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.

I am a qualified Orthodontist with a Master’s degree in Orthodontics. I specialize in providing comprehensive orthodontic care, including braces and clear aligner treatments, to help patients achieve healthy, confident smiles. I have experience in diagnosing and treating a wide range of dental and facial irregularities, and I focus on delivering customized treatment plans for both children and adults. Alongside orthodontics, I also provide services such as teeth whitening, veneers, scaling, and polishing. My approach is patient-centered, ensuring comfort, clear communication, and long-term results. I am currently consulting across multiple clinics and have successfully managed numerous orthodontic cases with positive outcomes.

I am an ENT surgeon—officially Otolaryngologist, but yeah that’s a mouthful sometimes. I did my MS in ENT, which was intense and a bit humbling too honestly. After that I went ahead with DNB in ENT, which kinda helped me refine everything I thought I already knew. Later, I completed MNAMS too. Each step felt like adding another layer to what I could offer patients. Right now, I’m based in Kerala and working here—it’s where most of my clinical practice happens these days. I deal with all things ear, nose, and throat—routine and not-so-routine. From chronic sinusitis and hearing loss to vocal cord stuff and ear surgeries, there’s a lot going on in this field that people usually don’t realise till something starts bothering them. I’m used to balancing OPD cases, emergencies, procedures—some days are calm and others go sideways real quick, but that’s part of the deal, right? My approach isn’t robotic. Like, I really believe in listening before treating. ENT symptoms can be tricky—like a small problem in one part can affect everything else, so you can’t always jump to conclusions just by looking at the reports. And sometimes you just gotta take a moment, step back, and rethink your plan if something doesn't add up. Not every case goes by textbook, not every patient reacts the same. Honestly, I’m still learning—ENT’s one of those fields where something new keeps showing up. I try to stay updated when I can, squeeze in some journal reading between surgeries or in the late hours. But at the core of it, I just want patients to feel seen, treated well, and to leave with more relief than worry. I don’t claim to have all the answers every time, but I do put in the work till we figure it out.

I am Dr. Hitesh Garg, an orthopedic surgeon working out of Noida, and honestly, for me it's all about helping people get back to doing the stuff they miss—walking pain-free, climbing stairs without thinking twice, even just sitting cross-legged without wincing. My main focus is joint replacement surgeries—knee replacements and hip replacements mostly—but I also work a lot with trauma cases, sports injuries, and arthroscopy. You know, those ACL tears or meniscus injuries that just don’t let athletes feel like themselves again... yeah, that’s where I try to step in. I’ve seen how joint pain can eat into someone’s daily life—slowly, silently. People try to adjust, they ignore it, or push through until it’s kinda unbearable. My job isn’t just about fixing bones and joints, it’s also about giving folks back that feeling of control. Whether it's an elderly patient who wants to walk in the park again or a younger guy with ligament issues who’s desperate to return to the field—I tailor my approach to what they actually need. My surgeries are backed by latest evidence-based protocols, but I always keep it personal. I'm not the kind of doc who rushes through OPD—each case is unique and I prefer to walk people through the whats and whys. Sometimes that means repeating myself a few times, or sitting through nervous questions from family, but I think that’s part of the healing too. And ya, arthroscopy’s something I genuinely enjoy doing. Less invasive, faster recovery—it’s a great tool in the right hands and I try to keep my skills updated with that. Same with trauma care—there's a different kind of intensity there, but when done right, it can literally change the outcome of someone's life in a few hours. Currently practicing in Noida, my work mostly revolves around people dealing with chronic knee pain, joint degeneration, post-injury rehab or those looking at full replacements. If you're stuck in that place where the pain won't let go and nothing else worked, maybe we talk, see what's next.

