Our Verified Medical Experts — page 26

I am a qualified medical doctor with MBBS and DNB Diploma in Family Medicine from NBEMS, and my work has always been centered on treating patients in a complete, not just symptom based way. During my DNB training I rotated through almost every core department—Internal medicine, Pediatrics, Obstetrics & Gynecology, Surgery, Orthopedics, ENT, Dermatology, Psychiatry, Emergency medicine. That mix gave me the skill to manage acute illness, long term disease and preventive care together, something I find very important in family practice. In psychiatry I worked closely with patients who struggled with depression, anxiety, stress related problems, insomnia or substance use. I learned not just about medication but also about simple psychotherapy tools, psycho education and how to talk openly without judgement. I still use that exp in family medicine, specially when chronic disease patients also face mental health issues. My time in General surgery included assisting in minor and major procedures, managing wounds, abscess, sutures and emergencies. While I am not a surgeon, this gave me confidence to recognize surgical cases early, provide first line care and refer fast when needed, which makes a big difference in online or OPD settings. Now I work as a consultant in General medicine and Family practice, with focus on both in-person and online consultation. I treat conditions like fever, infections, gastrointestinal complaints, respiratory illness, and also manage diabetes, hypertension, thyroid disorders, and lifestyle related chronic diseases. I see women for PCOS, contraception counseling, menstrual health, and children for common pediatric issues. I also dedicate time to preventive health, lifestyle counseling and diet-sleep-exercise advice, since these small changes affect long term wellness more than we often realize. My key skills include holistic diagnosis, evidence based treatment, chronic disease management, mental health support, preventive medicine and telemedicine communiation. At the center of all this is one thing—patients should feel heard, safe, and guided with care that is both professional and personal.

I am Dr. Bibin Baby, working as an ENT specialist with special focus on vestibular assessment and balance disorders. My journey in otorhinolaryngology started at the Govt Medical College, Kozhikode, where I trained in depth on a wide range of ENT conditions and lifesaving procedures. Over the years I have handled patients of all age groups, but I carry a special interest in pediatric ENT and in vestibular care where dizziness, vertigo and balance issues often disrupt everyday life more than people realise. During my practice I gained solid hands-on experience in procedures like tracheostomy during airway emergencies, micro ear surgeries such as tympanoplasty, myringoplasty, myringotomy, and cortical mastoidectomy. I also routinely manage microlaryngeal surgeries including vocal cord polyp excision, helping patients regain their voice and confidence. My work in rhinology includes septoplasty, functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS), and submucous resection for nasal obstructions or chronic sinus problems. On the diagnostic side I am well trained in techniques like diagnostic nasal endoscopy, otoendoscopy, videolaryngoscopy, stroboscopy and flexible laryngoscopy, which allow me to accurately evaluate and plan treatment. I also integrate vertigo and migraine management into my ENT practice, dealing with both pediatric and adult cases, since balance disorders often overlap with neurological symptoms and require careful evaluation. What keeps me engaged in this field is the mix of precision, quick decision making, and long-term care. ENT problems can be sudden and life threatening, like airway block, or slow and chronic, like sinusitis or ear disease. My approach is to provide thorough evaluation, clear communication, and evidence-based treatment tailored for each patient. For me, ENT practice is not only about treating illness but also restoring quality of life—whether it’s helping a child hear better, relieving someone’s long-standing vertigo, or making breathing easier for a patient who struggled for years.

I am Dr. Meena Choudhary, a pediatrician with MBBS, a PG Diploma in Child Health and another in Child Psychology, working in this field since 2017. Over the years I got chance to handle all kinds of pediatric OPD cases, from the most routine coughs, colds to critical emergencies where timely decisions matter. That mix of experience made me more grounded and practical in dealing with children and their families, not just treating illness but supporting their growth and long-term well being. During my practice I learnt that child health isn’t only about physical growth or vaccination schedules, it’s also about behaviour, emotions, how they develop at school age, how parents cope. That’s why I combined child health with psychology – to give complete, family-centered care. I keep a strong focus on monitoring growth, development and nutrition, while also guiding families through preventive health checks, vaccination plans and day-to-day doubts about milestones. Parents often seek second opinions when worried about subtle issues, and I try to explain in simple words what’s going on, helping them feel more confident. My training in child psychology helps me address problems like behavioural changes, sleep disturbances, stress or anxiety in children. I also spend time on parent counseling and health education because I feel one well-informed family can prevent many health issues before they grow. Whether it’s counselling for picky eating, screen-time, or handling temper tantrums, I try to offer both medical guidance and psychological support in a balanced way. In my 7+ years of practice, I learnt the value of preventive medicine – regular checkups, health education, lifestyle advice – along with being prepared for emergencies. Every consultation for me is not just about diagnosis, but about building trust with the child and the family. My approach is evidence-based yet compassionate, making sure treatment plans are safe, effective and tailored for each child’s needs. At the end, I see myself as a partner to parents in raising healthier, happier children, guiding them through every stage with a mix of clinical care and emotional understanding.

