About Me

Dr. Ruchi Garg serves as Chair of Gynecologic Oncology for City of Hope Atlanta, Chicago and Phoenix. Dr. Garg brings more than 15 years of oncology experience to City of Hope Atlanta, joining the national cancer care network in May 2021.

Board certified in Gynecologic Oncology and Obstetrics and Gynecology, Dr. Garg is dedicated to the treatment of gynecologic malignancies. She works closely with all gynecologic cancer types, including ovarian, cervical, uterine, vulvar and gestational trophoblastic neoplasia. Dr. Garg uses evidence-based medicine and personalized treatment options to meet the needs of each unique patient. She also has a strong interest in genetics and cancer prevention.

“I provide comprehensive care to patients with cancer, focusing on the many aspects of the disease from prevention to survivorship,” says Dr. Garg. “I use standard treatments while incorporating the advanced treatment options available, including robotic surgery, chemotherapy, radiation and immunotherapy.” Dr. Garg has performed over 3,000 robotic surgeries and is a strong believer in minimally invasive approach and enhanced recovery for patients whenever appropriate.

As part of the six-year honors program in medicine, Dr. Garg completed a Bachelor of Science degree in biology at the University of Miami in Coral Gables, Florida, then earned a medical degree from the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine in Miami, Florida.

She also completed a fellowship in gynecologic oncology at the University of Washington Medical Center in Seattle, Washington, and again received a Young Investigator’s Award.

Dr. Garg has held academic appointments as Adjunct Assistant Professor of Obstetrics/Gynecology at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences in Bethesda, Maryland; Assistant Professor of Medical Education at University of Virginia School of Medicine in Charlottesville, Virginia; Assistant Clinical Professor at the George Washington School of Medicine & Health Sciences in Washington, D.C., and the Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine in Richmond, Virginia. Dr. Garg has been published in journals such as Gynecologic Oncology, Journal of Clinical Oncology, International Journal of Gynecologic Cancers and Journal of Infectious Disease. She has presented abstracts in conferences for the Society of Gynecologic Oncology, International Gynecologic Cancer Society, Society for Neuroscience, American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, and the International Papillomavirus Conference, and she serves on multiple national committees for both American Society of Clinical Oncology and Society of Gynecologic Oncology.

Dedicated to lifelong learning, Dr. Garg is a member of several medical organizations, including the Society of Gynecologic Oncology, American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology, and International Gynecologic Cancer Society. She has also won several awards for her outstanding professional work, including Arlington Top Doctors, Northern Virginia Top Doctors, Virginia Top Doctors, Washington’s Top Doctors, America’s Most Honored Professionals and the Castle Connolly Exceptional Women in Medicine award, and she was recently spotlighted on the cover of Washingtonian Top Doctors. Dr. Garg also was recognized as one of Castle Connolly’s Top Doctors® in Atlanta in 2022. She also serves as a board member for Harts of Teal, an organization that raises awareness of ovarian cancer and provides support to women who have been diagnosed with the disease.

Dr. Garg enjoys spending time with her family and friends. She lives for the newest addition of her family, her young son, and she can’t wait to travel with him and show him the world.

Patient ratings
Star ratings and comments are only available for medical, radiation and gynecologic oncologists. Gynecologic surgical offerings are not included at this time due to a different survey tool required to evaluate these services. CTCA uses a validated Press Ganey® survey, which captures patient experience feedback for the primary oncology services of chemotherapy and radiation therapy at our comprehensive care and research centers. Following industry best practice, star ratings and comments are only published for physicians with a minimum of 30 completed patient surveys.
