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.

I am a dermatologist focused on advanced skin health solutions, and over time my practice grew into covering a mix of medical, cosmetic and procedural dermatology. I work with lasers, injectables and dermatosurgery, trying to blend science with precision to get results that patients can actually see and feel in their daily life. Sometimes it’s about treating chronic acne or pigmentation, other times it is procedures like scar revisions or anti aging treatments. Each case demand its own plan, and I like spending time to explain options clearly. Dermatology is one field where technology change very fast, and I try to keep pace by training with new techniques and devices. Laser procedures for pigmentation, hair removal or vascular lesions are now common, but outcome depend not only on machine but also on correct assessment, and I learned that the hard way in early practice. Injectables like Botox and fillers require balance—too little and patient feel no change, too much and it looks unnatural, so my focus is on subtle results. Dermatosurgery give me the chance to handle more medical side—biopsies, excisions, mole removals—where accuracy and safety are critical. Alongside clinical work, I have contributed research papers published in reputed international journals. Writing them was not easy, many drafts got rejected, but finally seeing the work in print gave me confidence that I am adding something to the academic side of dermatology too. Research also keeps me updated and sometimes push me to question daily routines. My approach with patients is simple: listen first, then decide together. Skin problems are visible, often affecting confidence and social life, so treatment is not just physical but also psychological. I try to create a space where patients feel comfortable discussing even sensitive concerns without hesitation. At the end, what drives me is the mix of science and art in dermatology—every patient is a new canvas, every solution a balance of medical knowledge and patient trust.

I am currently in my final year postgraduate training in MS Obstetrics and Gynecology, and this journey so far has been layered with many different kinds of experiences. My early foundation was during internship at Narayana Medical College & Hospitals, Nellore (March 2020 to March 2021). That one year was intense—handling patients in wards, assisting in emergency cases, learning how every decision no matter small has impact. Right after that I worked as a government doctor under 104 service at Palamaner, Chittoor district. It was different from medical college, resources limited, patients coming from rural backgrounds, but it taught me value of listening carefully and working with what is available. Later I also worked as online consultant with Letsdoc, where consultations were virtual. At first I doubted if online could actually work, but it showed me how important accessibility is, especially for patients who hesitate to visit hospitals or live too far. It also trained me to be precise and clear with words, since physical exam was not always possible. For the last 3 years I have been a junior resident in OBGYN, gaining real depth in managing both obstetric and gynecological cases. From antenatal checkups to managing high risk pregnancies, from normal deliveries to cesareans, I got exposure to a wide range. I also assisted and performed in gynecological surgeries and handled emergencies that arrive suddenly, like ectopic pregnancy or postpartum hemorrhage. These experiences shaped my confidence and also taught me that calmness in those moments is as important as knowledge. Now as I near the completion of my MS, I carry forward learning from each stage. My focus is not just on clinical management but also patient communication, cause women often need reassurance as much as medical treatment. Each posting and role has made me adapt, whether in rural setting, online platform, or tertiary hospital, and all together they define the doctor I am becoming.

I am an orthopedic surgeon working across multiple subspecialties, each one shaping the way I see patient care. My main focus is joint replacement surgery, where I help patients with advanced arthritis or trauma regain mobility with knee, hip or shoulder replacement. Every case feels different, sometimes straightforward, sometimes technically demanding, but seeing someone walk again without pain is a satisfaction hard to explain. Along with this I practice arthroscopic surgery—handling sports injuries, ligament tears, meniscus problems—using minimally invasive methods that allow quicker recovery. Trauma surgery is another major part of my work. Road traffic accidents, fractures, complex injuries, all of them require timely decision making. In trauma wards, speed and accuracy decide outcome, and I learned that teamwork with anesthetists and nurses matter as much as surgical skill. I am also trained in Ilizarov surgery, a technique for limb lengthening, deformity correction, and treating non-union fractures. It’s a demanding method, takes patience from both surgeon and patient, but when successful it change life for people who had given up on walking properly. My practice also touch rheumatology and sports medicine. Many patients with chronic pain come with rheumatoid arthritis, lupus or other autoimmune issues, and here I focus on medical management, rehabilitation and long term care. Sports medicine is growing fast—athletes, young adults, even school students presenting with overuse injuries, ligament sprains, shoulder dislocations. Treating them is not just about surgery, but guiding rehab, strengthening and safe return to activity. I try to keep a patient centered approach, explaining options, risks and outcomes clearly. Surgery is one part of treatment, but recovery, counseling and follow up are equally important. Sometimes patients are scared, sometimes they are impatient, and part of my role is to balance hope with realistic expectations. For me orthopedics is not just about fixing bones, it is about restoring confidence and independence in daily life

I am a consultant obstetrician and gynaecologist with additional fellowship training in reproductive medicine, which has given me chance to combine routine women’s health care with advanced fertility support. My daily practice move between antenatal care, deliveries, gyneac surgeries, menstrual and hormonal issues, and couples who are struggling with infertility. Some days are smooth, others are full of unexpected turns—high risk pregnancies, emergency cesareans, complicated ovarian cysts—but that’s what keep the work real. Doing fellowship in reproductive medicine help me to focus more on patients with PCOS, recurrent miscarriages, low ovarian reserve or unexplained infertility. Managing these cases is not only about protocols like IVF, IUI or ovulation induction, it also require time, listening, empathy and patience, since the emotional side of fertility treatment can be heavier than the medical part. I try to make sure patients understand each step, the risks, the success rates, and also alternative choices, rather than rushing into a single path. As a gynecologist I also treat wide range of conditions—fibroids, endometriosis, abnormal bleeding, pelvic infections, menopausal concerns. Surgeries like hysteroscopy and laparoscopy are part of my skill set, and I rely on minimally invasive methods whenever possible to reduce recovery time. Obstetrics remain close to my heart too, monitoring mothers through pregnancy, preventing complications, and supporting safe delivery. Each new birth remind me why this profession matters. I see myself not only as a specialist but also as a partner in a patient’s health journey. Sometimes that means giving reassurance more than medicine, other times making difficult decision fast in labor room. For me, women’s health care is about balance between evidence based medicine and humane understanding. At the end, whether it is fertility or pregnancy or surgery, my goal is to help women feel supported, safe and informed in every stage of life.

I am working from last 2 yrs in diff areas of medical care, mainly emergency dept, OPD services and also in-patient ward care. In emergency shifts I learned how to handle sudden and critical cases, from trauma to cardiac events, sometimes late night duty with multiple patients at once, it taught me to act fast but also think clear. In OPD my focus is more on long term disease management, common complaints like fever, gastric issues, hypertension or diabetes follow ups. With in-patients I get to follow the whole process, from diagnosis to monitoring and discharge planning, which makes me see the bigger picture of treatment. I also take care of pedia patients, not only routine complaints like cold cough fever but also acute conditions that need immediate attention. Managing children is always bit challenging since they cant always explain properly, but I try to listen to parents carefully and make the child comfortable before proceeding with any treatment. I believe communication with family is as important as prescription. My practice style is patient centered, I try to blend clinical protocols with simple explanations so patients understand what is happening with their health. Sometimes I may spend extra time in opd clarifying doubts, other times in emergency its about making fast decision to stabilize. I keep updating my knowledge from guidelines and senior mentors. This 2 yrs of diverse work gave me confidence to handle wide range of cases independently, and also made me realise medicine is not only science but also about trust and empathy.
