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.

I am working in pediatrics for last 2 yrs and in that time I have moved from being a junior resident to also practising as a pediatrician, which gave me a mix of experiences you don’t really prepare for in books. Some days are quiet, just growth monitoring, vaccination schedules, talking parents through nutrition doubts, but then you get thrown into nights with emergency admissions where every small call feel heavy. That mix of preventive care and acute management sort of shape how I look at kids health. During residency I was incharge of both OPD and IPD cases, handling routine fevers and infections like pneumonia, bronchiolitis or gastroenteritis, and also seeing chronic conditions where follow up and family support matter more than just one prescription. I worked in NICU and PICU too, where critically ill babies needed ventilation, close monitoring and constant adjustment of care. Doing procedures like intubation, lumbar puncture, umbilical cath insertion, even exchange transfusions, was a routine part of my duty… though no case ever felt routine when it’s such tiny fragile life in front of you. Apart from clinical work I stayed active in academics, bedside discussions, case presentations, guiding juniors when possible. Being in multi disciplinary rounds with pediatric cardiology, neurology, neonatology etc taught me how much collaborative medicine changes outcomes. And through all of it, I try to keep families involved, breaking down treatment plans in simple words, making sure they feel part of decisions. These 2 yrs taught me not only science but also that softer side of pediatrics—how to calm an anxious parent, how to make a child smile in between IV lines, how to carry on even when outcomes are uncertain. It’s not always neat or predictable, but in that mess I learnt most of what makes me the doctor I am. I keep aiming to deliver evidence based care while staying empathetic, accessible and grounded, because kids deserve both science and kindness at the same time.

I am a dental practioner who started my journy at Vijaya Hospital Dental wing in Vadapalani, Chennai from 2007 to 2009, where I got my first exposure to handling a wide variety of opd and inpatient dental cases. Those years shaped my base, working under senior consultants and learning how small details in diagnosis and planning can affect long term outcomes. From 2010 to 2014 I worked at Varun Dental Centre, ECR, Chennai, and that phase gave me more independence, from treating routine restorative and preventive cases to assisting in prosthodontics and oral surgical procedures. It was also where I got deeper into patient counselling, explaing treatment plans and balancing clinical precision with patient comfort. In 2018 I started my own practice – TAV Speciality Clinic – and running it till today has been both challenging and rewarding. Having my own setup allowed me to provide more personalized care, whether it is restorative, endodontic, prosthetic or aesthetic procedures. Managing everything from treatment execution to practice administration showed me the full scope of dental care beyond just the chairside work. I handle patients with diverse needs, from single crown or bridges to complex full mouth rehabilitation, and I keep preventive dentistry at the center of my practise, motivating patients on oral hygiene and long term maintenance. These years across hospitals, centers, and my clinic taught me how dentistry is never just about fixing teeth but about improving quality of life, reducing anxiety, and helping people regain confidence in their smile. I try to keep my approach practical and patient focused, using evidence based methods but also staying empathetic to the human side of treatment. Mistakes, delays, unexpected outcomes – they happen in real practice – and through them I learnt patience, adaptability and the importance of clear communication. My goal remains the same everyday: to provide care that is safe, effective and meaningful for every patient who walks into my clinic.

