Experience: | 2 years |
Education: | Government Medical College and Hospital Chandigarh |
Academic degree: | MD (Doctor of Medicine) |
Area of specialization: | I am mainly specialised in pulmonology and sleep medicine, handling conditions like asthma, COPD, tuberculosis, interstitial lung disease, pneumonia and sleep apnea. Respiratory cases can be simple cough one day and life threatening breathlessness the next, so I learned to stay flexible in my approach. Alongside this I work in critical care, where ventilator management, ICU protocols, sepsis and emergency care keep me on my toes. Those moments in ICU are intense, fast decisions matter and sometimes there is no time for second guess.
I also deal with diabetes and metabolic disorders, focusing on lifestyle changes, insulin therapy and long term management of type 1 and type 2 diabetes, obesity and metabolic syndrome. Many patients struggle with small daily routines, diet or exercise, and guiding them step by step is often harder than prescribing medicine. Internal medicine is another major area for me, covering hypertension, thyroid disease, infectious problems and autoimmune disorders like rheumatoid arthritis.
In interventional pulmonology I perform thoracocentesis, intercostal drain insertion, pleural procedures and diagnostic bronchoscopy. These procedures need steady hand but also calm talk with patients because the idea of tubes and scopes can feel scary. I try to balance technical skill with reassurance, making sure patients understand why the procedure is needed and what to expect. |
Achievements: | I am proud that I was awarded a gold medal in my MD Pulmonary, Critical Care & Sleep Medicine, that moment felt like a big validation of the effort I put into study and patient care. I also hold certification in Diabetes & Metabolic Disorders from RCGP UK, which added depth to my work with lifestyle disease. My PG training at Govt Medical College Chandigarh gave me strong base in clinical care and research. I also cleared USMLE Step 1, and stay active in CME, presentations, research!! |
I am Dr. Prabhnoor Singh, MBBS, MD in Pulmonary, Critical Care & Sleep Medicine, also a gold medalist which for me was more of a reminder of hard work than a medal itself. My clinical background is rooted in internal medicine and respiratory diseases, areas that keep me constantly engaged because lungs and metabolism connect with almost every system of the body. Over the years I worked with patients suffering from asthma, COPD, interstitial lung disease, sleep apnea, and other chronic respiratory problems. Each patient’s journey is different and I try to match treatment not just to the disease but also to their lifestyle and family context. I am certified in Diabetes & Metabolic Disorders by RCGP, UK, and also trained in management of lifestyle diseases like hypertension, obesity, and diabetes. I see these conditions as long battles where guidance and regular monitoring matter more than quick fixes. Sometimes patients are overwhelmed with too many instructions, so I break things down into smaller, practical steps—diet, activity, medicine adjustments. It doesn’t always go smoothly, compliance issues are common, but even small improvements matter. Critical care is another part of my practice where decisions must be fast and accurate. Managing ventilators, handling unstable patients, coordinating with ICU teams—these situations test both skill and patience. I also perform interventional pulmonology procedures such as thoracocentesis, ICD insertion, and bronchoscopy. Procedures demand precision, but they also need empathy, because patients are often anxious about the idea of instruments and scopes. My approach remains holistic and patient-centered. I believe evidence-based medicine works best when paired with compassionate care. I spend time explaining conditions, discussing prognosis honestly, and involving families in decision making. Whether it’s respiratory, metabolic, or autoimmune disorders, I aim for long-term health rather than temporary relief. Each day I remind myself that medicine is not only about curing disease, but also about supporting people through uncertainty and helping them find stability in their health.
