About

Shobhana Talukdar, MD was born and raised in Assam, India. She earned her medical degree from Gauhati Medical College, followed by a residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology at the Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER) in Chandigarh, India. Driven by a strong passion for Gynecologic Oncology, she moved to the United States to further her training.

Her surgical training began with a residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology at the Henry Ford Health System in Michigan. She subsequently completed two fellowships: critical care fellowship and fellowship in gynecological oncology. Having always enjoyed the challenges of managing critically ill patients, she decided to pursue critical care fellowship which not only enhanced her critical thinking and problem solving skills but also made her better prepared to pursue a career in Gynecologic Oncology.

She specializes in all areas of gynecological cancer such as ovarian, cervical, uterine, vaginal, and other cancers of the female reproductive organs. She has extensive training in laparoscopic, robotic and complex pelvic and abdominal surgeries.
