Dr. Haleema Yezdani

I am a general physician and diabetologist, working close to 20 years now and still learning every single day—guess that’s part of the deal when you work with people and their health. My main focus is on diabetes management, infectious diseases, and general adult care. I did my diploma in Diabetology from UK, followed by a fellowship in infectious diseases from UNSW in Australia... which really broadened how I look at patient symptoms and longterm care, esp in complex cases where infection overlaps with chronic stuff like sugar or BP. At some point in this long journey, I also got into Family Medicine—more out of need than plan, cause when you're treating across age groups and following up over years, it kinda demands a bigger picture. That’s why I went ahead and completed a diploma in Family Med too. It helped a lot, esp during my telemedicine work, where you don’t always have the luxury of detailed exams or labs but still gotta make solid clinical calls. Now teleconsultation’s become a whole different path for me... honestly wasn’t expecting it to take off the way it did, but over the years I’ve worked hard to make that space reliable and safe for patients who can’t always walk into a clinic. For my work there—developing online protocols, following up on remote chronic care, adapting to virtual diagnosis—I’ve been lucky to recieve around 25 recognitions or awards. Each of those awards means something different... but all of them remind me that consistent patient-centric care (even through a screen) matters. Every day’s a bit unpredictable, esp when I juggle between managing diabetics, diagnosing infections, and just guiding people through regular health issues—cold, fever, BP, whatever. I try to stay sharp on both clinical guidelines and patient emotions, coz that combo’s what usually makes the difference. Still mess up sometimes, miss a small thing, or rethink a diagnosis later, but that’s also what keeps me on my toes. Just trying to do my bit with honesty n’ effort.
