Experience: | 3 years |
Education: | R.D. Gardi Medical College |
Academic degree: | MD (Doctor of Medicine) |
Area of specialization: | I am trained in MD Pediatrics, which basically means I work with babies, kids, and teens through all the ups and down of growth, development and illness. From the first cry in a delivery room to managing tricky adolescent health issues, I focus on building strong, long-term care around both the child and their family. I handle everything from routine check-ups, nutrition advice, and immunizations to more complex stuff like pediatric emergencies, chronic conditions, developmental delays and infectious diseases that just don’t show up the same in kids.
I keep a close eye on growth milestones, behavioural patterns, and overall well-being — not just treating problems after they show up, but trying to prevent them before they do. A big part of what I do involves educating parents, calming nerves, and explaining treatments in real terms, not textbook lines.
My training also involved research exposure and a strong base in evidence-based medicine, which I carry into daily OPDs. I don’t go by guess work — I go by patterns, data, and clinical experience. The goal? Help every child thrive, and make sure parents never feel like they’re going through it alone. |
Achievements: | I have actively contributed to academics and clinical pediatrics through multiple avenues. I have presented research papers at both state and national conferences, showcasing my work to peers and experts in the field. Several of my research studies have also been published in reputed international journals, reflecting my commitment to evidence-based practice and advancing pediatric knowledge. Clinically, I have gained extensive experience working in various leading corporate hospitals across the country, where I have been involved in high-end pediatric care, including advanced management in Pediatric Intensive Care Units (PICU) and Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICU). This combination of research, academic presentations, and hands-on experience in critical care has enriched my expertise and strengthened my ability to deliver comprehensive pediatric care. |
I am a young pediatrician who’s been in the field long enough to know that no two kids — or their parents — are ever quite the same. I focus on delivering evidence-based care but with a human side, where parents feel seen, not just prescribed. I stick to strict OPD protocols to make sure each child gets a proper evaluation, from history to follow-up, and I don’t cut corners just because the complaint sounds “common.” One thing I take seriously is antibiotic stewardship — way too many kids are getting unnecessary meds. I always explain *why* I’m not prescribing something, not just why I am. Rational treatment isn’t just safe, it’s respectful. I’d rather spend an extra five minutes talking than rush into writing down antibiotics for every fever or cough. And surprisingly, most parents actually appreciate that. I’m known to be calm and soft-spoken (sometimes too soft, I’ve been told), but I believe that helps in pediatric practice. Kids pick up on energy. So do anxious parents. I try to explain every diagnosis and plan in a way that makes sense — no heavy jargon, no rushing them out the door. Whether it’s simple viral fever, a growth concern, nutritional doubts, or chronic allergies, I make sure the family walks away feeling supported, not confused. I’m still learning — every case, every child teaches you something. But I care deeply, I stay updated, and I work with full attention to detail. Whether it’s managing newborns, routine immunization, or figuring out those tricky “not eating properly” complaints, I give it my 100%. And yes, sometimes that means running late in OPD. But I’m okay with that — because rushing isn’t how trust gets built.
