Experience: | 1 year |
Education: | SRM Institute of Science and Technology |
Academic degree: | MD (Doctor of Medicine) |
Area of specialization: | I am mainly working in Diabetology, Geriatrics & Family Medicine. With diabetes, it’s not just sugar-levels I track—every pt has a diff story. I try to plan care around that, mixing meds when needed with habit shifts that actually stick. In Geriatrics, I focus lot on multi-issue cases, where elderly folks need careful attention.. not just for illness but also for daily functioning & dignity. It’s complex work but really meaningful. And ya, in Family Medicine, I kinda become part of many patients' long-term health journey, across generations sometimes, which’s a nice trust to earn. I like to think in big-picture terms: How’s their lifestyle? Is stress playing a role? Are we catching signs early enough? My aim is to be real with patients, adapt their care to where they’re at, & support them without too many disruptions. It’s slow work at times but it pays of when someone feels better without over-medicalising every problem!! |
Achievements: | I am working across emergency medicine, diabetes care, geriatrics & general practice—kinda shaped me into a all-rounded doc. Handling acute stuff like chest pain or hypoglycemia needs quick thinking, but managing long-term things like sugar control or old age complications?? that takes patience and small tweaks. I like combining both. My background helps me balance clinical judgement with actual empathy.. not just protocol. |
I am working as a General Physician Consultant at Apollo Hospital since the past 4 years, which kinda shaped a big chunk of who I am as a doctor now. Day in and day out, I deal with a pretty wide range of medical cases—some straightforward, others not so much. Most of my time goes into clinical diagnosis, treatment planning, and, yeah, patient follow-ups which can get intense sometimes. I use evidence-based stuff, mostly, but honestly, sometimes you just gotta pause and listen beyond lab values too. My time here really taught me how vital teamwork is. Whether it's coordinating with cardiologists, gastroenterologists, or even physios—we all gotta be on the same page, right? I’ve been part of so many multi-disciplinary cases, esp the ones where things aren’t black-and-white. That mix of collaboration and accountability, it’s something I’ve learnt to respect. I try not to rush diagnosis even when the OPD is full... I like connecting with the person behind the chart. That’s where it starts for me—making sure patients feel seen & understood before jumping into treatment. Sometimes a simple change in lifestyle advice does more than a bunch of pills, y’know? What I’m also kinda serious about is staying updated. Like tech in healthcare's moving crazy fast, and I do follow emerging diagnostic tools, digital health trends n all that. But I won’t throw jargon at patients unless it's actually helping their understanding of the disease. At the end of it, what matters most to me is patient safety & trust. Doesn’t matter if it's hypertension or something acute—we need to get to the root and manage the whole picture. My aim is just this: offer consistent, no-shortcut care that respects both science & human side of medicine.
