Our Verified Medical Experts

I’m a periodontist and academician with a strong clinical and teaching background. Over the last 4 years and 8 months, I’ve been actively involved in dental education, guiding students at multiple levels including dental hygienist, BDS, and MDS programs. Currently, I serve as a Reader at MMCDSR in Ambala, Haryana—a role that allows me to merge my academic passion with hands-on experience. Clinically, I’ve been practicing dentistry for the past 12 years. From routine procedures like scaling and root planing to more advanced cases involving grafts, biopsies, and implant surgeries. Honestly, I still find joy in doing a simple RCT when it’s needed. It’s not just about the procedure but making sure the patient feels comfortable and safe. Academically, I have 26 research publications to my credit. I’m on the editorial boards of the Archives of Dental Research and Journal of Dental Research and Oral Health, and I’ve spent a lot of time reviewing manuscripts—from case reports to meta-analyses and even book reviews. I was honored to receive the “Best Editor” award by Innovative Publications, and Athena Publications recognized me as an “excellent reviewer,” which honestly came as a bit of a surprise! In 2025, I had the opportunity to present a guest lecture in Italy on traumatic oral lesions. Sharing my work and learning from peers globally has been incredibly fulfilling. Outside academics and clinics, I’ve also worked in the pharmaceutical sector as a Drug Safety Associate for about 3 years, focusing on pharmacovigilance. That role really sharpened my attention to detail and deepened my understanding of drug interactions and adverse effects. My goal is to keep learning, and give every patient and student my absolute best.

I’m a licensed dentist with 5+ years of hands-on clinical experience in general dentistry, and honestly, I still find joy in every smile I help restore. My focus lies in preventive care, early diagnosis, and creating dental solutions that are not just functional—but confidence-boosting too. I work with patients of all ages, and I’ve come to believe that the best care is the kind where the patient feels fully seen and heard. Whether it's a routine scaling or a full-mouth rehab, I try to make the process as stress-free and painless as possible. Over time, I've developed a calm, friendly chairside manner that really helps when working with patients who are anxious or fearful—especially kids or those who've had not-so-great dental experiences before. I consider it my responsibility to create an environment where comfort, clarity, and trust come first. Always. I’m especially keen on identifying issues early—before they turn into something more complicated. My diagnostic approach is rooted in listening carefully to patients (they usually give more clues than we think), and pairing that with evidence-based examination. Beyond the clinic, I stay pretty active in continuing education, attending seminars, hands-on courses, and tech update sessions. Dentistry is evolving fast, and I really believe that staying updated is part of offering ethical, effective care. I’ve also been involved in community awareness drives focused on oral hygiene and preventive dental care.

I’m a specialist in dermatology, cosmetology, venereology, and hair transplant surgery, and for me, skin and hair care isn’t just clinical—it’s deeply personal. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to treat patients with a wide variety of dermatological issues like acne, eczema, psoriasis, pigmentation, and other chronic or seasonal skin concerns. Every case teaches me something new, and I make it a point to tailor my treatments to each individual's needs rather than use a one-size-fits-all approach. My work in cosmetology focuses on non-surgical skin rejuvenation. I regularly perform advanced laser therapies, chemical peels, and anti-aging treatments. These aren’t just about appearance—they’re about helping people feel like their best self, inside and out. Whether it's improving skin texture, tackling sun damage, or softening fine lines, I believe that subtle, thoughtful enhancements can make a big difference. When it comes to hair restoration, I bring years of hands-on experience treating hair loss and scalp conditions. From customized medical therapies to precise hair transplant surgeries, I work closely with each patient to restore both hair and confidence. It's meticulous work—but incredibly rewarding. In venereology, I handle diagnosis and treatment of STIs with discretion, care, and absolutely no judgment. Confidentiality and comfort are at the center of how I practice. I know how sensitive these concerns can be, and I try to create a space where patients feel safe to talk openly. I also stay up to date with the latest medical research and dermatological advancements because I truly believe in offering evidence-based care that combines science and empathy. My goal is simple: to help people achieve healthy, radiant skin and hair—and to feel good in their own skin, literally and emotionally. Mistakes happen, treatments take time, but healing is always possible.

