Dharti Sheth, M.D., F.A.C.S., is a board certified general surgeon. She completed her undergraduate training at Wayne State University and went on to graduate from its school of Medicine with 'high distinction' in 1994. The next five years were spent at St. John Hospital and Medical Center completing her general surgery residency program. After graduation, she joined the Michigan Surgical Associates, P.C. as the only female surgeon in that private group practice for four years. Recently, she became a founding member of Surgical Specialists of Michigan, P.C. in conjunction with her brother who is also a general surgeon.

     Dr. Sheth is well-trained in all aspects of general surgery, including areas of gastrointestinal, endocrine, oncologic, and laparoscopic surgery. However, her primary area of interest is breast disease. Dr. Sheth is affiliated with national organizations dealing primarily with breast-related issues. She is involved in national trials, thus bringing to our community, the most recent, state-of-the-art treatment options, such as the sentinel lymph node biopsy. Dr. Sheth's office is also equipped with a breast ultrasound machine for possible diagnostic and treatment assistance. Additionally, she is affiliated with the Van Elslander Cancer Center located on the campus of St. John Hospital and Medical Center and therefore has the opportunity to offer a multidisciplinary approach to breast cancer patients.

     Through the group practice, Dr. Sheth has staff privileges at a variety of hospitals including St. John Hospital and Medical Center, St. John Macomb, Bon Secours, and St. Joseph Mercy Hospital.
