Experience: | 3 years |
Education: | Dr. NTR University of Health Sciences |
Academic degree: | MCh (Master of Surgery) |
Area of specialization: | I am an orthopedic specialist with an MS in Orthopaedics & Traumatology—most of what I deal with kinda revolves around bone fractures, tendon tears, dislocations and joint disorders that just don’t let ppl move around like they used to. I see a lot of arthritis cases, both osteoarthritis and rheumatoid, and also stuff like post-fever joint pain and osteoporosis (esp in postmenopausal women, which comes up more than you'd think).
My work’s really hands-on, I mean I focus a lot on helping people move better, with less pain and more confidence in they’re body. Acute things like injuries—fractures, soft tissue trauma—they need fast and accurate care. But chronic cases need a diff kind of approach... more long-term, slower progress but still very much possible with the right plan.
I try to tailor my treatment every single time—not just copy pasting protocols. Whether someone needs non-surgical guidance like meds, bracing, and physio, or something more interventional if things aren’t responding well—I plan it all based on their need and stage of the condition.
I feel joint disorders can seriously mess with someone’s life quality. Pain while walking, difficulty sitting, getting up, or even sleep disruptions—it all adds up. And it’s not just about bones either, there’s ligaments, muscles, alignment—everything’s connected.
What I aim for really is to provide proper orthopedic care that’s practical but compassionate too. Like I said, not everything needs surgery but everything does need attention. I just want patients to leave the clinic feeling like they’ve been heard and their issue matters, cause it totally does. |
Achievements: | I am deeply involved in orthopedic trauma research, kinda always looking to push stuff forward in a way that actually helps in real practice. I’ve done paper presentations at places like TOSACON, OSSAPCON and also IAOCON—those sessions really sharpened my thinking, not gonna lie. My thesis was all about how patients with lower limb deformities do after using the Ortho SUV frame—was intense but def worth it.
Besides that, I’ve shared case studies on unstable ankle fractures, comminuted humerus breaks, and some really tricky joint injuries that needed creative solutions. Each one of these pushed me to think deeper into the mechanics of healing, like not just bone alignment but functional recovery too which many ppl overlook.
The point for me is never just surgery—it’s about outcomes, like how patients are actually walking, working, or living after. That’s what I keep chasing through my academic work and real-world cases. And yeah sometimes the data confuses things or the results don’t come out clean, but you learn, refine and move on. Keeps you grounded honestly. |
I am an orthopedic specialist working close to 3 years now, mostly around trauma, arthritis and yeah a whole lotta joint pain cases. I see everything from broken bones and muscle tears to that slow, nagging kind of pain that just keeps dragging on because of arthritis. Some days are just emergency fractures, and other times it’s more chronic stuff like osteoarthritis or rheumatoid issues that need longer-term planning. My training really helped me build up solid hands-on experiance in trauma management—like handling fresh fractures, dislocations and even post-op rehab follow-ups. I also kinda enjoy figuring out the complex arthritis ones, like when meds don’t work fully and we’ve to plan something more structured, sometimes even surgery. Honestly, working through those challenges to get a patient walking better or sleeping pain-free again... that makes it all feel worth it. I'm big on evidence-based treatment, not just going through-the-motions kind of approach. I try to see what the patient actually needs—sometimes it's rest and physio, other times it's a minor procedure or even surgery, but the point is every plan I make is kinda tailored. I talk things through, I explain things as simple as I can (ok not always perfect lol) but I try. Because people deserve to know what’s happening inside their body and why it hurts. I’ve handled a bunch of both elective and emergency cases and yeah, working under pressure kinda became second nature during that time. Recovery isn't just the day of surgery—there's follow-ups, pain control, mobility training, and reassurance, lots of that too. At the end of the day, my goal is simple—get people back on their feet. Whether it’s a cracked bone or a joint that’s been hurting for years, I just wanna help make their movement easier and life a bit less painful.
