I am working as a General Physician and for me the role is much more than writing prescription or rushing from one case to another. My focus is on really understanding what a patient is going through, connecting all the dots, and then creating a plan that is practical for them and not just something that looks good on paper. Over the years I have handled both acute emergencies and long term chronic cases, and I found that accuracy in diagnosis is half of the treatment already. If you miss the root cause, you keep circling with symptoms, so I spend extra time in history taking and examination. Sometimes patients feel surprised when I ask so many small questions, but later they realise it help in getting to the correct path faster. I give equal weight to preventive care. For me it’s not only about treating a disease but also helping people avoid reaching that stage. Counseling on diet, lifestyle changes, regular checkups — these are not just side notes but main part of my work. I do like to keep things simple while explaining, no heavy jargons, just plain language so that every patient walks out knowing what exactly is happening with their body. That clarity reduces anxiety and makes them stick with the plan. During consultations I also try to balance the science with empathy. Some days are heavy with complicated conditions, multiple medications, or family concerns that weigh down the patient. In those times I try to keep the atmosphere calm, give them space to ask questions, sometimes repeat same explanation twice if needed. Clinical skill matters, yes, but so does patience. My area of practice cover a broad range — respiratory issues, cardiac concerns, gastrointestinal complaints, metabolic and endocrine disorders, musculoskeletal pain, minor surgical needs — all come under my daily work. Emergency care and stabilising patients is another part of my role where fast judgement really make difference. Using modern diagnostic tools and treatment protocols, I keep my approach updated but I never let machines replace human connection. At the heart of it, my commitment is always to deliver safe, evidence based, holistic care. A patient should feel they are not just a number in the system but a person who is being seen and heard. There are mistakes, system delays, sometimes outcomes that test our limits, but for me consistency and honesty with my patients are what define my work.

I am a medical doctor who has always been deeply intrested in mental health and the complex ways it affects people’s lives. I completed my MBBS from PGIMS Rohtak, where I built the strong foundation of clinical medicine and patient care. After that I went on to do my MD in Psychiatry, which gave me both academic knowledge and hands-on experience in diagnosing and managing a wide range of psychiatric conditions. During this time I worked closely with patients struggling with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorders and more severe mental health issues, and I began to realize how much careful listening, empathy, and patience matter in this field. I also pursued a Post Doctoral Fellowship (PDF) in Addiction Psychiatry, because I felt this area needed even more focused care. Addiction is not just about substance use—it impacts families, communities, and society as a whole. Through this training, I worked on cases related to alcohol, opioids, and behavioral addictions, learning both the pharmacological and psychotherapeutic approaches to treatment. This experience gave me a more rounded perspective, not just treating the disorder itself but also supporting recovery, rehabilitation, and relapse prevention. Earlier in my career, I served as a resident at IHBAS (Institute of Human Behaviour and Allied Sciences), which is one of the leading centers in India for psychiatric care and research. That time exposed me to diverse patient populations, complex neuropsychiatric cases, and multidisciplinary teamwork. It was also a phase where I got to refine my approach towards holistic patient care, balancing clinical guidelines with the practical realities of individual lives. My focus as a psychiatrist has always been to bring clarity, reduce stigma, and make treatment approachable. Sometimes the hardest part for patients is just to seek help, and I want to make that process a little less intimidating. Psychiatry for me is not only about prescribing medicine, but also about building trust and finding small, realistic steps towards better mental health. I continue to stay connected with academic work, research discussions, and clinical learning, because psychiatry as a field is always evolving. And honestly, I still feel there’s so much more to learn every day when I meet new patients, hear their stories, and try to help in ways that are meaningful to them.

