About Dr. Nikhil Mardhekar
I was born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia, where my parents instilled in me a love for medicine from an early age. Their passion for medicine and respect for the sciences sparked my own fascination with the human body’s complexity. This inspiration led me to Lincoln Memorial University, where I earned my Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.). My interest in physiology and medicine soon grew into a deeper focus on hematology/oncology, a field where I’m driven to understand cancer and its impact.
Now based in Gulfport, I’m dedicated to serving this community by helping patients live longer, healthier, and more fulfilling lives. Our aim is to focus not just on treatment but on improving quality of life for each individual.
In my free time, I enjoy playing video games, drawing, and exploring the outdoors on my bike.
