Dr Brijesh Baraiya
Experience: | 20 years |
Education: | BJ medical College, Ahmedabad |
Academic degree: | MD (Doctor of Medicine) |
Area of specialization: | I am MD in internal medicine n most of my work goes into treating stuff people deal with every single day but don’t always understand fully. Like I see a lot of cases with diabetes, high BP, cholesterol probs, infections like typhoid or dengue, fever that just don’t go away... and tuberculosis too—yeah, we still get quite a few of those. I also look at things like metabolic syndromes and sometimes epilepsy management which gets missed at primary levels.
Internal medicine is kinda wide—it’s not just about a single organ but how all systems interact. And honestly, figuring that out is part of the challenge, but I like that part. Every day is different. Some days I’m dealing with long-term diabetic complications, other days it’s just helping someone understand their hypertension med needs to be adjusted cause they’re dizzy all the time. Tiny stuff matters.
Sometimes ppl come in thinking it's nothing but ends up being serious or the other way around! And that’s where experience counts I guess. You have to listen properly, ask the right qstns, not jump to conclusions just based on textbook stuff. |
Achievements: | I am awarded a diploma in Diabetes back in 2016 and honestly that just deepnd my whole understanding of how much this condition can affect every lil part of the body if not managed well. I didn’t just do it for a certificate or whatever—it kinda pushed me to go deeper into patient care beyond numbers n charts. Now when I handle diabetic cases, I feel like I'm more confident with adjusting treatment plans, spotting early signs, and even explaining things that ppl usually ignore like foot care or eye checks!! |
I am Dr. Brijesh and yeah—been practicing for over 15 years now in internal medicine. Did my MD, and honestly, during this time I’ve kind of rotated through everything you can think of—OPD, ICU, ER, wards. Each of these places taught me different things, not just clinically but in terms of handling real people in real pain. I don’t rush my consults... maybe that’s why people feel a bit more heard when they walk out, not just “treated”. My clinical focus now is more tuned into chronic and age-related stuff—like diabetes care, geriatric medicine and also palliative subjects (which ppl often ignore but honestly they matter a lot). Diabetes is tricky cause no two cases are really the same, and it’s not always about medicines. There’s lifestyle stuff, follow-up, talking people through what’s working and what’s clearly not. I like to go deep with that. I also care about end-of-life comfort... sometimes managing pain and letting someone go with dignity needs more courage than people realise. I don’t avoid those tough convos when needed. Anyway, nothing too flashy here. Just try to give honest, patient-centered care. I listen, ask a lot of qstns (maybe too many sometimes lol), and I actually do take time understanding where someone’s coming from, not just where the disease is at. Patients aren’t just a symptom checklist for me. They’ve got fears, stories, their own pace. I work at theirs, not mine.
