I am a paediatrician by training and by heart, my journey started with MBBS from Osmania Medical College, Hyderabad and later I did my MD Pediatrics from KLE’s JNMC Belagavi. Those years gave me not just the academic foundation but also the real exposure to the day-to-day challenges of children’s health. After that I worked as a consultant paediatrician at Starkidz Children’s Hospital, where I saw everything from the usual coughs, fevers, growth concerns to complicated neonatal cases that needed intensive care. Each child taught me something new—sometimes patience, sometimes urgency. Later I also worked at AIIMS Hyderabad, which gave me a wider platform to practice evidence-based pediatrics. The pace was demanding, but I valued the opportunity to treat diverse cases and interact with families who often came in with both worry and hope. For me, pediatric care is never just about prescribing medicines—it’s about reassuring anxious parents, understanding the subtle signs that children can’t always explain, and creating a safe space where both parent and child feel heard. My areas of work span preventive care like vaccinations and nutritional guidance, to acute pediatric illnesses, developmental monitoring, and long-term management of chronic conditions. I also focus on neonatal health—because those first few days and weeks shape so much of a child’s future. In hospitals, I learned the value of teamwork—nurses, specialists, parents, all working together can change the outcome for a sick child. I don’t like rushing consultations. Parents come with many questions, and I believe every question deserves attention no matter how small it seems. Sometimes just explaining why a symptom isn’t serious can ease half the stress. Other times, catching a small sign early can prevent something serious. Looking back, my path feels steady but also deeply humbling. From Osmania to Belagavi to Starkidz and AIIMS, each step strengthened my belief that pediatrics is not just about treatment—it is about guiding children towards healthy growth while supporting parents in one of the most important journeys of their lives.

I am a doctor who did my MBBS and MD from BHU, Varanasi—those years shaped the base of my medical journey. The training there was rigorous, but it also gave me a solid mix of clinical skill and real-world exposure. BHU is one of those places where you don’t just learn from books, you learn by watching hundreds of patients walk in every single day, each with a different background, a different story. During my MBBS I built my fundamentals—history taking, clinical examination, that habit of not missing small details. Later, MD training helped me go deeper, sharpening diagnostic skills, managing complex cases, and learning to take responsibility for outcomes. Working in wards and emergency setups taught me how unpredictable medicine can be. Some days were all about stabilizing critical patients, other days about guiding families through long-term care plans. I look at medicine not just as treating illness but as understanding the whole patient. Disease doesn’t exist in isolation—it’s tied to lifestyle, family, mental stress, even the social conditions people live in. That’s something BHU training always emphasized: holistic care. Over the years I’ve handled both common conditions and complicated ones. Whether it’s a straightforward fever, metabolic disorders, or multi-organ cases, I approach each patient with the same priority—listen, explain clearly, and treat systematically. Communication matters to me a lot, cause I know patients and families often feel lost in medical jargon. I prefer not to rush. If someone has doubts, I take time to clear them, even if it means longer consultations. At the same time, I believe in evidence-based practice—using what’s proven while staying updated with newer approaches. Looking back, I feel grateful for the grounding that BHU gave me. It wasn’t always easy, the workload was heavy, the nights in hospital endless, but those experiences shaped how I practice today—with discipline, empathy, and a commitment to never take shortcuts in patient care.

I am a Prosthodontist with around 6 years of clinical n academic experience after my MDS… but yeah actually my journey in dentistry started 10 yrs ago, post-BDS. Somewhere along the way, I realized I was drawn more toward prosthodontics—probably coz I liked the blend of function, aesthetics and that little bit of design-thinking that came with it. In these past few years I’ve worked extensively on full-mouth rehabilitations, crowns, bridges, implant prostheses—you name it. Fixed, removable, maxillofacial cases too, although each one comes with its own learning curve. Honestly, some of the most fulfilling cases I’ve done weren’t even the most “complicated” ones. Sometimes it's just seeing a patient smile again without holding back, that gets to you. Academically too, I’ve been involved in teaching UG and PG students. That part kind of just happened alongside practice, and I stuck with it because explaining complex stuff in simple ways... weirdly helps me understand it better too. Not every lecture goes perfect tbh, but I always try to keep it real, clinically relevant. My focus is and has always been on detail—occlusion, soft-tissue harmony, material choice... that sorta stuff. And yea, I’m someone who still double-checks bite adjustments even if I’ve done them a hundred times before. Some call it being slow—I call it being sure. I work best in settings where patient care comes before shortcuts. I’m not the “fastest hands in the clinic” but I’d rather take time and get it right. Been part of multi-disciplinary treatment plans often, coordinating with periodontists, oral surgeons etc… which is where that long-term thinking helps. Not a big fan of marketing myself, honestly. But if someone’s looking for a prostho with a solid clinical base and who still nerds out about marginal fit and esthetics—maybe I fit that space.