I am Dr. Raj Prajapati & I’ve been running Raj Dental Clinic in Manjalpur, Vadodara since 2019. I started this space to kinda break that whole fear vibe around dental chairs—you know what I mean? Most people come in tensed up, expecting pain or long recovery or just... confusion. My focus right from day one was clear: make treatments as painless, quick, and straight-up easy to understand as possible. My work revolves a lot around painless RCT (root canal treatment), dental implants for missing teeth, cosmetic dentistry, and clear aligners for those not-so-crazy-about-metal-braces types. Honestly, I like mixing precision with simplicity—don’t wanna overdo or underdo anything. Just give people the smile they actually feel like smiling with. People come to us looking for invisible braces or full mouth work or even something basic, and I try to explain stuff in plain talk, not with those heavy textbook terms that only scare patients more. At our clinic, we keep it friendly, not like one of those super glossy, cold setups. And yeah, affordability matters too, right? Treatments are kept reasonable, like actually doable for normal folks, not just for high-end crowd. We do offer full-range dental services, from basic fillings and clean-ups to advanced things like implants and esthetic work. Not saying I’m perfect—sometimes cases go off-script or need more sittings than usual—but that’s how real treatment is, messy at times but gets there. Also, I work hard to keep my methods updated, like if there’s a new thing in aligners or implant tech, I try it, test it, and see if it actually helps before jumping into it fully. At the end, all that matters to me is that a patient walks out a lil more confident, lil less scared to smile. That’s all I want tbh. Oh and yeah—Raj Dental Clinic isn’t some big chain or corporate place. It’s small, local, hands-on. We’re here if your tooth hurts or you just wanna finally fix that crooked smile you’ve been hiding forever.

I am a consultant endoscopist and laparoscopic surgeon, mostly working with a mix of thyroid, breast, and abdominal cases—but honestly, my days hardly look the same. One moment it’s a gall bladder issue, next it’s a hernia or piles, or even something deeper like arterial blockage or a weird intestinal bleed that won’t show up in scans till you dig in with the scope. I do see a lot of patients with chronic fissure or fistula, and while many assume these are “simple” problems, they rarely are. Pain doesn’t always follow rules. Laparoscopic work’s where I feel most settled. Whether it's appendix removal, dealing with ulcers, or trauma from abdominal injuries—minimally invasive techniques let me do more with less, if that makes sense? Faster recovery, smaller scars, and often less fear in the patient’s eyes when I explain what we’ll do. Endoscopy helps too, like it gives me a window inside without rushing to cut. And when you’re managing conditions around pancreas or intestines, that kinda access really matters. Some of the vascular stuff—venous diseases or weird wound-healing cases—those I usually take a step back and rethink before jumping in. There’s no single playbook. You sorta learn that over time. It’s hard to explain all this in a single line—each condition I treat, whether it’s piles, hernia, or a stomach ulcer, carries its own story. I just try to stay alert, update my skills, and listen carefully—people don’t always say everything out loud, but their pain shows it. And yah, communication helps as much as a scalpel, probably more sometimes. Mistakes teach too, though no one talks about those much... but they sharpen you, for real.

I am working currently at Marudhar Hospital, Jaipur and before that I was with Shalby Hospital from Aug 2023 till 2025 as RMO—and honestly, that shift taught me a lot. At Shalby, I got to deal with all kinds of cases, some straightforward, others messy... trauma, pre-op, post-op, emergency stuff where you had no time to overthink, just act. That kind of pressure, day in day out, makes you either break or sharpen, and I’d like to think I leaned into the second. The learning curve was steep but it grounded me in real clinical decision-making, not just protocol-based textbook stuff. Now at Marudhar, it’s more of a different vibe—smaller teams, more direct responsibility. Here I feel more involved in both patient care *and* the bigger picture, like continuity between departments, follow-up care, seeing outcomes in longer loops. It’s less about just stabilizing and more about understanding the full arc of the patient journey. Not gonna lie, there’s days I miss the crazy pace of Shalby... but there’s something satisfying in the slower, layered experience too. Both roles helped me figure out what kind of doctor I’m trying to be—not just someone ticking off symptoms but someone actually noticing what’s missing, even in what’s said casually by patients. I’m still learning, still figuring things out, but yeah—these two hospitals shaped a big chunk of that path.