I am a doctor who completed my MBBS in 2015, that was the real start of my journey into medicine, and right after I began working as a general physician in different hospitals for around 2 yess. Those first years taught me alot about primary care, handling emergencies late night, and dealing with patients from very different backgrounds. Later I went on to pursue my postgraduate degree in MS Surgery from SPMC Bikaner, where I got the structured surgical training, working across OT’s, wards and OPD’s, managing both routine and complicated cases. After finishing that phase, I joined RUHS Jaipur as a Senior Resident, and that experience was intense but rewarding. Being a resident gave me chance to refine my surgical hand, but also exposed me to team work in critical cases, managing post operative patients and balancing between teaching juniors and learning from seniors at the same time. I also completed a fellowship in Critical Care Medicine for 6 month, which made me more confident in handling ICU based patients, ventilator management, sepsis, trauma and all the high-pressure situations that often decide the outcome in minutes. Since 2020 I have been running my own hospital, where I serve not only as a practicing surgeon and physician but also as the Director. Managing a hospital bring another set of challenges, from administration, staff coordination, patient satisfaction, to ensuring that quality standards are not compromised even in busy days. It’s not easy, but it gave me wider view of healthcare, beyond the operation table and consultation room. Looking back, each step shaped the way I practice now. From MBBS to surgery, from residency to critical care, from working under mentors to leading my own hospital—I try to carry forward the same commitment to patients, that every life matter and small improvements in care can make huge difference.

I am working as an Associate Professor in the Department of Community Medicine at Autonomous State Medical College Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh, where I have been part of the permanent faculty for last 8 years. My work is mostly about teaching medical students, guiding them through the subject, and also staying active in public health training and research. Community medicine is not only about textbooks, it’s about linking healthcare with society, and that’s something I keep trying to show in my classes. Over the years I got the chance to be involved in planning and execution of community health programs, sometimes very local, sometimes bigger in scale. Teaching epidemiology, biostatistics, health management is part of daily routine, but what I like most is seeing students connect these concepts with actual field visits and data collection. That moment when theory start making sense in real life situations, it feels worth all the effort. Working in a government medical college also give exposure to a wide range of challenges—limited resources, varied patient populations, sudden outbreaks where quick planning is needed. I learned how important preventive medicine is, and how awareness at the community level can reduce disease burden much before hospital care is required. My role also extends to mentoring young doctors and postgraduate trainees who are looking to build careers in community health. Guiding them in research projects, thesis writing, surveys, and field activities keeps me equally engaged. Sometimes it’s tiring, yes, but then seeing their progress makes it rewarding. Even after 8 years in this post, I feel like community medicine is still evolving and demanding new ideas all the time. Whether it’s non communicable disease control, maternal and child health, or health education campaigns, every project adds a layer to my own learning. And I think that’s what keeps me going, the sense that the work we do doesn’t just stay in classrooms but actually goes out into villages, cities, and make impact on public health.

I am working as a Neonatologist, a field that I chose after completing my MBBS, then MD in Pediatrics and later DM in Neonatology. The journey was long, and honestly sometimes draining, but it gave me the skills and patience needed to deal with newborns who are so fragile and yet so strong in their own way. My focus is on providing complete neonatal care, from premature babies requiring NICU support to term babies who may still face complications right after birth. Over the years I have also extended my work to cover general pediatric consultations, cause once a child leaves NICU the challenges don’t end, they just change shape. From growth monitoring, feeding issues, vaccination schedules, developmental delays to infections that come during early years, I try to look at the whole picture and not just the immediate medical concern. I work with a dedicated team that include other neonatologists, pediatricians, nurses and allied health staff. Team work is critical here, no one can handle a neonatal emergency alone. Whether it’s respiratory distress, sepsis, or birth related complications, having trained people around mean every second is used well. Sometimes we succeed fast, sometimes progress is slow, but the effort never stops. My practice also stretches into prenatal guidance—talking to expectant parents who are worried about delivery, explaining risk factors, or planning for possible neonatal support if complications are expected. These discussions are just as important as treatment, cause family understanding often decide how smooth the recovery phase goes. The goal for me remain simple yet challanging: to ensure children not only survive but thrive, to support families in difficult moments and to provide care that match the highest standards of neonatal and pediatric medicine. Even now, each small milestone—whether it is a premature baby finally gaining weight or a parent smiling after sleepless nights—reminds me why this work matter so much.

