About

Dr. Salim Lalani is a Royal College–certified obstetrician and gynaecologist practising in the Vancouver area, with a special interest in minimally invasive gynaecologic surgery. He earned a master's degree and his medical degree at the University of Calgary and completed his residency in obstetrics and gynaecology at the University of British Columbia, where he is now a Clinical Associate Professor. His private surgical practice focuses on endometriosis and conditions of the ovaries and fallopian tubes.

Clinical Focus & Specialties

  • Endometriosis Treatment: Surgery to find and remove endometriosis, a condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside it. It can cause pelvic pain, painful periods, or pain during sex.
  • Oophorectomy: Surgery to remove one or both ovaries. It may be considered for an ovarian cyst or mass, or to lower ovarian cancer risk for some people with a higher inherited risk.
  • Salpingectomy: Surgery to remove one or both fallopian tubes. It may be considered for permanent contraception, a blocked or fluid-filled tube, or as part of ovarian cancer risk reduction.

Dr. Lalani is originally from Calgary and completed his undergraduate studies at the University of Alberta.

Dr. Lalani performs private gynaecologic surgery at Still Creek Surgical Centre in Burnaby, a Surgical Solutions Network facility that opened in 2026, with four operating rooms and dedicated pre-operative and recovery areas.
