Early life and career

Chaudhary completed his MBBS and MS (General Surgery) before undertaking a fellowship in multiorgan transplant surgery at the Thomas Starzl Transplantation Institute, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC), United States. He subsequently worked in hepatobiliary and liver transplantation at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, New Delhi, and later served as Associate Director and Head of the Department of Surgical Gastroenterology and Liver Transplantation at Jaypee Hospital, Noida.

Chaudhary is a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons (FACS) and the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow (FRCS). He is also a founding member of the Liver Transplantation Society of India (LTSI).

In March 2018, Chaudhary led a liver transplant in which a mother donated part of her liver to her 18-month-old daughter. The successful procedure was reported by The Hindu, which described it as giving the child "a new lease of life".

Later in 2018, Chaudhary led a living-donor liver transplant involving siblings from Kyrgyzstan. The case received coverage in both The Hindu and The Times of India as an example of cross-border liver transplantation performed in India.

Public health advocacy

During the 2025 monsoon season, Chaudhary warned of a spike in hepatitis A and E cases in Delhi. In an interview with India Today, he said there was a 40% increase in acute viral hepatitis cases seen at his hospital's outpatient department over three. He emphasised that many patients were unaware of the need for hepatitis vaccination and highlighted the dangers of self‑treating jaundice, warning that delayed diagnosis could lead to life‑threatening complications. The New Indian Express quoted him urging citizens to maintain hygiene and vaccination, noting that his hospital had seen a 40 percent rise in acute viral hepatitis cases and that hepatitis A and E were largely preventable diseases. Speaking on World Hepatitis Day in July 2025, Chaudhary told The Times of India that most patients were unaware of hepatitis vaccination and that hepatitis E can be fatal during pregnancy and hepatitis A can cause acute liver failure requiring transplant.
