Experience: | 5 years |
Education: | Safdarjung |
Academic degree: | MD (Doctor of Medicine) |
Area of specialization: | I am a specialist in obstetrics and gynaecology, with sub-special training in reproductive medicine n infertility. Most of what I do centers around female reproductive health—right from teenage stuff to complex menopausal problems—but honestly, fertility is where my focus mostly stays. Whether it's ovulatory issues, PCOS, endometriosis or unexplained infertility cases, I try to look at it not just as diagnosis but like... what’s really affecting the couple.
I’ve trained in assisted reproductive technologies like IVF, IUI, ICSI, fertility preservation, even donor cycles or surrogacy when needed. Not every patient need ART though—sometimes just correcting ovulation or figuring out endo-related pain makes a huge diff. Recurrent pregnancy loss is another thing I look into, it’s underdiscussed and v emotionally draining for couples, I try my best to keep the process evidence-based but still humane.
My approach is ethical, updated n very patient-centred. |
Achievements: | I am someone who got a distnction in MS OBG and later went on to train in reproductive medicine—still feel weird typing that but yeah, it meant a lot. I’m part of BSOG, ISAR, IFS & PCOS society’s, each one kinda adds diffrent dimension to how I approach cases, esp fertility ones. These groups keep me on my toes honestly, with all the updates n case-based learnings... feels like you never stop studyng in this field. But that’s the fun part too I guess! |
Most of my work kinda woven around women’s health—pregnancy journeys, infertility blues, hormonal puzzles, and everything in between. I don’t really stick to just one “protocol”—I try to listen. Like, really listen. Whether someone’s just missed a period or they’ve been trying for years to concieve, each story needs it’s own pace, you know? Most of what I do daily involves managing pregnancies from first scan till delivery—high-risk ones too, not always smooth but deeply meaningful when we cross that finish line. Then there’s infertility... that part, I’ll admit, is tough. But that’s where patience kicks in. Hormonal therapies, ovulation tracking, follicular monitoring, sometimes even IUI—it's all part of the process, but the hope ppl carry in their eyes, you can’t measure that with any scan. I also do a lot of counseling around PCOS, menstrual issues, irregular cycles, and menopausal transitions—stuff that isn’t always talked about openly but affects women deeply. My goal’s usually simple: make them feel seen, heard and not rushed. I do believe emotional comfort counts just as much as medication in long-term healing. And yeah, sometimes just breaking down a confusing report for them helps more than any prescription. There’ve been long nights, missed meals, chaotic days in the OT—but at the end of all that, if one mother holds her baby n smiles or one woman finds her cycle finally balanced out, it kinda makes sense why I chose this field. I still keep learning tho—medicine keeps changing fast, and so do expectations. It’s not always textbook perfect, but I do give each case the same sincerity. Every uterus has a story (strange line but true lol) and I try to honour that.
