He is particularly dedicated to the care of complex surgical patients, many of whom are frequently considered challenging or high-risk. He actively contributes to surgeon education by sharing his operative videos and has maintained thoughtful engagement in clinical research. Beyond the operating room, Dr. Mehta is deeply committed to physician leadership and advocacy. As an MBA, he has actively engaged with healthcare leadership and helped guide organizations toward models that are patient-centered while being protective of the interests of healthcare workers, rather than driven primarily by profits and margins.

Dr. Mehta’s ultimate mission in life is to alleviate human suffering arising not only from physical illness, but also from emotional and mental distress. Beyond treating patients, he is dedicated to helping individuals think clearly, live with purpose, and align with their highest values—believing that when people are mentally sorted, they are better equipped to serve others and create a positive ripple effect in the world. To this effect, he has mentored many young physicians, professionals, and individuals from diverse backgrounds through personal and professional challenges with greater clarity and authenticity. He defines impact not solely by surgical outcomes, but by the amount of service, guidance, and care delivered to those around him.
