When it comes to providing world-class urologic care, for Dr. Sanjay Razdan and Dr. Shirin Razdan, it’s far more than a profession—it’s a family tradition. This incredible dynamic was recently highlighted in an exclusive feature by PEOPLE Magazine and featured on NBC 6 South Florida, showcasing the profound bond and shared dedication that makes them one of the most elite, unique surgical teams in the world.
Operating side-by-side at HCA Florida Kendall Hospital, this dynamic father-daughter duo leads two of the most advanced robotic surgery programs in the state. While Dr. Sanjay Razdan serves as the Director of the Robotic Prostate Cancer Program, his daughter, Dr. Shirin Razdan, serves as the Director of the Robotic Kidney Program. Together, they are changing lives, advancing medical science, and setting the global gold standard for robotic urologic surgery.
Learning from the World’s Best: Dr. Sanjay Razdan’s Legacy As the PEOPLE article highlights, growing up around medicine, Dr. Shirin Razdan always knew she wanted to follow in her father’s exact footsteps. Despite Dr. Sanjay Razdan’s early warnings about the grueling, high-pressure lifestyle of a urologist—even suggesting she look into dermatology or cardiology—she was determined to learn from the very best.
And she had the perfect mentor. Dr. Sanjay Razdan is widely considered one of the most experienced and successful robotic prostate cancer surgeons in the world. Having successfully performed over 10,000 robotic procedures, his clinical expertise is unmatched. Patients, including CEOs, celebrities, and even other surgeons, travel from across the globe to Miami to entrust Dr. Razdan with their care.
His reputation is built on a foundation of groundbreaking innovation designed to maximize cancer control while preserving a patient’s quality of life:
-
Pioneering MULP: He founded and pioneered the technique of Maximal Urethral Length Preservation (MULP), which drastically improves the early return of urinary continence after robotic prostate surgery. Because of this, the majority of his patients have full urinary control within days of surgery, with almost 98% achieving continence by 6 months.
-
Amniotic Membrane Innovation: Dr. Razdan was the first surgeon in the world to utilize Human Amniotic Membrane to promote the early return of erectile function following prostatectomy, giving patients their lives and confidence back.
Dr. Shirin Razdan: Forging Her Own Path in Robotic Surgery While she learned from a master, Dr. Shirin Razdan has rapidly established herself as a formidable force in urologic oncology in her own right. Serving as the Director of the Robotic Kidney Program, she specializes in highly complex, precision-based procedures such as robotic partial nephrectomies, which save healthy kidney tissue while eradicating cancer.
Her patients consistently praise her extraordinary bedside manner, deep compassion, and exceptional surgical outcomes. For Dr. Shirin, the lessons she learned from her father extend far beyond the operating table; they encompass how to treat patients with empathy, respect, and unwavering dedication.
A Bond Beyond the Operating Room Today, they support one another in the hospital, sharing insights, reviewing surgical videos together, and continually pushing the boundaries of what is possible in minimally invasive surgery. For Dr. Sanjay Razdan, who has spent decades teaching medical students and seasoned surgeons alike, having his daughter operating in the room next door is the privilege of a lifetime. As he shared with NBC 6, no matter how accomplished she becomes, she will always be his “little princess”—but she is also a colleague from whom he continues to learn.
For the Razdans, saving lives isn’t just a job. It is a shared calling rooted in family, trust, and a relentless pursuit of medical excellence.
