About Me
I am a breast medical oncologist and researcher who joined the Division of Medical Oncology at The Ohio State University in 2016 after completing my fellowship training in hematology and oncology at Indiana University (IU). I have a proven track record of academic and clinical excellence. I earned my medical degree in Mumbai, India and my master’s degree in public health at The University of Texas Health Science Center in Houston. I then completed a general internal medicine internship at the University of Buffalo School of Medicine – State University of New York before embarking on my fellowship training at IU.
I am a member of the Cancer Control Program at the OSUCCC – James. My research involves identifying predictive biomarkers in BRCA gene-mutated tumors and triple-negative breast cancers. I also have research interests in women who are at high risk for breast and ovarian cancers, and in the correlation between breast density and obesity in healthy women. I currently serve as the co-medical director of the high-risk breast program.
Additionally, I have published manuscripts in scientific journals and presented original articles at national conferences. I am a reviewer for multiple medical journals and a member of several medical organizations, including the American Society of Clinical Oncology, American College of Hematology and American Medical Association.
Working at the OSUCCC – James gives me the resources and technology to provide the best care possible to my patients. I try and educate each patient about their condition, so they can make active decisions regarding treatment. At The James, we define cancer by its biologic and genetic makeup, knowing that it’s different in each person. Through collaboration and cutting-edge technology, we create improved outcomes, faster responses, fewer side effects and more hope for cancer patients.

5. Very nice -
Dr. Sardesai has always been most excellent in his willingness to inform, discuss and answers all questions. He spends time and I don't feel rushed which assured me with much trust in being cared for as a patient having to make major decisions about my condition and very informed information to help me make them. I'm grateful!
After waiting so long to see the medical oncologist, my trust was in question. Have a common courtesy to a patient . I showed up on time you could at least send someone to apologize for the delay. It made me fell like my time meant nothing.
Very pleased with the care I'm receiving and all of the staff involved with my care.
Dr Sardesai (and everyone at the facility) is top notch and I am so very thankful he was my oncologist throughout my treatment. I highly recommend him!! Besides his expertise in the field, he's got a great personality and bedside manner. Sure wish our doctors around here were like him!!
Dr. Sardesai & his team are wonderful.
I NEVER feel rushed - - a big _____ here!
I feel as if they listen to all of my concerns and take appropriate measures to address my concerns with immediate treatment or timely referrals.