I am a doctor with MBBS and MD in Medicine, and over the years my work has focused on managing a broad range of cases across neurology, nephrology, cardiology and hematology. My practise is split between OPD patients, where I see everything from routine check ups to long term disease management, and IPD care, where the challenges are often acute, serious and need quick decisions. That mix of both outpatient and inpatient care has shaped me into someone who pays equal attention to small clinical details and big-picture treatment plans. In neurology I often deal with stroke care, seizures, neuropathies and other conditions that require careful monitoring and follow up. In nephrology, my focus include renal failure, electrolyte imbalance and dialysis related management, areas where timely intervention really matter. Cardiology forms another big part of my daily work, ranging from hypertension, ischemic heart disease, heart failure to emergency cardiac care. Hematology too holds a major place in my practise, where I handle anemia, clotting disorders and other blood-related conditions. Each specialty demands different skills, but together they make me look at patients more holistically, rather than as isolated systems. During hospital duties I have learned that managing IPD patients requires not just medical accuracy but also patience and strong communication with families who are often under stress. In OPD, the role shifts more toward preventive medicine, lifestyle guidance and long-term management of chronic illnesses, where building trust with patients makes a huge difference in outcomes. Sometimes it is about stabilizing a patient in ICU, sometimes it is about explaining why a small change in diet or medicine is enough—both are important and both are part of my work. I keep my approach evidence based but also practical, tailoring treatments to individual needs rather than a rigid formula. Over time, I’ve come to see medicine not only as science but also as continous learning from every patient, every case, every mistake even. That is what keeps me grounded and motivates me to provide safe, compassionate and effective care each day.

I am working in clinical medicine for 5 yrs now and in that time I got to see how wide and complex patient care can be. Some days I sit in OPD guiding people through long standing problems like hypertension, diabetes or thyroid issues, other days I am at bedside managing sudden emergencies that demand quick action and clear thinking. That mix of routine and critical work is what shaped me most as a doctor. In wards I manage both acute cases and chronic follow ups, which means dealing with infections, respiratory illness, cardiovascular conditions, renal disorders and a whole range of general medicine problems. Many times its about balancing immediate stabilization with planning long term care that families can realistically follow. I also pay a lot of attention to preventive care, because small changes in lifestyle, diet, and medication compliance can make huge difference to outcomes. Working in hospitals gave me plenty of chances to coordinate with specialists too—cardiologists, neurologists, nephrologists—because medicine today is never a one person job. I find that teamwork and proper communication across departments makes patient journey smoother. At the same time I try to explain diagnosis and treatment plans in simple terms, so patients dont feel lost in medical jargon. Over these 5 yrs I learnt that medicine is not just prescribing tablets or writing reports, it is about listening carefully, sometimes rethinking decisions, and being ready to adapt when things dont go as planned. It taught me patience and humility along with clinical judgement. I still keep updating my knowledge, reading new guidelines, attending discussions, because this field keeps moving and patients deserve the most current evidence based care. Every consultation, whether it is a small opd case or a critically ill admission, I try to see it as an opportunity to combine science with empathy. That balance is not always perfect, but it is what keeps me grounded and makes me continue in clinical practise with dedication.

I am working in clinical field for 8 years now, and honestly those years feel like they shaped not just my skills but also the way I look at medicine as whole. When I first started, it was more about protocols, following guidelines step by step, but over time I learnt how much every patient story is different. Some days are straight forward—routine opd checks, follow ups, chronic conditions where you adjust medication and reassure families. Other days can be heavy, with emergencies in IPD that test your judgement and patience in ways books never prepare you for. In these 8 yrs I have handled wide range of medical cases, from infectious diseases to long term chronic issues like hypertension, diabetes or cardiac problems. The balance between preventive and curative medicine is something I consciously try to keep, because I know early intervention often saves bigger complications later. I focus on evidence based care, but I also make sure to explain things in simple language, since patients need to understand their condition not just follow orders blindly. Working across opd and inpatient care gave me comfort with both small day to day issues and high pressure situations. I am used to coordinating with labs, radiology, and sub specialties whenever needed, because medicine rarely works in isolation. Over the years I also got more involved in counseling, nutrition advice, and lifestyle changes, since health isn’t only about tablets and injections. Procedures, emergencies, late night calls—they are part of the flow now, and while stressful, they taught me resilience and the need to stay calm when others around you are anxious. If I think back, these 8 years weren’t always neat, sometimes outcomes weren’t what we hoped, and mistakes made me question myself. But that’s where I grew most, learning to adapt, refine, and be honest with patients. My approach today is patient centric, holistic, and practical. I want people to feel they are heard, cared for, and safe, whether they come with a minor issue or something life threatening. And that balance is what keeps me committed to this work everyday.