I am Dr. Anusha D Correya—BDS, FAAD—and I mostly live somewhere between root canals and smile makeovers. Been doing this over 5 years now, full-time clinical practice, and honestly? I don’t think I’ve ever had two exact same days. My main focus is endodontics and aesthetic dentistry, though general dentistry always kinda stays part of the picture no matter what. Root canal therapy is a huge chunk of my work—I manage 200+ cases each year, sometimes more, depending on how bad the pain season is (you’d be surprised how ppl ignore symptoms till it’s a full-blown flare-up). I try to make the procedure as pain-free and stress-less as possible, coz really, that dread patients come with is often worse than the actual treatment. At some point, I started getting more drawn to aesthetic cases, smile designing, and just the way small changes could shift the whole vibe of someone’s face. That led me to do my Fellowship in Advanced Aesthetic Dentistry, where I got deeper into veneers, bleaching, cosmetic bonding—all that stuff that kinda blends art with technique. I like the detail work... shaping enamel, matching shade, tiny contour tweaks—it’s the part where being a little picky actually helps. I also use laser dentistry where it fits best—soft tissue contouring, depigmentation, or just to help healing along. It's cleaner and honestly more comfy for patients, especially those who don’t do well with blades or stitches. Not every case needs it, but when it does, I go that way. At the end of it, I’m not chasing perfect teeth—I’m looking to help someone feel good abt their smile, or just chew without wincing. Some ppl want natural, some want dramatic, some just want the pain gone. I listen, plan, and try not to oversell. Dentistry’s not just about technique—though that matters a lot—but about trust too. Anyway, whether it’s fixing a molar or lifting a smile line, my goal’s simple—make it better without making it scary.

I am a gynaecologist who started my training journey back in 2018 as a junior resident at NDMC Medical College & Hindu Rao Hospital, Delhi. That early year gave me a solid clinical base, lots of late nights, tough calls, and learning directly from real patient care. From 2019 to 2022 I worked as a Post Graduate Resident in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Atal Bihari Vajpayee Institute & Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital. Those 3 years shaped most of my core skills—handling normal deliveries, complicated cases, managing emergencies in labour room... sometimes chaotic but also deeply grounding. After that I continued as a senior resident at Hindu Rao Hospital Delhi in 2022–2023, then moved through different setups including Handa Hospital in Sonepat and NC Medical College in Israna Panipat. Each shift taught me something new—the way govt setups work vs private, the patient expectations, and how protocols shift slightly but the responsibility stays the same. I wanted to sharpen surgical skills further, so I did a fellowship in laparoscopy & minimal access surgery at Nadkarni Medical Training Academy, Gujarat (Oct–Dec 2023). Later, I also underwent focused USG training at Chikitsa Medical Academy in Jan 2024. Around the same time I was consulting at Santo Soham Hospital in Rohini Delhi as a gynaecologist, till April 2024. Those few months were busy, balancing clinical work while also keeping up with learning. Currently I am pursuing a Fellowship in Reproductive Medicine (May 2024–April 2025), and working as a Senior Consultant in Gynaecology and IVF at Indira IVF. Reproductive medicine & fertility care has gradually become the centre of my practice—I find myself more invested in helping couples with infertility, IVF protocols, and personalized treatment plans. My path hasn’t been “straight line” smooth—lots of shifts, diff hospitals, new roles one after another. But maybe that’s what gave me wider exposure, from govt hospitals in Delhi to specialty training institutes in Gujarat. I still keep learning every day, coz in obgyn nothing really stops surprising you.

