I am a dental surgeon who completed my Bachelors in Dental Surgery from Bharati Vidyapeeth Dental College, Pune in 2023. Those years of training shaped my basics strongly and gave me the confidence to step into clinical practice. Since then I have worked for about two years in general dentistry, handling a wide range of cases from routine scaling and fillings to more complex restorative treatments. I try to begin always with understanding the chief complaint, then taking proper history before building a treatment plan that makes sense for each patient. What I noticed early is that many patients come with anxiety or half knowledge about their dental issues. Sometimes it is just a toothache, but when you trace back you find deep cavities, gum disease or habits that have been ignored for years. My role is not just to treat, but to explain things in simple words, suggest the right procedures, and make sure they feel included in the process. Whether it is a root canal, extraction, crown, or preventive care, I like to lay out the steps so patients know what is happening and why. In these two years of practice I learned how important it is to focus on core basics. Even small steps like proper diagnosis, x-ray evaluation, and oral hygiene instructions make a huge difference in long term outcomes. I am equally interested in preventive dentistry because stopping a problem early is always better than treating it later. Still, when advanced treatment is needed I am comfortable guiding patients toward restorative or surgical care. Working in general dentistry also means being adaptable. Every day is different—morning can be a child with cavities, afternoon a middle-aged patient with sensitivity, and evening maybe an elderly person struggling with dentures. Managing that mix keeps me alert and reminds me why dentistry requires patience and consistency. I see myself as a clinician who values precision but also communication. For me the best part is when a patient leaves not only pain free but also feeling that they were heard and cared for properly. That sense of trust is what I try to build with every appointment, and it is what keeps me motivated to keep growing as a dentist.

I am a doctor trained in MBBS and MS General Surgery, and my path in medicine really shaped how I see patients and their care. From the early years of basic clinical training to the more intense surgical postings, I learned that surgery is not just about operation theatre skills but also about judgement, timing and compassion. Every case has its own story, sometimes it is a straightforward hernia repair and other times it is a complex abdominal emergency where you dont get much time to think but still must act with clarity. During my training I was exposed to a wide variety of surgical procedures, covering both elective and emergency work. Appendectomies, gall bladder surgeries, bowel resections, wound management, all formed a large part of my daily practice. What interested me deeply was the process of clinical decision making—how to interpret the history, link it with examination and diagnostic tests, then plan a management that is safe and effective. Even small decisions like when to operate and when to hold off can make a huge difference in outcomes. I also try to focus on the patient beyond the disease. Explaining the surgery in simple words, preparing them mentally, and making sure they feel supported through recovery is just as important as the procedure itself. In general surgery we often deal with patients in pain or distress, and that moment requires patience. Sometimes you feel the pressure, but it teaches you resilience and empathy. Over the years I understood that general surgery demands flexibility. You may be handling trauma in one shift, thyroid surgery the next, or managing post-operative care for a critical patient. That unpredictability is challenging but it also keeps me sharp. I value teamwork in theatre and in wards, because no surgeon can function alone, and a good outcome always comes from coordinated effort. I keep pushing myself to refine my surgical techniques and stay updated with new practices, but at the same time I never forget the core basics that were drilled into me during training. Clean technique, proper asepsis, clear communication with colleagues and patients. Those are the foundations I rely on daily. My aim is simple—to provide safe, effective surgical care and to support my patients from the first consult till the final follow up, ensuring they feel seen and cared for every step.

I am a doctor with more than 3 years of clinical experiance after completing my MBBS, most of that time working across Tamil Nadu in both rural set ups and larger multi-specialty hospitals. In those years I have served as Resident Medical Officer, Duty Medical Officer and also Chief Medical Officer, roles that gave me a wide exposure to different types of cases and patient needs. Some days were about managing emergencies in the ER where every second counted, other times it was about patiently guiding families through preventive care and chronic disease follow-up. I am comfortable working independantly when the situation required quick judgment, but I also value team based health care where coordination with nurses, paramedics and specialists made the outcome better for patients. I got used to handling OPD flow, inpatient rounds, managing records, and making sure patient care was not just reactive but also preventive. Preventive medicine and community health became an important part of my work, especially in rural areas where resources are limited and awareness about health is sometimes low. Educating patients, screening early for conditions like diabetes, hypertension, and respiratory disorders, and guiding lifestyle changes felt as important as treating an acute illness. Emergency care is something I gained strong grounding in — stabilising trauma, acute infections, cardiac issues, and poisoning cases in primary settings before referral if needed. That experience built my confidence and also taught me humility, because outcomes are not always perfect no matter how much effort you put in. Over time I learnt to balance clinical knowledge with judgement, to know when to act quick and when to observe. In summary I would say my work spans from emergency management to long-term patient care, with an emphasis on accessible and patient-centered treatment. I try to keep my approach practical, clear, and compassionate, focusing on building trust with each patient while delivering evidence-based care.