With over 18 years of clinical experience, I’ve dedicated my practice to the care and management of outdoor ophthalmic patients across varied settings. I have done my Diploma in Ophthalmology from the National Board of Examinations (NBE), and since then, I’ve focused on providing accessible, empathetic, and evidence-based eye treatments. I deal with a wide spectrum of eye conditions—ranging from routine vision complaints to more complex concerns like infections, trauma-related injuries, and chronic conditions affecting ocular health. Whether it's diagnosing early signs of cataract or managing long-term visual issues, my approach always begins with listening carefully to each patient. No two eyes are the same—and neither are the people behind them. I’ve worked extensively in outpatient settings, where timely diagnosis and clear patient communication are absolutely key. I try my best to keep things simple for the patient—eye care shouldn't feel like a maze of medical terms and rushed appointments. Instead, I focus on making every consultation practical, collaborative, and comfortable. I still attend occasional clinical meets or training modules to refine my practice wherever needed. I may not always have fancy words, but I know how to take care of the eyes that walk into my clinic. That’s what matters most to me.

I’m an MBBS graduate with a deep commitment to providing meaningful, patient-first care. My clinical training has given me a solid understanding of how to assess and manage a wide variety of health conditions—both common and complex. But beyond just clinical skills, I’ve always believed that the heart of medicine lies in listening. That’s what I try to bring into every consultation: not just treatment, but genuine attention to the person in front of me. I have gained experience across general medicine, paediatrics, emergency care and preventive health. I have treated patients of different age groups and backgrounds, which has helped shaped a more flexible, to diagnosis and management. Whether someone comes with a new symptom or a routine check-up, I aim to deliver evidence-based treatment, explained clearly and tailored to the lifestyle. I’m especially focused on making care accessible and comfortable. Too often, patients feel rushed or confused when they leave a doctor’s office—I try to do the opposite. Taking time to explain options, risks, or even just what’s going on in simple terms is something I take seriously. Communication, I think, is just as important as any prescription. I actively stay updated with current medical guidelines and research, and I’ve been exploring areas of holistic care and preventive medicine too. The more we can do to catch problems early—or better yet, avoid them—the better the outcome for everyone. I’ve seen how small lifestyle changes, when supported properly, can make a big difference to long-term health. There’s still a lot to learn, of course. I think every good doctor keeps learning. But every patient I see teaches me something new, and I carry those lessons forward—with honesty, empathy, and the intent to keep improving.

With over 3 years of hands-on clinical experience, I focus on diagnosing and treating a wide spectrum of musculoskeletal issues—from routine joint pain and osteoarthritis to sports injuries, spinal disorders, and post-surgical rehabilitation. My clinical interest lies in helping people regain mobility, reduce their pain, and return to a life that feels active and...well, normal again. I work closely with each patient to understand not just the symptoms, but the root cause—whether it’s a long-term degenerative joint condition or an acute ligament tear. I believe that good ortho care starts by listening, not just prescribing. I try to make my consultations easy to understand—no confusing medical terms unless you want them. Everyone deserves to know what's going on in their body, and how to fix it. My treatment plans are always tailored. Sometimes it’s about medications or guided physical therapy. Other times, it’s rehab techniques or recommending further imaging for clarity. I’ll tell you what I’d tell a friend or a family member—openly and with honesty. Through this platform, I aim to make orthopedic advice accessible without the wait or travel. Whether you're dealing with recurring back pain, an ankle sprain that won’t heal, or just uncertain about a recent injury, I’m here to walk you through what’s going on—and what to do next. We’ll explore conservative options first. Surgery is rarely the first answer. Recovery can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. I’m here to answer your doubts, guide you through the noise, and most importantly, help you feel in control of your health again. That’s the kind of care I believe in—and try my best to practice every day.

I’m a dental surgeon with over three years of hands-on clinical experience in providing full-scope oral healthcare. My work covers everything from preventive and restorative treatments to advanced procedures like root canals, crowns and bridges, smile designing, pediatric dentistry, and prosthodontics. For me connecting with my patients is more important than Dentistry. As I believe in building trust to make sure that my patients stay calm and relaxed from the moment they step in. Because let’s face it, dental anxiety is real, and I want to make the entire process feel less intimidating for folks. My clinical approach leans heavily toward early diagnosis, conservative treatment, and prevention-first mindset. I believe not every issue needs aggressive intervention if caught in time. Whether I’m handling a routine filling or working on a complete smile makeover, I aim for functional outcomes that also restore confidence. And yes, hygiene and sterilization? I don’t compromise on that—every step follows strict protocol. I have also managed dental teams and coordinated multi-step treatment regimens. This made me more effective and considerate of each patient's long-term path rather than just their current problem. Because this area is always changing and I want to stay up to date, I'm also continuously brushing up (pun intended) on new methods, supplies, and international best practices.