I am a general practitioner who spend most of my time in frontline care—handling patients in emergency situations, both medical and surgical. Sometimes that means stabilizing someone in a cardiac episode, sometimes suturing a deep cut, sometimes just calming a family who doesn’t know what’s going on. The unpredictability is part of the job and kind of why I stayed in it. My work is broad by nature, coz a GP is often the first point of contact. I see trauma, infections, acute abdomen pain, asthma attacks, dehydration, fractures—different things walk through the door every single day. In emergencies, speed matters, but so does judgment. Knowing when to intervene right away and when to step back and refer—it’s a balance I’ve learnt through real cases, not just textbooks. Surgical side of my practice usually involves smaller but urgent procedures—suturing, incision and drainage, wound management, fracture stabilization, even minor excisions. They may sound “small” compared to major OT work, but to a patient in pain or bleeding badly, it changes everything. And I like that sense of making an immediate difference. One thing I’ve noticed is patients often expect quick fixes, but not every emergency ends in instant relief. Part of my role is explaining what’s happening, what we *can* do in the moment, and what needs longer care. Communication in that sense becomes as critical as the treatment itself. I see myself as both a gatekeeper and a problem-solver—sometimes I finish the care right there, sometimes I stabilize and send onward, but either way I’m the one who makes sure nothing crucial is missed. And yes, it’s intense. There are nights where you barely sit, and mornings where you question if you did enough. But then, there are also moments where you realize a quick decision, or a careful stitch, saved someone from bigger trouble. That’s why I keep doing this.

I am a doctor with 2 years of work experience in Govt Hospital Kalburgi, and honestly those years were nothing short of intense learning. Govt hospitals are always overflowing, every day feels unpredictable—you might start the morning with routine OPD cases like fever or hypertension followups, but by afternoon you’re suddenly in emergency handling trauma or road accident injuries. That constant shift between calm and chaos kind of trained me to stay steady even when things go messy. During those 2 years I worked across OPD, IPD wards, emergency and minor surgical units. Some days I was assisting in wound suturing, draining abscesses, stabilising fractures, other days it was purely medical—managing chest infections, uncontrolled diabetes, acute gastro cases, pediatric fevers that would worsen suddenly at night. The load was high and resources not always plenty, which meant you rely more on your clinical judgement and less on “ideal conditions.” One of the big takeaways for me was understanding patient behavior. In Kalburgi, many came late with complications coz they ignored small symptoms. Part of my job turned into explaining simple health issues in plain language, reassuring families, making sure they knew when to come back before it got worse. Communication started to feel as critical as prescriptions. Govt service also meant long shifts—24 hour duties at times, limited staff, but a wide exposure to almost every kind of case you can think of. That gave me confidence to handle emergencies, taught me patience, and honestly also gave me a sense of responsibility that doesn’t fade once you leave the hospital. Looking back, those 2 yrs in Govt Hospital Kalburgi didn’t just give me experience—they shaped how I work today. Practical, adaptable, and always focused on the patient sitting in front of me, no matter how rushed or difficult the setting is.

I am a dental surgeon who graduated BDS in 2012 and later went on to complete my post-graduation in 2021. That kind of makes it 12 years of total experience in dentistry, spread across diff phases—early years where I was doing mostly general practice, learning through day to day patient care, and then later the more focused training during Post Grad which shaped my speciality work. Those years after BDS were important, coz you get to see almost everything in the clinic—simple fillings, extractions, root canals, prosthetic cases, pediatric patients who are scared to even open their mouth, and emergencies like dental trauma. Handling that range taught me patience and adaptability. By the time I went into Post Grad, I had already understood that dentistry isn’t just technical work—it’s also about understanding people’s fears and expectations. Completing Post Grad in 2021 was a turning point. Post-graduate training made me go deeper into advanced techniques, research, academic exposure, and refined clinical decision making. It’s not just about treating teeth but about restoring function, esthetics, and long-term oral health. Some days that means carefully planning a crown margin, other days it’s managing a complex rehabilitation case. The detail work can be tiring but honestly it’s what I enjoy most. Across these 12 years I’ve treated thousands of patients, from routine to highly challenging ones. What I try to carry into every consultation is clarity, precision, and compassion. Dentistry can look small from outside—“just teeth”—but it changes the way people eat, smile, even talk. That’s why I still double-check the smallest steps, even if it takes extra minutes. Looking back now, 2012 feels like a long time ago, but each year added something—clinical skills, academic knowledge, and more than that, a perspective that dentistry is about quality of life, not just dental procedures.