I am a rheumatologist specialized in autoimmune diseases, working with patients who deal with long term and often unpredictable conditions. My practice cover a wide range of disorders like rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, psoriatic arthritis, vasculitis, scleroderma and different overlap syndromes that sometimes blur lines between diagnosis. These illnesses are complex, they dont follow one fixed pattern, which mean every patient require an individual approach, and that is what I try to focus on. I use conventional DMARDs, biologics and targeted synthetic therapies depending on what the condition demand and how the patient respond. Some cases stabilize early, some need frequent adjustments, and sometimes even the best planned treatment may not work as expected, that’s where patience and continuity matter. Along with medicine I perform procedures like intra-articular corticosteroid injections, platelet-rich plasma therapy and joint aspirations, because relief often comes not from one method but combining things together. In daily work I rely a lot on diagnostic precision—interpreting immunological assays, serological profiles, and musculoskeletal imaging to catch the disease stage correctly. Missing a small detail can change treatment direction, so I try to spend time carefully correlating lab data with what the patient actually feels in their body. I run an independent rheumatology clinic where I see a large proportion of patients with autoimmune and inflammatory conditions. Over the years I managed complex cases like lupus nephritis, refractory rheumatoid arthritis, vasculitis with multi organ involvement, psoriatic arthritis with diabetes or hypertension, and other overlap states that need very close monitoring. I work with female patients who have gender-specific challenges in autoimmune disease, and also geriatric patients where age-related factors complicate therapy. Procedures like PRP injections and joint aspiration for osteoarthritis, frozen shoulder and inflammatory arthritis are part of my practice, and I have seen many patients gain back function with these. I also make sure to stay updated by joining CME activities and international training, like EULAR courses on SLE. These keep me aligned with current guidelines and evolving therapies. For me rheumatology is not only about prescribing drugs, it’s about long term partnership with patients. Chronic disease can be draining, so I put equal attention on counseling, lifestyle changes, and rehabilitation. Family medicine principles—continuity, coordination, comprehensive care—are deeply integrated in the way I work. At the end, the aim is not just to manage symptoms, but to help patients live a life where disease is not controlling everything.

I am working in clinical practice for the last 3 yrs, and during this time I learned more from patients than from any textbook honestly. At the start I was not even sure how quickly I will adapt to the workload, the long OPDs, late night emergencies, constant calls.. but slowly it became routine and also gave me a sense of responsibility that nothing else can match. My focus has been on providing reliable primary care and managing both acute and chronic illnesses, guiding patients not only with prescriptions but with small day to day advice that make treatment more sustainable. In these 3 years I handled cases ranging from fevers, infections, hypertension, diabetes to more complicated referrals where coordination with specialists was needed. I try to keep my approach simple, listen carefully, explain in plain words, and make sure patients feel they are not alone in this process. Working in different clinical setups exposed me to variety of challenges—sometimes limited resources, sometimes families with high expectations, sometimes cases that did not respond as text book say they should. Those moments are tough, but they also shape you, make you double check, learn from mistakes, and improve. I also got chance to assist in procedures and basic emergency care, and those experiences still stay with me whenever I face similar cases. I believe continuity of care is one of the most important thing in general medicine. Patients come back not just for medicines but for trust, for the feeling that their doctor understand their history and concern. Over these years I also realized how much counseling matter, even for simple illnesses—reassuring parents of a sick child, or explaining lifestyle changes to someone with early diabetes, can sometimes be more impactful than the prescription itself.