I am a medical doctor with experiance working across different clinical setups, and most of my journey revolve around internal medicine, pediatrics, diabetic care and also neurocare. From early on I learned how important it is to not just prescribe medicines but also to listen, to pick up small details in history and build treatment plans that really match what the patient is going through. In hospital setting I got used to managing both OPD crowd and inpatients, sometimes under pressure, sometimes with plenty of time to explain—but always keeping focus on clarity and patient comfort. I work a lot with developing treatment plans, whether that’s for chronic illnesses like diabetes or hypertension or acute cases where quick action matter. Keeping proper records and following patients long term taught me the value of consistency. Sometimes it feels repetitive, but then you realize how much trust patients place when you remember every small detail about their case. I am also comfortable with counseling on lifestyle changes, preventive medicine and just guiding families through the uncertainty of illness. That part of work often need more patience than the actual clinical treatment. Over the years I have developed confidence in diagnosing a wide range of illness, but I never think of myself as working alone. Collaborating with other medical professionals, coordinating with nursing teams, and adjusting to sudden situations in emergencies made me more adaptable. Being appointed to leadership roles in clinics and wards gave me an outlook on how teamwork shapes patient outcome, not just individual skill. I try to balance empathy with professionalism—meaning I want patients to feel safe enough to share but also know that their treatment is grounded in evidence based practice. Some days the load feels heavy, but that same responsibility is what make me stay grounded. At the end of it, my commitment is to deliver care that is both effective and humane, and to keep learning while doing it.

I am a doctor who has been working with womens health for more than 5 yrs now and during this time I learnt that every case is little diffrent. My main focus is on antenatal care, guiding mothers safely through pregnancy, labor and delivery. I can perform cesarean sections with skill and care, always keeping both mother and baby in mind not just the procedure itself. Apart from maternity care, I also deal with a wide range of gynaecological issues, from irregular cycles to common infections and other problems that many women often hesitate to talk about. I try to keep my consultation room as open and non-judgemental as possible, cause comfort is half the treatment. In hospital settings I worked across OPD, inpatient, and also assisted in surgeries, which gave me a deeper view of how to manage emergencies as well as long term care. Sometimes its about small guidance like nutrition advice during pregnancy, sometimes its about handling critical complications where quick decision matters more than anything. I also spend time in spreading awareness about women health, conducting talks and counselling sessions especially in areas where information is limited. I believe gynecology is not just about treating problems but about educating women to understand their own bodies better. That part of work feels as important as performing c sections or prescribing meds. Every day is mix of routine checkups and unexpected cases, and honestly that keeps me learning and improving. My goal has always been consistent—deliver safe, reliable and compassionate care while helping women take informed decisions for themselves and their families.

I am an orthopaedic surgeon working at KIMS hospital in Kurnool, Andhra Pradesh, and over the years my work has been deeply tied with managing trauma, joint injuries and providing surgical as well as non surgical care for patients who walk in with wide range of musculoskeletal problems. Orthopaedics for me is not just about fixing broken bones, its about restoring mobility, dignity and sometimes confidence that ppl lose when pain takes over their daily life. My role at KIMS hospital keep me involved in trauma cases on a daily basis – from road accident injuries to fractures that need precise surgical management. I also see patients with degenerative conditions like arthritis and spine disorders, where the goal is long term relief and functional improvement, not just quick fixes. Arthroscopy and joint replacement surgeries are areas where I developed strong interest, and I constantly try to refine my techniques to make recovery easier and outcomes better. Another part of my work is with patients in outpatient setting, counseling them about preventive steps, physiotherapy, lifestyle adjustments and explaining when surgery is actually required versus when conservative treatment may be enough. I think honesty in these conversations build more trust than anything else. Being part of a multi speciality hospital also help me collaborate with colleagues across different departments, which adds more depth in patient care especially in complex cases. Working in Kurnool has shown me both urban and semi urban patient needs. Many still come late for treatment due to lack of awareness, and I try to focus on spreading basic knowledge about fractures, osteoporosis, or simple things like when not to ignore a knee pain. At the end of day, whether its performing surgery or guiding a family through recovery, my aim is always to make the patient feel supported, safe and understood.

I am a practicing urologist working at Dr Gangadhar Rao hospital in Bhimavaram for the past 5yrs, and most of my daily work is around diagnosing and treating wide range of urinary tract and kidney related disorders. I deal with conditions like kidney stones, urinary tract infections, prostate enlargement, bladder issues, and sometimes complex urological emergencies where fast decisions matter more than anything. Over these years I got to perform both minor and major procedures, from catheterizations and cystoscopies to surgeries that require more precision and team effort. I try to combine clinical knowledge with a practical approach, always starting with listening carefully to patients history and symptoms. For me half the diagnosis is made just by paying enough attention. My focus is not just on surgical outcomes but also on post operative recovery, counselling and long term preventive care. Many patients come with anxiety about urological problems, and I keep it a priority to explain clearly what is happening and what steps are best suited for them. Working in Bhimavaram has given me exposure to both routine cases and also complicated referrals, which shaped my ability to handle emergencies and plan treatments that are both safe and effective. I also believe in continuous learning, updating my methods according to evidence based guidelines and newer technologies. At the same time I never forget the simple things – empathy, patience and clear communication – because without those even the best surgery does not feel complete. In these 5yrs, I handled hundreds of consultations and procedures, and each patient added to my learning in some way. I see my role not only as a surgeon but also as a guide for patients and families who are often confused or worried. My goal continues to be providing accessible, reliable and compassionate urology care for the community here.