I am a CardioDiabetologist & Physician, and most of my work revolves around patients who are dealing with both heart disease and diabetes, sometimes at the same time which makes things complicated real quick. Over the years I realised these two conditions are deeply connected—poor sugar control affecting the heart, hypertension pushing the risk even higher—so treating one without keeping the other in mind doesn’t really work. That’s what pulled me more into this combined field. Day to day, I see people with uncontrolled diabetes, chest pain, metabolic syndrome, high BP, post-cardiac event patients… each case with its own layers. Some need strict medication adjustment, some need lifestyle correction, and some need just the right words to actually take treatment seriously. I don’t just hand over prescriptions, I spend time explaining risks in plain words—like why ignoring sugar today might mean a blocked artery tomorrow. My focus is on preventive care as much as active treatment. Screening, early diagnosis, regular follow-ups, all matter. Many patients only show up when symptoms turn severe, but I keep stressing that prevention is easier than crisis management. I also manage emergencies—acute chest discomfort, hypoglycemia, sudden spikes in BP—but long-term health planning is where I feel most impact. As a physician, I deal with general medical problems too—fevers, infections, gastric issues, respiratory complaints—but my core remains diabetes and cardiology overlap. It’s not always easy, because these patients need lifelong care, not a one-time fix. Sometimes they get frustrated, sometimes I do too, but I try to keep them motivated coz consistency is what really saves lives here. At the end of the day, my approach is simple—evidence-based treatment, clear communication, and patient-centered care. Whether I’m adjusting insulin, planning cardiac medications, or just encouraging a healthier lifestyle, I keep the bigger picture in mind: helping people live longer, healthier and without constant fear of the next complication.

I am Dr. Vivek Dave, MS (OBGYN), and most of my work is centered around women’s health in its widest sense—from routine antenatal check ups to handling complicated gynecological disorders that need careful and often long term management. My training and practice gave me exposure to almost every aspect of obstetrics & gynecology, but over time I leaned more towards advanced laparoscopic surgeries and fetal medicine, since both demand precision and a deeper understanding of the patient’s overall condition, not just the immediate complaint. When it comes to obstetrics, I manage normal pregnancies, high risk pregnancies, and all the layers in between. Antenatal care is never just about prescribing vitamins, it’s about carefully monitoring both mother and baby at every stage, ensuring safety during delivery and smooth postnatal recovery. Some days that means being gentle and reassuring, other days it’s taking quick decisive action in the labor room when complications rise unexpectedly. On the gynecology side, I specialize in minimally invasive laparoscopic procedures. These surgeries—whether for fibroids, ovarian cysts, endometriosis, or hysterectomy—are less painful, leave smaller scars, and allow patients faster recovery. For me, laparoscopy isn’t just about technique but about giving women the chance to return to their normal life quicker, with less fear of surgery hanging over them. Fetal medicine is another area I work in, where I focus on understanding the unborn child’s development and picking up on conditions that might need intervention or careful follow up. Counseling families in such situations is not easy, but it’s something I consider just as important as the technical part. At the heart of my practice is a simple idea—compassionate care combined with evidence-based medicine. I believe in tailoring treatment to the individual, balancing preventive measures with therapeutic ones, and making sure the patient feels heard in the process. For me, outcomes aren’t only measured in reports or surgical success rates—they are seen in a safe childbirth, a patient’s relief after treatment, or simply in the confidence a woman regains about her health.
