I am Dr. Avantika Tiwari and honestly—working with kids is something I didn’t just choose, it kinda chose me. I'm a Pediatric Surgeon with a little over 7 years of hands-on experience dealing with everything from newborn emergencies to complex surgeries in adolescents. Whether it's neonatal surgeries, hernias, undescended testes, or even something more rare, I focus on making sure the treatment isn’t just effective—but also gentle, thoughtful, & right for the child and family. I really try to listen—like really listen—to what parents are scared about, what confuses them, and even what the kid isn't saying. That’s where care starts, isn’t it? I don’t rush consults and I try my best to talk to kids at their level—sometimes it’s a stuffed toy in one hand, sometimes a story. Whatever makes it feel less scary. Clinical work is one part of it. I do stay pretty updated with the latest in pediatric surgical care... I’m always reading or attending something—can't afford not to, right? I mean, families deserve the best possible surgical techniques and safer outcomes. From minimally invasive procedures to post-op pain control, I try to bring in whatever is most current and evidence-backed into my practice. Peers and teams I work with often say they like how I bring people together—nurses, anesthetists, fellow docs, parents. I guess I just think healing needs everyone to pull in the same direction. And yeah, leadership comes into play there, but more importantly it’s about building trust and respect across the board. Some days are tough—kids in pain, anxious parents, decisions that can’t be delayed. But even then I try to stay calm, explain clearly, and move quick when it matters. The weight of it is real, but so is the joy when a child heals and smiles again. That’s the part that stays with you. I’m always open to second opinions, follow-ups, weird questions—nothing’s too small or silly when it comes to your kid.

I am Dr. Surbhi Agrawal, a consultant physician & diabetologist, and yeah—it’s kinda hard to sum up everything in one go, but here’s where I’ll start. I work out of Newlife Hospital in Nagpur right now, and most of my time goes into caring for patients both in-person and online (which honestly has its own rhythm). I try to keep my consultations rooted in science but also real-life practical. Everyone’s got different bodies, lifestyles, worries—your treatment should reflect that, not be copy-pasted. My key focus is diabetes care—managing sugars, guiding on insulin or meds, helping people understand their bodies better. But it doesn’t stop there. I deal a lot with obesity, hormonal things like thyroid problems, infections (including COVID-related ones), plus skin and hair concerns that sneak into the picture more often than you’d think. I’ve also worked quite a bit around allergies, nutrition imbalances, and issues around sexual wellness which patients usually hesitate to talk about, but shouldn’t have to. I’ve always felt like just giving prescriptions isn’t enough—sometimes you gotta talk it out, decode the symptoms behind the silence. That’s where I try to lean in with my patients. Listen more, speak clearly, and not throw complicated jargon unless I need to (and when I do, I break it down). Whether you're dealing with a long-term condition or something that cropped up suddenly, I want you to feel like there’s space to ask and be heard. I stay updated—digging through research, listening to patient stories, and adapting. There’s new stuff all the time, especially in areas like endocrinology and internal medicine. But to me, empathy’s still the thing that holds it all together. If you’re struggling with symptoms or just confused about what’s going on with your health—reach out. I’m here for support, science & solutions... in whatever mix that works for you.

