Academic degree: | MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery) |
Area of specialization: | I am working as a clinical cardiologist after completing my diploma in cardiology from Aster Ramesh hospital Vijayawada. My focus is on diagnosing and treating heart related problems, from common conditions like hypertension and chest pain to more complex cardiac disorders that need long term monitoring. In daily practice I handle ECG interpretation, echocardiography, stress testing and guide patients on medical management for arrhythmias, coronary artery disease and heart failure.
Many patients come at very late stage, when symptoms already progress, and I try to make them understand the value of early detection and lifestyle changes. Cardiology is not only about prescribing drugs, it also mean counseling on diet, exercise, smoking cessation, sometimes just convincing someone that a small change today may prevent serious event later. I also see patients for preventive checkups, especially those with family history or metabolic risk factors like diabetes, high cholesterol, obesity.
What I like most is combining clinical skills with practical advice, cause every patient story is different. Some need aggressive treatment, others need reassurance, and often both at same time. My aim is to provide care that is not just technically correct but also human, making patients feel heard while we manage their condition together. |
Achievements: | I am proud to have recieved a fellowship certificate in Clinical Cardiology from Texila University, which mark an important step in my professional journey. The program strengthen my skills in diagnosis and patient care, and gave me deeper insight into managing complex cardiac cases. For me it was not just about getting a certificate, but about building confidence to handle cardiology practice with more clarity and consistency, something that directly help my patients everyday. |
I am working in clinical practice for the last 3 yrs, and during this time I learned more from patients than from any textbook honestly. At the start I was not even sure how quickly I will adapt to the workload, the long OPDs, late night emergencies, constant calls.. but slowly it became routine and also gave me a sense of responsibility that nothing else can match. My focus has been on providing reliable primary care and managing both acute and chronic illnesses, guiding patients not only with prescriptions but with small day to day advice that make treatment more sustainable. In these 3 years I handled cases ranging from fevers, infections, hypertension, diabetes to more complicated referrals where coordination with specialists was needed. I try to keep my approach simple, listen carefully, explain in plain words, and make sure patients feel they are not alone in this process. Working in different clinical setups exposed me to variety of challenges—sometimes limited resources, sometimes families with high expectations, sometimes cases that did not respond as text book say they should. Those moments are tough, but they also shape you, make you double check, learn from mistakes, and improve. I also got chance to assist in procedures and basic emergency care, and those experiences still stay with me whenever I face similar cases. I believe continuity of care is one of the most important thing in general medicine. Patients come back not just for medicines but for trust, for the feeling that their doctor understand their history and concern. Over these years I also realized how much counseling matter, even for simple illnesses—reassuring parents of a sick child, or explaining lifestyle changes to someone with early diabetes, can sometimes be more impactful than the prescription itself.