I am a dental specialist and over time I learnt that dentistry is not just about treating teeth but about restoring confidence, relieving pain, and helping people live healthier lives. My practice includes a wide range of dental care from preventive checkups, scaling and polishing, fillings, root canal treatment, crowns, bridges, extractions, and prosthetic work to cosmetic dentistry like smile design. I also manage gum related problems and oral health counseling, making sure patients understand how small changes in daily habits can bring big impact. Working in both outpatient and chairside settings gave me a clear view of how differently every patient approaches dental problems. Some come with fear, some with frustration, others with long delayed pain. I try to address all that by giving time, listening carefully, and then creating a treatment plan that fits their specific needs. I believe in evidence based practice but also in empathy, because oral health issues often affect more than just eating or speaking, they touch self esteem and comfort in daily life. My work also extends into advanced dental care including orthodontic aligners for correction and smile enhancement, and I combine clinical accuracy with aesthetic consideration. Alongside, I trained myself in facial aesthetic procedures like Botox and dermal fillers, which complement dentistry by improving facial harmony and confidence. This blend of skills allows me to provide a more comprehensive approach where oral health and facial appearance meet. Preventive dentistry is an area I emphasize strongly—guiding patients on proper brushing, nutrition, and lifestyle changes to reduce risk of decay, gum disease, or long term complications. I also value patient education as a key tool, because when people understand the “why” behind treatment, they are more motivated to maintain results. At the core, my goal as a dental specialist is to provide safe, reliable, and compassionate care that adapts to each person’s unique needs while focusing on long term oral wellness and overall quality of life.

I am working in medical field for about 2 yrs now and those two years taught me things that can’t always be learnt from textbooks alone. In this time I have handled patients in OPD, inpatient wards, emergencies too, and each setting demanded a diff kind of focus. Some days were about long followups and careful adjustments in treatment, other days were about quick decision making when every minute counted. I tried to balance both, learning how to listen patiently but also act fast when situation needed. My experience in these 2 yrs gave me exposure to varied cases—common fevers, respiratory issues, metabolic disorders, trauma cases, and post op care. I realized early that no patient is the same, even if diagnosis is. One person might need reassurance more than medicine, another may need strong intervention before things spiral. I learnt to adapt, to explain, and to work closely with seniors and team members to make sure patients got complete care. I keep focus on evidence based practice but also on practical solutions that suit the patient’s lifestyle, because long term outcomes depend on how realistic the plan is. Preventive health, patient education and regular followups became a big part of my routine. I also worked with children and elderly patients, both groups requiring extra patience and communication skills. Looking back, these 2 yrs may sound short but they laid the foundation for how I approach medicine now—structured yet flexible, professional but also personal when needed. My aim going forward is to keep improving both my knowledge and my ability to connect with patients, since real care means understanding the person as much as the disease.

I am a dental surgeon with broad based clinical experience, working across different branches of dentistry where each patient teached me something new. Over these years I handled minor oral surgeries, orthodontic cases, conservative & endodontic treatments, and also aesthetic dental work. My daily practice involve not just the technical side of cutting, filling, or shaping teeth, but also the small details of patient comfort, clear communication, and making treatment plans that fit into their life. In oral surgery I worked on surgical extractions, incision & drainage, biopsy, and removal of impacted tooth, always keeping aseptic steps in mind even when cases were complicated or patients were anxious. Orthodontics gave me exposure to both fixed and removable appliances, and here I realised how much a smile change can impact confidence, not only function. In conservative and endodontics, I managed restorations, root canal therapies, retreatments of failed cases, and periapical issues—where patience and precision are everything. Sometimes a single millimeter mistake could change outcome, so I learnt to slow down, double check even when time was pressing. Aesthetic dentistry became another area of focus, where I performed smile design, veneers, bleaching and other cosmetic procedures, but always balanced beauty with health and long term prognosis. I also keep myself updated with new materials and newer techniques, as dentistry is changing faster than many realise. What ties all this together is my patient centric approach. I like to spend time explaining why a procedure is necessary, what options exist, and how they may affect future oral health. My training and work experience gave me solid clinical judgement and teamwork skills, whether in OPD, operation theatre, or multi disciplinary setups. It is not always perfect, sometimes treatment doesn’t move in straight line, sometimes healing take longer, but each case adds to my learning curve. With this multifaceted exposure I feel confident that I can adapt well and deliver safe, effective, evidence based dental care in any clinical setting.

