Experience: | 6 years |
Education: | GMERS Medical College Gotri |
Academic degree: | MD (Doctor of Medicine) |
Area of specialization: | I am mostly working in orthopaedics and like.. that pretty much shapes the way I look at all kinds of musculoskeletal stuff. My special interest kinda pulls me into few focused areas—paediatric orthopaedics is one of them, like dealing with clubfoot, DDH or Perthes isn’t just clinical, it’s timing and also patience too. Then there’s orthopaedic trauma—fractures, polytrauma, late presentations—it's messy sometimes but I sort of enjoy figuring out what’s fixable and what’s not in real time.
Hand and microvascular surgery is tricky but satisfying, working with nerves, tendons, those tiny structures that need precision (yeah sometimes under microscope—adds to the stress but also the joy). Then you got bone and joint infections—TB, septic arthritis, long-drawn osteomyelitis.. doesn’t sound exciting but when you catch it early and manage well, it’s rewarding. And bone tumors—those cases really make you pause. Whether it’s benign or malignant, in kids or older folks, getting the diagnosis right and planning early treatment kinda sets the whole journey.
I try not to oversell anything but I guess this blend of trauma, tumors, paeds ortho, and microvascular keeps my clinical brain sharp. It’s not alwys smooth but it pushes me to keep learning. |
Achievements: | I am someone who sort of built my journey step by step, not always perfect but kinda proud how it shaped up. Started off with MBBS at Govt Medical College Baroda—solid base, lot of hard nights (missed a few classes too honestly). Then DNB Orthopaedics at St. Stephen’s Hospital in Delhi—huge learning curve, really pushed me. Later did a fellowship in paediatric orthopaedics at Chacha Nehru Bal Chikitsalaya... those cases, they stay with you.
Also got to train under Dr. Hemant Patankar in hand and trauma surgery—his way of looking at microvascular stuff changed how I approached small details. Right now I work as a Senior Registrar at GMERS Medical College, doing surgery, teaching, and some research too. I’ve presented at few state and national ortho conferences—shared cases on trauma and paeds deformities, nothing big maybe, but meaningful for me. |
I am an orthopaedic surgeon, pretty much glued to this field for over 9 yrs now... kind of grew into it really. My work mostly revolves around trauma care, pediatric ortho stuff, bone infections (those get tricky fast), hand surgeries & also tumors of the musculoskeletal system, which needs a lot of careful thinking and patience, not gonna lie. My main focus is accurate diagnosis and I do try to keep treatments strictly evidence-based, not just following trends but really thinking what’s best for the patient right now. Surgery’s a big part of what I do, and yeah—I believe in doing it right the first time. No shortcuts. I’m currently working as a Senior Registrar at GMERS Medical College, Gotri, Vadodara… and that role keeps me pretty hands-on with both patient care and also teaching juniors, which I kinda enjoy. There’s something about passing on real-life learnings that books don’t cover, y’know? I trained at some top institutes, which gave me that strong base—really shaped how I approach each case. Whether it’s a kid with a limb deformity or a complex fracture that needs urgent fixing, I try to look at the whole picture—not just the X-ray or lab reports. I also really value proper rehab—many people think surgery’s the end of the road, but no... recovery is where the real work starts for the patient. I always tell them early diagnosis helps a ton. If you wait too long, it’s not always fixable. Timely surgery and proper follow-up is key, otherwise things can get outta hand fast. Oh, and I'm also involved in research projects and academic stuff. Keeps the brain active while the hands are busy.
