With a broad educational background, Dr. Sandhu graduated with his Bachelor of Arts degree in Chemistry with Biological Specialization from Duke University. He then went on to earn his medical degree from the Emory University School of Medicine in 1986.

Furthering his training, he performed his residency in radiology at the University of California, San Francisco Medical Center in 1991, his fellowship in body imaging at the University of California, San Francisco Medical Center in 1992, and his fellowship in interventional radiology at Emory University Hospital in 1993.

Vascular and interventional radiology is a cutting-edge medical specialty that encompasses image-guided minimally invasive procedures which minimize hospital stays and patient recovery time. It is a leading and innovative partner in the minimally invasive procedural trend of medicine and surgery. Vascular and interventional radiologists focus on diseases of the blood vessels and lymphatic system, but also treat other conditions, such as cancer and infertility. They perform minimally invasive treatments that have less risk, pain, and recovery time compared to open surgery.