I am working in the medical field from last 9 years, and during this time I had chance to see and manage wide variety of cases, some routine, some very challenging. Each year added new experiance, not only in terms of clinical skill but also in understanding people, their concerns, and the importance of building trust. My practice over these years stretched across OPD consultations, in-patient care, emergencies and follow ups, which gave me a very balanced exposure. In early part of my journey I focused more on learning and building foundation, observing seniors and applying protocols carefully. Slowly I started handling more responsibility, managing patients independently, planning treatments and dealing with unexpected complications when they arise. Those moments, though stressful, teached me resilience and patience. Over 9 years, I have developed confidence in making quick yet safe clinical decisions, whether in emergency setting or regular patient care. I also learnt that medicine is not only about prescribing or procedure but about listening, explaining in simple words and making sure patient and family feel supported. My experiance also pushed me to keep learning, updating with latest guidelines and evidence based practices. Today, I bring this combined knowledge of 9 years to my work every day, balancing technical skills with empathy. While I still see myself learning continuously, I feel these years shaped me into a doctor who can adapt, manage complex scenarios, and deliver care with professionalism but also human touch.

I am working as dental specialist with focus in prosthodontics, where my main area is restoring function and esthetics for patients who lost teeth or dealing with damaged dentition. Over the years I learnt to manage wide range of cases starting from complete dentures that help edentulous patients regain chewing and speech, to removable partial dentures where precision and comfort both matter a lot. I do fixed prosthetics too, like single crowns and multi unit bridges, making sure they fit naturally with bite and smile. Implant prosthetics is also part of my daily practise, planning and placing restorations over implants to give long term stability and more natural feel for patients who want fixed solutions. I also focus on full mouth rehabilitation, which is often complex as it involve rebuilding occlusion, esthetics and function together. Sometimes it’s multiple crowns, sometimes implants combined with bridges or dentures, but always requires careful planning and patient communication. I like to explain each step in simple words so patient feels part of decision. My approach is patient centered, using evidence based techniques, but also flexible depending on their comfort and affordability. Beyond the technical part I see prosthodontics as restoring confidence, not just teeth. Every smile rebuilt means some part of person’s social or emotional life is improved. That thought keeps me motivated even when work is long and detailed. I keep updating myself with new materials and digital dentistry methods but also stick to the basics I learnt through rigorous training—accuracy in impression, proper jaw relation, and balanced occlusion. With this experience I aim to provide reliable, personalized dental care, whether its a single missing tooth or complete rehabilitation. I believe dentistry is not just procedure, it is continuity of care, empathy and small details that together make a big difference for patients.

I am Dr Samad, working as consultant dermatologist from north karnataka, where most of my practise is shaped by daily interaction with wide variety of patients. Over the years I got good exposure in pediatric dermatology, clinical dermatology, trichology and also cosmetology, each one different but connected. I like to approach skin as not just an organ with disease but as a mirror of overall health, so my consultations often extend into discussions about habits, stress, lifestyle too. With kids especially, pediatric dermatology needs patience and gentle handling, and I learned to balance clinical precision with empathy while treating conditions like eczema, infections, birth marks and allergies. In clinical dermatology, I work with common and complex cases, from acne and psoriasis to chronic skin conditions, focusing on both symptom relief and long term management. Trichology forms another important part of my specialization—hair fall, scalp disorders, alopecia are things I regularly diagnose and treat, sometimes combining medical therapy with supportive care. Cosmetology allows me to merge science and aesthetics, offering treatments that not only correct issues but also improve confidence, like skin rejuvenation, pigmentation care and scar treatments. My practice approach is simple, evidence based medicine delivered with clear communication. I make it a point to explain treatment plans in understandable words, sometimes with small drawings or analogies, because when patients really understand their problem they feel more at ease and follow better. I try to keep my consultations personal, where people feel free to ask questions without hesitation. Over time I realized that dermatology is not only about curing skin, hair or cosmetic concern but about building trust, offering support and guiding people toward healthier choices. Even now I keep learning, attending training, updating knowledge, because dermatology is evolving fast with new therapies and technologies. What keeps me going is seeing that smile or relief in a patient when they notice genuine improvement—it makes all the effort worth it, and reminds me why I chose this path.
