I am at the very start of my career with 6 months of clinical experience, and though it may sound short, in medicine even half a year feels intense and filled with lessons. In this time I worked closely with patients across different conditions, some routine and some that needed urgent care. Each case forced me to listen better, think sharper and understand that behind every report or lab value there is a real person waiting for clarity. During these months I assisted in consultations, observed surgical procedures, managed follow ups and also learned how important simple communication can be. Many patients are more afraid of not knowing what is happening than of the treatment itself, and I realised even a small explanation can reduce that fear. That part of practice matter as much as diagnosis or prescribing medicine. I have also seen how teamwork shape outcomes. Senior doctors, nurses, support staff — everyone has a role, and learning to coordinate with them has been a big part of my growth. Sometimes the challenge was not clinical but logistical, like arranging investigations on time or ensuring follow up visits are not missed. These small details end up making a huge diference in patient recovery. Even though 6 months is early in this journey, I take it as a foundation where skills are slowly building. Every new case add something to my judgement. Some mistakes taught me more than the easy cases, and I keep reminding myself that learning in medicine never stop. My aim is to keep growing step by step, to stay consistent, and to put patient well being above everything else.

I am practicing with 3 years of clinical experiance in both Clinical Dentistry and Aesthetic Medicine, and every day I see how oral health connect with confidence and overall wellbeing. My work often start with basic procedures like dental fillings, extractions or oral prophylaxis but even those small steps can change a patients comfort. I do a lot of RCTs and crown preparations, where precision matter so much—one small slip can affect the outcome, so I try to be extra careful, sometimes double checking even when I feel its fine. Teeth whitening and other aesthetic procedures are another big part of my practice. Many patients come not only with pain but also with worries about how their smile look, and I belive helping them regain that smile is equally important. Cosmetic dentistry, when done properly, is not only about appearance but also about restoring function and natural feel. I also keep in mind that prevention is as important as treatment. A simple scaling, oral hygiene instruction or timely check up can save someone from future bigger problems. I encourage patients to ask questions, sometimes they ask the same doubt multiple times and I don’t mind repeating, because understanding create trust. In aesthetic medicine, I apply the same principle—balance of safety and outcome. Whether it is a whitening procedure or managing minor corrections, I aim for results that look natural, not forced. I know technology and techniques keep evolving, and I make effort to stay updated through reading and learning from peers. Looking back at these 3 years, I feel still at the beginning of a long journey. Every patient case add something to my skill set, and sometimes also test my patience. But at the end, seeing someone walk out relieved, free of pain or smiling more freely, remind me why I choose this line of work.

I am working as a dental surgeon for more than 5 years now and honestly every stage of my journey taught me something diff. I started at Medinest polyclinic, then moved to Dr Teeth Dental clinic and Rootz multi-speciality dental clinic where I handled wide range of cases under guidance and also independtly. Later I worked as a consultant dental surgeon at MedDent polyclinic before taking the role of Chief Dental surgeon at Dentara multi-speciality dental care, Whitefield, Bangalore, where I am currently practicing. My work cover endodontics, prosthodontics, oral surgery and aesthetic dentistry. Over the years I have done 150+ successful root canal treatments, more than 300 teeth extractions, including 100 impacted teeth removals that require surgical approach. I also performed 50+ aligner cases, around 300 fixed prosthesis and over 800 smile designing or aesthetic dentistry cases where the goal was not just function but confidence in smile. Diagnosis is also a huge part of my practice and till now I managed more than 5000+ diagnosis and treatments across general dentistry and cosmetic care. I see dentistry as not just about fixing tooth problems but improving overall oral health, preventing systemic complications and helping patients stay confident. Each patient comes with a diff story—some need urgent pain relief, others long term rehabilitation. I try to balance precision and patient comfort, using evidence-based techniques and technology while keeping communication simple and clear. My approach is always patient-centric: listen carefully, plan treatment that suits their need and budget, explain options, and follow-up. Numbers matter but what matters more is when a patient feels relief or smile naturally without hesitation. That’s where I feel my work make real difference.

