Experience: | 7 years |
Education: | B. J. Medical College |
Academic degree: | MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery) |
Area of specialization: | I am focused on general medicine, and yeah that kinda started with my MBBS days—those early rounds, long nights, the non-stop learning, all of it shaped how I look at clnical care now. I try to balance evidence-based medicine with the stuff you only learn from real ppl, y'know? My main areas—early diagnossis, prevention plans, managing chronic stuff like diabetes or BP—are all about keeping patients from slipping through cracks. I pay a lotta attention to how they talk about their own body... their words matter more than reports sometimes. I mean tests are important, sure, but if you don’t actually listen, things get missed. I also put effort into explaining things clearly. Not everyone gets med terms, right? They just wanna feel better, and feel heard while at it.
I like updating myself too, new guidelines, research etc., but not everything new is useful. You need to know what fits who. I keep it practical, I guess. All this to say—my goal is kinda simple: help ppl feel better, stay better, and understand what’s going on with them without making it scarier than it already is. |
Achievements: | I am working at IQRA kinda changed how I see medcine in general. I got to sharpen my clinical judgement a lot there—handling diff cases every single day, from routine to those trickier ones that just didn't follow textbook rules. We had this amazing interdisciplanery team too, which really taught me the value of talking less n listening more across departments. I stuck to evidence-based protocols mostly, but learned quick that real-life care isn’t always that straightforward. |
I am working as a General Practitioner at IQRA Hospital in Bhuj, where I kinda handle a lot of day-to-day cases but my main focus stays on long-term stuff like diabetes, thyroid issues, heart probs and hypertension. These things affect folks more than they realize honestly, and managing them early can really change someone’s life. I don’t just write prescriptions and move on—most times I’m trying to explain everything, like what’s goin on with their body and what small steps might actually help without overwhelming them. When I treat patients with blood pressure concerns, I always look beyond the numbers. I mean, medications are there of course, but lifestyle, sleep, salt intake—all that matters too, right? Same with diabetics—I try to make the plan something they’ll actually follow and not just nod through. We talk food, movement, stress, sugar checks... even how their day starts can impact sugar levels sometimes. Thyroid conditions can be sneaky. Like, they show up as fatigue or mood changes and people don’t always connect the dots. I use reliable tests n make sure we catch it early if possible. I keep up with recent guidelines n diagnostics, not because it's flashy but cause that stuff actually helps my patients get better results faster. Heart conditions—those really hit home for many. I do believe in taking a proactive approach before anything severe happens. Meds help, sure, but daily habits do more than folks think. I walk them through risk factors and preventive stuff—monitoring, diet fixes, even small things like regular walking or quitting smoking—it adds up. I like to think of myself not just as a doctor, but kinda like a health coach too sometimes. Building trust matters—when someone knows they can ask freely without feeling dumb or rushed, they’re more likely to stick with treatment. My patients often say they feel heard, which honestly means everything to me. Even now, I try to keep learning... going thru research papers, updated clinical trials, that sort of thing. Not to show off, but to make sure I’m doing my part right. I’m always aiming for that balance: care that’s rooted in science but delivered with a bit of heart. Maybe not perfect, but it’s real.