I am a practicing physician with more than 35 years in clinical medicine, though honestly sometimes it still feels like I just started. I graduated from Lady Hardinge Medical College back in 1986—those early years, especially at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, kind of shaped everything that came after. Since 1990, I’ve been running my own private setup, and I’ve seen thousands of patients across all age groups and conditions... but the one thing I keep circling back to is preventive health. It’s where change really begins. Over the past 15-ish years, my focus has been shifting more and more toward lifestyle medicine—especially around weight management and chronic disease reversal. Not everyone believes that diabetes or hypertension can improve without increasing meds, but I’ve seen real outcomes using therapeutic weight loss, dietary shifts, behavior tweaks... all rooted in clinical logic, not hype. I took formal training in this area too—wanted to go beyond just theory and actually offer patients plans that work. I’m currently attached to multiple clinics and nursing homes across Delhi and Gurgaon. My style’s pretty hands-on—I like to sit with people, understand what they’re really going through, and help them find small steps that feel doable. No crash diets or overnight promises. If you’ve tried and failed before, I totally get it. We start again. Teaching is something I also enjoy—currently visiting faculty at Baba Farid University of Health Sciences where I talk to students about integrating wellness with clinical science. It’s interesting how younger minds bring fresh questions. Oh and I wrote a book—The Ultimate Weight Loss Formula—it’s not a self-help fluff piece but more a tool-kit kind of thing, drawn straight from cases I’ve worked on. To me, health isn’t just about avoiding illness—it’s about building the kind of energy and balance that lets you live fully. Whether you're looking to reverse diabetes, lose weight sustainably, or just feel better overall, I’m here to help you take back control without judgment or gimmicks. Just real support, real goals, and real change.

I am Dr. Prem Daisy and yeah, I’m one of those docs who’s always had this mixed love for both internal health and outer wellness. I’m a General Physician by training (MD), but also did a Fellowship in Aesthetic Medicine—because honestly? I couldn’t ignore how much our self-image ties into overall health. I work at this sort of crossroad where medicine meets aesthetics, and weirdly enough, it feels really natural to me. What I do most is help folks with their skin, hair, and overall wellness using a pretty wide mix of things—clinical know-how, lab markers, lifestyle bits, plus newer tech-driven treatments that actually have backing. If it’s something like pigmentation, dull skin, hair thinning, tiredness or hormonal imbalances... I kinda try to look at it from both sides. What's underneath and what’s showing up on the surface. Sometimes, ppl think they need a facial filler or peel—but turns out they also haven’t been sleeping right or their thyroid’s off. I mean, the body speaks in layers, right? Every care plan I make is custom (like really, not the marketing type), ‘cause no one responds to things the same. And I’m big on patient education too—not just handing out treatments, but explaining why something’s right or not. It makes people feel more in control of their journey, and I like that. I keep learning constantly—webinars, journals, tiny masterclasses in between my cases—partly 'cause I don’t want to fall behind and also 'cause aesthetics changes fast, like really fast. But I don’t just jump on trends unless they work, are safe, and actually match someone’s goals. At the end, I guess my main goal is just this: make people feel more at home in their own skin, literally and otherwise. Whether it’s managing your cholesterol or helping you deal with post-acne scars or finding your energy back—I try to give care that’s grounded, not glam for the sake of it. And yeah... I do all this while keeping the vibe in my clinic open, easy, not intimidating. That matters too.

I am a dermatologist who kinda found my space right at the edge where medicine meets aesthetics. I got deep into cosmetic dermatology and dermatosurgery early on—partly because I liked the blend of precision and creativity, partly coz I wanted patients to feel seen, not just treated. I work with all sorts of devices, lasers, blades—name it—and every single time, I make sure what I do actually makes sense for the patient, both medically and visually. Skin, scars, pigment, texture—those tiny details matter more than people realize. In clinical work, I’ve handled everything from acne scars to pigmentation issues and done tons of minor surgical procedures. Sometimes it’s a chemical peel, other times I’m revising an old scar or doing a punch excision that looks simple but means the world to that person. I don’t rush anything. Like, a 10-minute procedure might take me 20, but that extra time usually saves a lot of worry later. Honestly, patients just want to know you care, that you’re not just ticking boxes. I try to be that doc who listens properly and breaks things down w/o the jargon. People tell me I come off friendly n easy to talk to, which I like hearing 'cause it means they feel safe. And safety—that’s non-negotiable. If something feels off, I won’t go ahead until we're sure it’s right. And yeah, time management is a thing I do take pride in. Even on days when the OPD is overflowing or three laser cases run back to back, I try not to let that affect how I deal with each person. I keep things organised (tho my desktop’s a mess sometimes, lol), make sure follow-ups are tracked, and everyone knows where their treatment is headed. One more thing—I genuinely enjoy working in teams. Dermatology isn’t solo work. There’s nurses, assistants, sometimes even a plastic surgeon or endocrinologist in the loop. Staying in sync, updating each other, adapting quickly—that makes the care consistent. Whether it's planning a cosmetic tweak or clearing up a stubborn rash, I aim to do it with balance—between empathy, expertise and honestly, a bit of gut instinct too.