I am dr who started this path with mbbs, worked really hard through the years and managed to complete it succesfully. That gave me not just the degree but also a strong base in healthcare, clinical skills and patient care. My early role as a Casualty medical officer at govt medical college madanapalle was quite intense, with emergency cases coming day and night, where I had to quickly learn how to think fast and act with confidence. Those days shaped much of how I see medicine even now, every patient is different and needs careful thought, even when time is short. Right now I work as a medical officer/civil assistant surgeon under the national health mission, which is a different kind of challenge because it connects you with community level healthcare. You deal with not only acute cases but also long term health management, preventive medicine, counseling families, and finding ways to balance limited resources with maximum benefit for patients. It is not always easy but it feels meaningful when small efforts make bigger change in public health. Along with my work I am pursuing Fellowship in critical care and emergency medicine. I wanted to focus here because emergency and ICU settings really demand both sharp clinical knowledge and steady nerves. Critical care exposes you to ventilators, advanced monitoring, resusctation protocols, polytrauma and sepsis management. Sometimes you get stuck between protocols and real life urgency, and that’s when experience matter more than any textbook. I am still learning daily, but already the fellowship is sharpening my approach to emergencies. I try to carry both clinical precision and humane side of medicine together. I remind myself that every diagnosis is not just a case but a person who is scared or hopeful. My work is not about fancy titles, its more about standing steady in chaos, providing right care and continuing to grow with every patient I meet.

I am working as Consultant Orthopaedic and Spine surgeon at Max Hospital Shalimar Bagh. My medical journey started with MBBS from Medical College Kolkata, followed by MS Orthopaedics from PGI Rohtak. Later I pursued DNB, MNAMS and fellowships that allowed me to focus more deeply on spine care like FASSI from ASSI, FMISS from South Korea and FDFM. Each step added a layer to my learning, from understanding trauma cases to complex spine procedures. I often think back how ortho was not just about fixing a bone, it was about restoring mobility and dignity. During training years I learnt to handle joint injuries, fractures, deformities, arthritis cases but gradually my intrest shifted more towards spine. Fellowship programs gave me exposure to minimally invasive spine surgery, disc prolapse management and deformity correction which is now core to my practice. At Max Hospital my role is not limited to surgery, I do pre operative evaluation, diagnosis, and post operative rehabilitation planning too. Some days are about simple pain management for back or knee patients, other days its high risk spine cases requiring multi disciplinary approach. The challenge keeps me grounded and sharp. I feel communication is as important as surgical skill, so I spend time explaining patients what their options are, even when they look small details. Over the years I realised trust is built not in the operation theatre but in those conversations before and after. Right now my goal is to keep refining minimally invasive techniques and spine care protocols, while also ensuring each patient feels safe and supported through their treatment journey.

I am an ophthalmologist with 15 years of hands-on experience across almost every common eye condition you can think of—and quite a few complicated ones too. Day in day out I deal with people who walk in with blurry vision, eye strain, floaters, pain, sudden loss of sight, allergy, redness, trauma—sometimes they don’t even know how to explain what they’re feeling, they just say "something's off" and I have to decode that. Over the years, I’ve worked through thousands of OPDs, and I’ve seen firsthand how small delays or wrong meds can affect vision permanently. That’s why I always try to take a little more time during consults, even if the OPD is rushed. Because one missed sign, like early cataract or subtle nerve pressure, might lead to bigger problems later. I’ve done detailed diagnosis for cases ranging from refractive errors and glaucoma to eye infections, minor lid injuries, retinal changes in diabetes and more. I focus a lot on patient understanding—what’s going on in their eyes and why. You’d be surprised how many people don’t realise the connection between diabetes or BP n eye health. I try to bridge that gap. Procedures-wise, I’ve managed cataract evaluations, pre-post op guidance, vision screening, slit-lamp assessments, fundoscopy, tonometry, etc. Not all cases need surgery, many need timely advice & follow-up. Some cases stick with you. Like kids with squint or lazy eye—early spotting makes all the difference. Or old patients scared of surgery, just needing someone to slow down and explain. After 15 years, I still feel that eye care isn’t just about treatment, it’s about giving people confidence they won’t lose their sight silently. That’s the part I care about. And keep showing up for.

