Dr. Gandhi worked as a Clinical Medical Officer, concentrating in areas of Women’s Health, such as Women’s National Cancer Control, Family Planning & Community Health.  She also worked in Obstetrics & Gynecology and Emergency Medicine.

In October 1987, Dr. Gandhi immigrated to Canada.  After successfully completing the medical exams for foreign medical graduates, she worked as a General Practioner at an accredited Cottage Hospital in Baie Verte, Newfoundland.  In January 1990, Dr. Gandhi joined residency in Medical Biochemistry at the University of Toronto, which included training in Laboratory Medicine and Internal Medicine including Reproductive Endrocrinology, with rotations in the major teaching hospitals of Toronto.  Dr. Gandhi finished her residency in June 1994.  During residency, her research work,  "A Novel Method for Restricton Isotyping of the Lipoprotein Lipase Gene for the Detection of a Premature Termination Condon Mutation in Exon 9" won the Best Abstract Award at the Clinical Chemistry '94 Conference held in Springfield, Mass., USA, and also won the PSI Resident Award '94 for the best paper presented by a Resident in Department of Medicine, University of Toronto.     

In July 1994, Dr. Gandhi obtained the General Licence from the College of Physicians & Surgeons of Ontario and joined Toronto Fertility Institute as a Clinical Associate.  She also did locums at various family practice clinics in Brampton and Etobicoke.

While working at the Toronto Fertility Institute, Dr. Gandhi realized that the problem of infertility was a global one, affecting all ethnic populations.  Being from an East Asian background herself, she was aware of the cultural prejudice towards infertility.  Childfree living among East Asian families is generally not considered acceptable.  The problem of infertility is perceived to be taboo, and often not discussed openly and honestly.  Driven by her desire to help infertile couples, Dr. Gandhi decided to pursue Infertility Medicine.  Dr. Gandhi’s diverse medical experience gained in three countries, her ethnic background and fluency in East Asian languages, and her knowledge of ethnic and cultural sensitivities all contribute to her expertise in minority culture infertility issues.

In July 1995, Dr. Gandhi set up her own Infertility Practice in Etobicoke to provide infertility treatment to the patients living in and around the West Greater Toronto Area.  In June 2008, to better serve her patients, Dr. Gandhi established a much larger and better-equipped state of art Infertility Clinic at her current location of 101 Westmore Drive, Suite 201, Etobicoke, Ontario.

Since 1995, Dr. Gandhi has been an Active Staff Member of William Osler Health Centre- Etobicoke General Hospital, where she also does shared Pre-Natal Care with Obstetricians.  Dr. Gandhi is also a Satellite IVF Consultant to the CReATe Fertility Centre located at 790 Bay Street, Suite 1100, Toronto, Ontario.

Dr. Gandhi’s research on infertility has also been published in the International Societies on IVF & Assisted Reproduction.  In May 1997, her paper entitled "The Psycho-Social and Emotional Impact of Infertility Diagnosis and Treatment on East Indian Couples", was accepted for poster presentation and publication in the Proceedings of the 10th World Congress on In Vitro Fertilization and Assisted Reproduction, Vancouver, Canada.  In May 1999, her paper entitled "A Study of Semen Analysis Results and its Relationship to Psychosocial Factors Affecting the Results in a Sample of East Indian Men Attending a Fertility Clinic in Toronto", was accepted for poster presentation and publication in the Proceedings of the 11th World Congress on In Vitro Fertilization and Human Reproductive Genetics, Sydney, Australia.          

Dr. Gandhi is a member of various national and international professional bodies on Infertility Medicine such as, Canadian Fertility & Andrology Society (CFAS), American Society of Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) and European Society of Human Reproduction & Embryology (ESHRE).  Since 1995, she has been attending national and international postgraduate courses, conferences and seminars on infertility.

Dr. Gandhi has also done many educational interviews on Asian Radio and TV Programs to educate couples of ethnic background on the problems and treatment of Infertility.  Every few years, Dr. Gandhi organizes a party for children born from infertility treatment. 

Dr. Gandhi is passionately interested in Women's Health and Infertility Issues.  The birth of children through her infertility treatments has brought joy to the lives of many infertile couples, who may not have otherwise been able to conceive.  Being herself an East Indian woman, a mother, and a medical doctor, Dr. Gandhi brings the best of her compassion and experience to her practice.  Dr. Gandhi’s motive has always been to bring happiness to, and make a difference in the lives of her patients.