I am a doctor who started my journey soon after internship, working in 2 hospitals for a brief period where I got first hand exposure to ward duties, OPD consults and emergency call management. Those months were hectic but they gave me solid ground in understanding how to prioritize cases and coordinate with different departments. Later I joined Aiqa Health where I worked for more than a year in telemedicine. That shift was unique, because treating patients virtually demand sharper skills in history taking, patience in listening and ability to guide without physical exam. It pushed me to focus on clarity in communication and to make quick but safe clinical decisions, which I feel has made me more attentive to details. After my NEET PG exam I joined Desun Hospital for 6 months. Working there brought me back into the rhythm of hospital-based care, dealing with acute cases, critical ward rounds and inpatient monitoring. I had chance to collaborate with seniors across multiple specialties and that gave me better insight into multi-disciplinary treatment planning. Those experiences also taught me to balance independence with team work, since some days required me to take decisions alone while other times it was about coordinating and learning from colleagues. Looking back I see my path as a mix of conventional hospital medicine and modern telehealth practice. Both areas have shaped me differently—hospitals sharpened my procedural skills and emergency response while telemedicine refined my counseling and diagnostic approach. Together they made me more adaptable and confident in handling diverse patient needs. I try to carry forward this balance in my practice today, aiming to provide care that is both thorough and compassionate, whether the patient is across a screen or right in front of me.

I am a urologist who shaped my career step by step through training in some of the well known medical institutions in India. I did my MBBS from JSS Mysore, then moved on to MS in General Surgery at MGM Jaipur. Later I pursued DNB in General Surgery in Delhi before completing my MCh in Urology from MMIMSR. Each phase of this journey gave me more than just degrees, it gave me deeper exposure to patient care, surgical skills and the discipline needed to manage complex medical cases. During my surgical years I learnt the importance of balancing precision with empathy, because patients dont just need procedures they need trust and clarity. In general surgery training I got solid grounding in managing emergencies, trauma and elective surgical cases. Shifting into urology was a natural move for me since I wanted to work more closely with long term patient outcomes in conditions like urinary stones, prostate problems, infertility or continence issues. Working in different cities—Mysore, Jaipur, Delhi, Ambala—helped me see how varied patient needs are across regions. Some places people come late with advanced problems, in others they seek preventive care early. That difference shaped how I listen to patients now. I try to keep my consultations practical and open, explaining options in simple words and giving space for questions even if it takes more time. My clinical approach is guided by evidence based medicine but I dont ignore common sense or patient preference. For example sometimes two surgical options exist, both valid, but the lifestyle of the patient decides which one makes more sense. I keep reminding myself surgery is not just about technical success but also about how well the person recovers and adapts afterwards. I feel urology is one of the few specialties where you combine high-end surgical work with very personal aspects of life—sexual health, fertility, daily comfort. That responsibility push me to stay updated and to keep refining my skills. Each patient I treat adds to my understanding, and I see every case as a chance to improve not only their health but also my practice.

I am a doctor with 14 years of clincial work in medicine and diabetology, and over this time I got to see patients in many diffrent situations, from routine OPD consults to really critical care cases. Most of my focus revolve around managing diabetes in all its stages, whether newly detected, long term uncontrolled or with complications like neuropathy, kidney and cardiac involvemnt. I also deal with broad internal medicine problems like hypertension, thyroid disorders, infections, and metabolic issues which often overlap with diabetes and make care more complicated. My approach is always to mix evidence based treatment with practical guidance that patients can actually follow. Like, prescribing is only half of it, the real challenge is helping people stick to the plan, adjust lifestyle, monitor sugar levels without feeling overburden. I also counsel families, because support system makes a big diffrence in chronic disease managment. Over the years I became more aware of how prevention and early detection is as important as acute care. That’s why I spend time on patient education, simple explanations about diet, activity, monitoring and what red flags to not ignore. Sometimes even small adjustment avoid major complications later. I also keep myself updated by attending CMEs, medical workshops and discussing real world issues with colleagues. Every patient case teaches me new things, like no two diabetics are really the same even if the diagnosis is same on paper. That thought keep me humble and curious. Right now I see myself not just as a physician treating diseases but as someone helping people take control of their health journey. I believe comfort, trust and clarity between doctor and patient is just as valuable as medicines or procedures. In the end, it’s about making sure care feels personal, safe and sustainable.
