Major Dr. Urvashi Mohtra
Experience: | 17 years |
Education: | Government Medical College |
Academic degree: | MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery) |
Area of specialization: | I am into managing chronic stuff mostly—things like diabetes, thyroid probs, hypertension that kinda stick with people long term. And honestly, these don’t just need prescriptions, they need patience, tracking, adjusting... again and again. I like working that way, slowly tweaking lifestyle, food, meds, till it fits that person. Everyone’s not gonna respond same to everything, right?
I also work a lot with people on obesity and weight loss—but not just crash diets or some app plan. I prefer going deep into how metabolism, habits, stress, even sleep, all tie together. It’s more than BMI, tbh. We talk goals that are real, not perfect.
My practice also includes loads of day-to-day issues too—eyes, ears, gut troubles, chest infections, rashes or breakouts, even basic ENT flares. I try to keep diagnosis sharp and don’t rush the steps just becuz it “looks common”. Many times it’s not.
Main thing for me is making patients feel like they’re actually in control. Like, giving them the info to decide things—not just following blind advice. I feel that's what actually leads to better health—when the patient knows what’s going on.
Honestly I’m still learning every day. This field doesn’t let you get lazy. And I kinda love that. |
Achievements: | I am someone who’s kinda shaped by my time serving in the Indian Army—those years taught me things no textbook could. While working under ECHS, I handled all sorts of cases, from simple fevers to really complex chronic stuff. That setup demanded fast thinking, sharp clinical judgement n a whole lot of patience. Over time I got really into preventive care too, like catching illness before it becomes a thing. It made my approach more focused...more thorough, I guess. Still learning, still growing. |
I am someone who’s carried over 16 yrs of experience in medicine, with more than 10 of those inside the Indian Army—and honestly, that background kinda shaped everything about how I practice today. Army life made me extremely detail-focused, like you can’t afford to miss small stuff when it could mean something major later. That’s where I started deeply valuing early diagnosis and proactive handling of even mild signs. Preventive healthcare isn’t just theory for me—it’s almost instinct now. In consultations, I’m usually the one digging a little deeper, not rushing to prescribe until I’ve really thought it through. I believe in running thorough screenings and checking all possibilities before landing on any treatment. I want patients to understand what’s going on, not just take meds and leave—explaning things clearly is kind of a rule I stick to, even if it takes more time. My practice covers a wide mix—General Medicine, ENT stuff, eye conditions, GI complaints (like acidity or IBS), respiratory issues like asthma or coughs that don’t go, and dermatology too. From common infections to more long-drawn lifestyle issues like blood pressure or diabetes—I’ve handled them in army setups, rural postings, and now in civil practice too. You learn pretty quick that no two cases ever really look the same in real life. Right now I focus on guiding each patient with clarity, especially around how to manage their own health better. You want to avoid repeating the same illness every few months? You gotta understand your body’s pattern, and I'm there to help with that. A big part of my work is patient education—sharing practical tips, dietary changes that actually work, long-term monitoring plans, even small habit corrections that sound boring but change a lot. If someone walks in for a health review or just needs clarity on some symptoms that aren’t going away—I don’t just look at one report and move on. I try to put the whole story together. Because sometimes the issue’s not where it hurts. That part, honestly, still keeps the job interesting.