I'm currently working as an Assistant Professor at the Government Dental College and Hospital in Aurangabad, where I also completed my MDS in Orthodontics in 2024 with distinction (76%). Teaching gives me a chance to stay closely connected with both the academic and clinical side of dentistry, and honestly—I learn as much from my students and patients as I try to offer them. My core area of interest lies in orthodontics, especially early intervention and esthetic correction for functional bite issues. Whether it's braces, aligners, or space management, I believe a well-planned smile correction can really change how someone feels about themselves. I try to keep my treatment approach practical and conservative, wherever possible—less discomfort, more efficiency. Besides my clinical and teaching duties, I’ve written and published a few papers in both national and international dental journals. Two of them got pretty good response from peers, which honestly meant a lot to me. Research and writing kind of push me to slow down and think more deeply about the issues we face in dentistry today. It also helps me tweak the way I approach both teaching and treatment, you learn stuff as you go. I’m constantly exploring newer techniques in orthodontic care while keeping the basics strong. Patient comfort, treatment stability, and facial harmony are some of the things I pay attention to—because every case is unique, and one-size-fits-all just doesn’t work in orthodontics. Being in a teaching hospital also means I get to treat a diverse population with a wide range of malocclusions and skeletal patterns. That clinical variety, combined with academic exposure, keeps me sharp and grounded. I don’t claim to have all the answers, but I’m always listening, learning, and refining my work—because that's what good dental care should be about.

I'm Dr. Alan Reji, a general dentist with a deep-rooted passion for helping people achieve lasting oral health while making dental visits feel less intimidating. I graduated from Pushpagiri College of Dental Sciences (batch of 2018), and ever since, I've been committed to offering high-quality care that balances both advanced clinical knowledge and genuine compassion for my patients. Starting Dent To Smile here in Palakkad wasn’t just about opening a clinic—it was really about creating a space where people feel relaxed the moment they walk in. Dental care can feel cold or overly clinical, and I’ve always wanted to change that. So I focused on making it warm, easygoing, and centered completely around you. I mix new-age tech with some good old-fashioned values—really listening, explaining stuff without jargon, and making sure you feel involved, not just treated. From regular cleanings to fillings or even cosmetic work, I try my best to keep things smooth and stress-free. No hidden steps. No last-minute surprises. I have a strong interest in patient education and preventive dentistry. I genuinely believe most dental issues can be caught early—or even avoided—when patients are given the right information at the right time. That’s why I take time to talk, not just treat. Helping people understand why something’s happening is as important to me as treating what’s happening. At my practice, I’ve made it a point to stay current with the latest innovations—digital diagnostics, minimally invasive techniques, and smart scheduling that respects people’s time. I also try to make my services accessible and affordable, because good dental care shouldn’t be out of reach for anyone.

I’m a practicing general surgeon with hands-on experience across a pretty wide range of surgical cases, especially ones related to oncology and gut issues. What I’ve learned over the years is that doing a good surgery isn’t only about being precise with your hands—it’s also about seeing the person behind the scans, hearing what they’re really worried about, and keeping your head clear when things get tense. That balance matters more than people often realise. I handle a mix of elective and emergency surgeries pretty often—ranging from tricky abdominal operations to trauma cases and even those more regular, day-to-day procedures. What I focus on most is safety... making sure pre-op planning is solid, the surgery itself is clean and precise, and follow-up care is always thorough. Over time I’ve realised, honestly, every patient’s story is different, and the way you treat them should be too. Compassion matters. During my surgical training and clinical practice, I’ve developed a solid hand in diagnostics, operative procedures, and managing critical post-surgical scenarios. Whether it’s a challenging oncologic resection or a straightforward hernia repair, I treat each case with the same level of focus and responsibility. I also try to stay up to date with surgical advancements—laparoscopic techniques, better suturing methods, evolving anesthetic protocols—because medicine doesn’t stand still, and neither should we. At the end of the day, what matters most to me is that the patient feels safe, informed, and cared for—not just before the surgery, but every step through recovery. Outside the OR, I really try to keep things simple and honest when I talk with patients and their families. Surgery can be felt scary, confusing, and full of unknowns. So I make it a point to slow down, explain things in a way that actually makes sense, and just listen when they need to talk. I’ve seen how much that kind of connection helps people feel calmer and more in control, which I think really does make a difference in how they recover. No matter how many surgeries I’ve done, I never take it lightly. Every incision, every decision—it all counts. And I make sure it’s done with purpose.
