Dr. Sateesh Babu completed surgery residency in 1975 in Metropolitan Hospital/Flower Fifth Avenue Hospital of New York Medical College.

In 1980, he was asked by the then Chair of Surgery to establish the Division of Vascular Surgery at Westchester Medical Center, as the Medical College moved from New York City to Valhalla around 1977-78.
