Academic degree: | MD (Doctor of Medicine) |
Area of specialization: | I am mostly working with skin, hair, nail issues—some simple, some way more layered than they look at first. People usually come in thinking it’s “just dandruff” or “just dryness,” but honestly? It rarely is that straight. I deal with everything from fungal infections, eczema, psoriasis to sudden hairfall, alopecia patches, nail disorders that don’t respond to usual creams.
I also manage STDs and other dermatological signs of internal problems—those need a quiet space, a non-judgy ear, and yeah, a sharp eye too. Diagnosis isn’t always visible. Cosmetology is another side of my practice—treatments like chemical peels, lasers, acne scar correction or PRP for hair. But I don’t belive in pushing things—if something doesn't suit someone’s skin type, I won’t do it just cause it’s trending.
I try to make each plan real—not just “treatment,” but helping people understand what their skin is trying to say. Sometimes that changes the whole outcome. |
Achievements: | I am officially specialised in Dermatology, got my degree in 2022. That yr felt like a blur tbh—tons of late-night study, case discussions that went nowhere and suddenly everything clicked. Earning that title wasn't just academic, it meant I could finally start treating skin, hair, nail stuff with more confidence.. like really *see* what was going on under surface. The whole dermat world kinda opened up after that, and yeah, I still keep learning but that year really shifted things for me. |
I am someone who learnt early that hands-on work matters way more than just reading about it. Starting off as a Junior Resident at Safdarjung Hospital in Delhi—those shifts were long, hectic, barely time to sit down, but honestly, that’s where I first got used to real-world pressure. Then moved into Senior Residency at GMC Mewat, where the setup was totally diff. Less resources maybe, but more raw cases, more decision-making on your own. It actually taught me how to work smart, not just fast. Later I took a turn toward something I really got drawn into—hair restoration. Worked as a Hair Transplant Specialist at Hairfree and Hairgrow Clinic in Gurugram. That’s where I really learnt to combine clinical precision with aesthetic sense. You can’t treat it like a routine procedure... every hairline needs planning, symmetry, and patience (also yeah a steady hand). Then I worked as a Consultant at Sethi Hospital Gurugram, managed a wide range of derm cases there—each day felt diff. Sometimes acne flares, sometimes tricky pigmentation, sometimes unexpected reactions. You gotta stay alert for stuff textbooks never warned you about. Now I run my own space—Skintastic Skin and Physiotherapy Clinic in Gurugram—where I work as the Senior Consultant. Here, I finally get to set the tone for how we treat people, not just what we treat. Whether it's laser work or acne scars or just someone looking for clarity about their skin, I try to keep the approach human. Talk first, treat second. No pushy stuff, no one-size-fits-all formulas. Just honest plans, custom to each patient. And I kinda like that I get to stay connected with every part of the process—seeing, doing, following-up. Feels more real that way.