I am working as an obstetrician and gynecologist, after completing my MS in Obstetrics and Gynecology in 2020 from Medical College, Kolkata. The training years there were tough, demanding long hours, sleepless nights and constant exposure to both routine and emergency cases. But they shaped me into a doctor who can stay calm and focused even when the situation is unpredictable. Since then, I have worked for around 5 years across different medical colleges and hospitals, which gave me a very wide clinical exposure. Each setup brought different challenges—some had resource limitations, some had high patient loads, some had complicated referral cases—and all of them helped me grow. Currently I am practicing at BLK Max Hospital, Delhi, where my main work revolve around managing high-risk obstetric cases and a broad range of gynecological conditions. High-risk pregnancies demand extra vigilance, cause one small change can shift the entire outcome for both mother and baby. I have been trained and experienced in handling such cases with a balance of caution and decisiveness, whether it involve preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, multiple pregnancy, or preterm labor. I also hold a strong interest in minimal access surgeries in gynecology. Laparoscopic and hysteroscopic procedures allow patients quicker recovery, less pain and fewer complications compared to traditional approaches. For me, learning and practicing minimal access surgery is about constantly updating my skills and ensuring patients get the benefit of modern surgical care. My approach has always been comprehensive—medicine and surgery are important, but so is counseling, explaining, and reassuring patients and families. Women often hesitate to share openly about gynecological problems, and I try to create an environment where they feel heard and supported without judgement. Looking back, these years in obstetrics and gynecology taught me that every delivery, every surgery, and every consultation is unique. There are no perfect formulas, just experience, knowledge, patience, and empathy to guide the way. And that’s what I aim to carry forward in my practice everyday.

I am Dr. Sujeet Manohar, working as a Diabetologist and Family Physician with more than 15 yrs of medical practice. My clinic is in Aurangabad, Bihar, where I see patients from all age groups, children to elderly, for both routine and chronic health problems. I completed my MD (Physician) and also hold a Post Graduate Diploma in Cardiology, which helped me understand not only diabetes but also the heart related complications that often go hand in hand with it. My main work is in diabetes management—helping patients control sugar levels, prevent complications, and make lifestyle adjustments that actually last. Many people think diabetes is just about tablets or insulin, but I see it more as a long journey, where counseling, food habits, daily activity and regular follow up matter just as much as medicine. Over years I have guided hundreds of patients to manage blood pressure, thyroid disorders, obesity and other metabolic conditions which are tightly linked with diabetes. As a family physician, I focus on continuity of care. That means not just treating a one-time problem but being there for families across their life stages—childhood fevers, adolescent health, adult checkups, geriatric care. My clinic provide services like general health checkups, emergency care, chronic disease follow up and preventive medicine. I also make sure to explain things in simple Hindi or English, so that patients understand their condition clearly and feel part of the decision. I am registered with the Medical Council of India, and continue to learn through conferences, workshops, and ongoing medical education. I also believe strongly in awareness and preventive health. Sometimes a small talk about diet or regular exercise at the right time can prevent years of suffering, and I keep that in mind during every consultation. Right now, my goal is to keep building a trusted space for patients where they know they can walk in with any health concern—be it diabetes, general medicine, or just a regular checkup—and feel that their problem will be heard and addressed with care.

I am an MBBS, MS in Obstetrics and Gynecology, and after completing my degree I got the chance to work at TATA Memorial Hospital, which was a huge learning ground for me. Working there exposed me to complex gynecological and oncological cases, high patient volumes and situations where decisions had to be made quickly yet with precision. Those early years taught me that this field is not just about clinical skill, but also about resilience and empathy for women who come in with very different stories and needs. After passing out I have gathered 5 years of work experience in obstetrics and gynecology, dealing with both routine and high risk obstetric cases. Managing pregnancies where complications like preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, or preterm labor arise is something I am trained for, and every such case remind me how fragile yet strong this journey can be. I also provide gynecological care ranging from menstrual problems, PCOS, infertility evaluation, fibroids, ovarian cysts, to menopausal issues. In surgical practice I perform cesarean deliveries, hysterectomies and gynecological procedures, and I maintain a strong interest in minimally invasive approaches that help women recover faster with fewer complications. The surgical part is important, but what I equally value is counseling—explaining to patients and families what to expect, reducing fear, and making sure they feel supported throughout treatment. I keep my approach patient centered, looking not just at reports or symptoms but also at how a condition affect daily life. Many women hesitate to share openly, especially about reproductive health, and creating a space where they feel comfortable is as important as writing the right prescription. Over time, my experience has shown me that obstetrics and gynecology is a balance between science and sensitivity—knowing when to act firmly and when to just listen.
