Academic degree: | MS (Master Of Surgrey) |
Area of specialization: | I am mostly working with patients who come in with spine and ortho problems that affect everyday life — things like neck pain, lower back stiffness, nerve pain running down arms or legs (which many times turns out to be sciatica or cervical disc issue). I also see a lot of knee and shoulder joint pain, sometimes early arthritis, sometimes old injuries just never healed right.
Then there are those random sharp pains in ankle or wrist that sound small but end up revealing deeper bone or nerve issues. Upper limb or lower limb radiating pain can confuse patients cause symptoms overlap with spine conditions — that’s where clinical exam really matters.
Trauma cases are another part of my work — from fresh fractures to neglected ones. I do manage bone infections, osteoporosis-related problems, and even tumors. Not every case needs surgery... many need good diagnosis n targeted rehab. I try not to rush that part.
My focus is clear: spine ailments, chronic joint pain, radiating nerve pain, trauma, tumor, infection and osteoporosis care. That’s the space I work in and keep learning every day. |
Achievements: | I am grateful that my work in medical field was recognised early, I scored distinction in ophthalmology and pediatrics during my studies which gave me more clarity on my intrest in patient care. I also recieved a medal in ophthalmology for my performance, something that still keep me motivated when I deal with eye cases. Another key achievemnt was the medal I got for my ICMR STS project, where I had to manage research work along with clinical rotations. These milestones shaped my confidence. |
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.