I am a Child Specialist with around 8 years of workin’ in the field of Pediatrics—though honestly, some days it feels like 20 with all the kids I’ve seen. My focus is on offering complete medical care for infants, toddlers, school-going kids and even those tricky teenage years when things get unpredictable and, well, loud. Whether it's treating those scary fevers or helping a worried parent make sense of a growth delay, I try to keep things clear, calm and centered around the child. I work a lot with congenital conditions and developmental issues too. Some cases are complicated and slow to respond, but seeing even small improvements—like when a kid who wouldn’t eat starts smiling at their meals—makes all the late nights feel kinda worth it. I’ve managed all sorts of acute and chronic conditions in kids—chest infections, allergies, nutrition troubles, even things like behavioral changes that come with big transitions or school stress. Sometimes its about a medicine, sometimes it's just about listening properly to both the kid and the parent. Over time, I’ve come to believe pediatric care isn’t just about giving medicine and calling it a day... It's about explaining things in a way that helps families feel in control and less overwhelmed. I also spend a lot of time helping parents understand nutrition, immunization timelines, and how to track milestones without panicking every second week!! Sometimes I feel like half my job is decoding Google searches for worried moms. I try to mix empathy with science—I mean, yes I keep up with medical protocols, but I also know how to hold a crying baby and calm down a 3-year-old throwing a tantrum in the waiting room. It’s a mix of skills, really. At the end of the day, I just want to keep making sure kids get better, parents feel seen, and care feels human—not rushed or robotic.

I am someone who's sorta grown into emergency medicine through a mix of intense training, sharp turns, and long nights that just don’t let up. I did my MBBS from SN Medical College, which gave me the base, but things really picked up during my DNB in Emergency Medicine at RTIICS, Kolkata—those years? hectic. You don't forget the pressure of working through back-to-back codes or handling trauma cases that change within seconds. Later, at AIIMS Delhi, during my senior residency, I got to see how clinical decision-making works in high-stakes, real-time setups. I had to push myself—mentally, technically, even emotionally. AIIMS was hard, but it kinda redefined how I approach chaos... you know, how to be calm when nothing else is. Right now, I’m working as a Consultant & Asst. Professor at Kiran Hospital and Medical College. Which is weirdly satisfying, coz I get to flip between clinical practice and teaching. Like one hour I’m in resus managing a poisoned patient, next I’m guiding a batch of med students through triage protocols. It’s demanding, but it keeps me sharp. I try not to get stuck in patterns—I mean emergency medicine is always shifting. I stay updated with new guidelines, courses, journals—some of it sticks, some doesn’t haha. But that’s how you keep growing. My thing is blending strong protocols with some human stuff—listening better, watching closer, explaining things in a way people can actually get. And yeah, mentoring’s important to me. Watching younger docs or interns go from nervous to confident... feels good. I’m all for building that bridge between practice and teaching, science and instinct. Maybe I don’t always get it right—but I care, a lot. That counts right?

I am an orthopedic specialist working close to 3 years now, mostly around trauma, arthritis and yeah a whole lotta joint pain cases. I see everything from broken bones and muscle tears to that slow, nagging kind of pain that just keeps dragging on because of arthritis. Some days are just emergency fractures, and other times it’s more chronic stuff like osteoarthritis or rheumatoid issues that need longer-term planning. My training really helped me build up solid hands-on experiance in trauma management—like handling fresh fractures, dislocations and even post-op rehab follow-ups. I also kinda enjoy figuring out the complex arthritis ones, like when meds don’t work fully and we’ve to plan something more structured, sometimes even surgery. Honestly, working through those challenges to get a patient walking better or sleeping pain-free again... that makes it all feel worth it. I'm big on evidence-based treatment, not just going through-the-motions kind of approach. I try to see what the patient actually needs—sometimes it's rest and physio, other times it's a minor procedure or even surgery, but the point is every plan I make is kinda tailored. I talk things through, I explain things as simple as I can (ok not always perfect lol) but I try. Because people deserve to know what’s happening inside their body and why it hurts. I’ve handled a bunch of both elective and emergency cases and yeah, working under pressure kinda became second nature during that time. Recovery isn't just the day of surgery—there's follow-ups, pain control, mobility training, and reassurance, lots of that too. At the end of the day, my goal is simple—get people back on their feet. Whether it’s a cracked bone or a joint that’s been hurting for years, I just wanna help make their movement easier and life a bit less painful.