I am a psychiatrist who’s been pretty much immersed in the wide, layered world of mental health—from inpatient wards to OPDs, crisis situations to long-term follow-ups. I work with all kinds of conditions, but yeah, mood disorders, anxiety, OCD, psychosis, and substance use disorders are kinda the core of what I do day in-day out. Diagnosing is just one part of it—what really matters is figuring out how each person’s mental health is getting tangled up with their life, environment, and past. That’s usually where things start to make a bit of sense... or at least a direction shows up. I try to stay true to evidence-based psychiatry—I mean the research, the guidelines, they matter—but I also don’t stick to a cold clinical rulebook. Every person comes in with their own story, some are just barely keeping it together, some don’t even know what’s wrong. I listen, ask, re-check if needed, explain (sometimes not very elegantly), and build the plan with them—not just *for* them. That part’s important to me. Like, the human part of this whole thing. I’ve worked in both hospital setups and regular clinics—handling acute psychiatric emergencies where every minute is intense, and also slower-paced outpatient work where trust builds slowly over months. Honestly both require very different kinds of focus and patience. I do care about mental health awareness, not just in theory but like... helping someone realize this isn’t their fault or they’re not just “weak”—that’s something I keep trying to put out there, even if it’s just in small ways during consults. Anyway, psychiatry isn’t black and white. It’s complicated, messy sometimes. But it’s also real, and healing happens in pieces, not all at once. I’m here for that.

I am a dentist and cosmetologist who’s been in this field for more than 15 yrs now—yeah, long enough to see dental tech change like crazy and skincare trends come and go!! For the past 7 years, I was part of the Apollo Hospital team, which gave me solid ground to handle a wide range of cases, from routine dental to complex cosmetic concerns. Whether it’s smile designing, tooth pain that just won’t quit, or hair loss that makes you feel off—people usually come to me when they’re stuck or tired of going in circles. I do dental work obviously—cleanings, root canals, braces stuff—but honestly, the cosmetic side really keeps me curious. I work on skin treatments like peels, pigmentation issues, anti-aging plans, acne (that’s a big one), plus hair care including PRP and hair regrowth therapies. Oh and slimming—yep, I consult for that too. We mix medical-grade tools and non-surgical protocols that actually feel doable. No overpromise thing, just real options depending on body type and goals. Sometimes people ask if it’s weird to do both teeth and skin—but to me it’s all part of the same thing: confidence. Your smile, your skin, your hair—it's all connected to how you feel walking into a room, right? I try to listen first, not push treatments just becuz they sound cool or trendy. If something doesn't fit you, I’ll say that straight. I prefer long-term improvement over flashy fixes. Anyway, you can reach out for anything dental or cosmetic—hair, skin, slimming... doesn’t matter if you’re sure or confused, just bring your questions. We’ll figure it out.

I am currently working with Toothsi as a clinic head and honestly... every day brings something new. My core area is orthodontics—specifically braces and clear aligner treatments—and I’ve kinda leaned into that over time just ‘cause I like seeing how small changes in alignment can make a huge diff in someone’s confidence, or even their basic chewing comfort (which ppl often overlook). Being in a lead role means I manage clinical decisions but also get my hands in treatment planning, patient consultations, and ya, troubleshooting when cases don’t go textbook-smooth. That part’s underrated—people think orthodontics is all straight lines and wire bends, but there’s a lot of strategy when you’re working with clear aligners, especially customizing it to different jaws, habits, timelines etc. I’m not much into the flashy stuff, but I do believe in staying current with tech—aligner biomechanics, 3D scanning workflows, treatment simulations...all that. I also really try to make my patients feel heard—not just smile, but bite, speak, and live better. There’s this huge cosmetic angle of course, but functionality is a big deal for me too. You’ll find me explaining molar movements in simple doodles or sometimes rambling a bit mid-treatment about occlusion—it’s just how I think! Point is, I care about results that last. And being in a place like Toothsi where innovation meets volume has helped me grow fast—clinically, and yeah, in just understanding patient behaviour across diff cities n setups. Anyway if you're thinkin’ about aligners or just confused whether you need ortho at all—happy to clear things up without pushing anything you don’t actually need.