I am someone who's been into dentistry for over 13 years now, and honestly it still surprises me how much there's to learn with every smile I see. My core area is Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics—really got drawn to how aligning teeth could change someone’s confidence, sometimes their whole vibe. For the past 5 years, I’ve dived deep into ortho work—braces, clear aligners, even tricky jaw cases that need extra planning. It's like solving puzzles but on real ppl, which makes it kinda thrilling but also heavy 'cause you wanna get it just right. Before that, for about 8 yrs, I was practicing general dentistry full-time—cleanings, fillings, RCTs, smile makeovers, that sorta thing. I still enjoy those, esp when patients come back feeling less scared of the chair or dental stuff in general. I try to keep things chill, talk through options, explain why something matters (like yeah that gum issue might look small but it won’t stay small if ignored??), and make sure everyone feels seen. Most patients just want to feel okay when they smile or eat or talk. My job’s to get them there, whether it means aligning a crooked bite, doing preventive care, or walking someone through their 1st root canal without them panicking (which, yeah, happens a lot). I do a lot of smile designing too—adjusting shape, proportion, color, but also making sure it fits the face and doesn’t just look “done”. And I’m super careful with hygiene stuff—no point fixing teeth if we don’t protect them after. Anyway, I believe every smile tells a story and sometimes ppl just need a little nudge or help to tell it better. I’m here for that, really. Whether it's a kid with crowding, a teen starting aligners, or an adult who's finally ready to fix what’s been bugging them for yrs... I want them to walk out feelin' more themselves.

I am currently working as a Medical Officer in a tertiary care hospital, and yeah, it keeps me on my toes constantly. Most of my time goes into dealing with emergencies—trauma, cardiac arrest, polytrauma, COPD exacerbation, poisoning, hypertensive crisis, seizure—you name it. Some days are chaos, and others just look like they’re calm until a code blue hits at 3 AM. But I honestly like that kinda unpredictability... it sharpens your instincts like nothing else. My job means I’m the first line of contact when a patient lands in ER, and the decisions I take in those first few mins—whether it’s airway support, starting CPR, triaging, or calling a rapid team—can seriously change the outcome. Working with such diverse cases every shift has made me way more confident in managing critically ill patients fast, without freezing up under pressure. Whether it’s trauma resus, chest pain, high-grade fever with shock or altered sensorium—we jump right in, assess, stabilize and coordinate with the ICU or OT depending on how things move. I’ve gotten comfortable with a lotta things that used to freak me out in med school—suturing deep lacs at 2 am, managing convulsions that won’t stop, inserting Ryles tubes with shaky relatives staring at you... even assisting in emergency intubations or pushing lifesaving drugs while explaining things calmly to scared families. It’s intense, but also kinda humbling. Besides the adrenaline, I’m involved in monitoring inpatients, managing night shifts, and often guiding junior residents especially during crisis calls. I try to follow updated protocols, like ACLS, ATLS basics, and critical care bundles even during high-pressure situations. I also coordinate referrals & follow-ups after initial stabilization—something people don’t always realize is super important in emergencies. End of the day, I just wanna make sure patients feel seen, heard, and safely managed—even if all I get is 3 mins with them in a crowded ER. Emergency medicine isn’t always neat or pretty. But I really believe that clarity, timing, and a lil bit of calm can actually save lives.
