I am Dr. Aditya Batra, working as a Consultant Pediatrician in Gurugram and my focus is really about giving complete care to kids—right from tiny infants to growing adolescents who come with very diff needs. Over the yrs I realised pediatrics is not just about medicines but about careful listening, guiding parents, and staying updated with evidence based practice. My training started with MBBS at Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College and later I did my MD in Pediatrics from JSS Medical College, Mysore. Those yrs of study and the early clinical postings shaped my understanding of child health in a way textbooks alone could not. I also had the chance to work with institutions like Government Medical College, Chandigarh and MAMC, and later as faculty at Manipal Institute of Medical Sciences where I got to be part of teaching, something that keeps me grounded in academics too. In my clinical work I cover the whole spectrum of pediatrics but I have particular intrest in pediatric allergy, asthma, vaccination services, travel medicine and infectious diseases like dengue or malaria which are common but still challenging in management. Some days are routine checkups, some are long discussions on immunisation plans, and then there are those complex cases where you need every bit of knowledge and patience. Research is also important for me. I worked on rare pediatric disorders like Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) and Russell–Silver Syndrome. These cases dont come often but documenting them means future doctors and patients benefit. Publishing those findings in journals felt less about prestige and more about contributing to the wider pediatric community. One recognition that stays close to me was receiving a research grant on breastfeeding promotion. Preventive pediatrics is something i believe in strongly, and initiatives like that remind me that medicine isn’t always about curing, sometimes it’s about preventing illness before it starts. At the end, my goal stays same: offer safe, high quality care for children while also supporting families through the questions and worries they carry.

I am Dr Shreeya Rajput and honestly when i look back, pediatrics always felt like the place i was meant to be. I did my MBBS from SKIMS Soura, and then went on for MD in Pediatrics at GMC Jammu. Those years shaped how i think about children’s health, not just in terms of diagnosis or treatment but the small details of daily care that really make a difference. After that i worked 15 months as Senior Resident in Pediatrics at GMC Srinagar, and that gave me the kind of hands-on expereince that no textbook ever does. Long nights, emergency codes, neonatal units where minutes feel like hours, and OPD days packed with worried parents and restless kids—it’s intense but it teaches you balance. I deal with all kinds of pediatric problems, from managing acute infections, fevers, asthma, and diarrheal illness to long-term care in chronic conditions and growth concerns. Neonatal care is an area I got especially trained in during residency, handling premature babies, low birth weight infants and complicated post-delivery cases. I also manage OPD patients of all type, whether it’s routine vaccination, developmental checks or children coming in with recurring health complaints. Some days are routine, other days bring something rare or unexpected and those moments constantly push me to stay sharp and keep learning. What i carry from this journey is not just clinical knowledge but a deeper sense that pediatrics needs patience, empathy and clarity. Parents want someone who can explain things without jargon, and kids need someone who can make them feel safe even when they’re sick or scared. I try to keep my practice rooted in evidence-based medicine but also in kindness, because one without the other feels incomplete. I continue to keep up with updates in pediatric care, because in medicine nothing stays still for too long. And maybe that’s why this field keeps me motivated—there’s always more to learn, always another young life to protect, and always a reason to keep going.

I am currently pursuing my MS in Ophthalmology at East Point hospital, and honestly this phase feels like both a challenge and a privilege. Before joining here I worked for a year in a hospital at Chintamani, where I got real exposure to handling day to day patient flow, emergencies and assisting in procedures. That time helped me realise how important clear communication is with patients, especially when they come scared with vision problems and need reassurance as much as treatment. In my training now, I spend long hours learning surgical techniques, understanding diagnostic tools like slit lamp, fundoscopy, OCT scans, and also keeping up with theory because ophthalmology is one of those fields where tech and knowledge keeps changing fast. Sometimes it gets overwhelming, like juggling clinics, wards and study together, but the hands on learning in cataract, glaucoma and retina cases makes it worth. I also try to give attention to basic but vital areas like refraction errors, diabetic eye disease, and pediatric vision problems, since those are common issues in practice and affect quality of life hugely. What keeps me motivated is knowing that restoring or even protecting sight can completely change a person’s life. Small things like helping a child see better in class or guiding an elderly patient through cataract surgery, they matter more than words. My aim is to grow into a confident ophthalmologist who can balance medical knowledge, surgical skill and human empathy. I know the path is long and maybe a bit rough, but each step, whether in outpatient clinic or operation theatre, feels like moving closer to that goal.

I am a consultant physician working mainly with adult patients—most of the time ppl come to me with diabetes, bp issues, thyroid, or something tricky like chest discomfort they’re not quite sure about. I focus a lot on diagnosis, especially early ones. That matters. Like sometimes a small infection is not “just a cold,” and other times high sugar readings are just the start of smthing bigger brewing. I don’t believe in rushing to prescribe unless it’s needed—trying to first see the whole picture. And yeah, I do think prevention is huge. I talk to my patients about lifestyle stuff too, even if not everyone’s ready to hear it yet. Managing chronic conditions like hypertension or thyroid disorders? it’s not just one-time visit. It’s about staying on track, tweaking meds if needed, and just showing up for their health in a way that’s doable for them, not just ideal on paper. Heart and lung problems—wheezing, palpitations, fatigue—I try to dig deep, not just treat symptoms but understand the why, where it began, whether stress or diet or something missed. Also i’ve worked closely with patients going through lifestyle-related illnesses, like obesity or stress-linked disorders. It’s not just numbers on reports, it’s about how ppl feel in their daily life. That’s how i try to look at it—what’s really affecting them, what’s sustainable, and what’ll give them peace in the long run. Evidence-based treatment is my backbone, sure, but i like mixing that with plain common sense. A lot can be solved with the right conversation at the right time. That’s kinda how i work. Simple, steady, but thorough. If ur looking for someone who won’t overlook the small stuff and actually listens, then i might be a good fit.

I am someone who finished post grad from Madras Medical College, batch 2019 to 2022—those 3 yrs were pretty full-on, lot of rotations, long shifts, some pretty tough calls, esp in medicine wards. Cleared my DNB exit exam in 2023, which was one of those sigh-of-relief moments. After that, joined International Cancer Centre at Neyyoor—really opened my eyes to the way chronic illness impacts everything, not just organs but ppl’s entire lives. Each case felt layered, not just medical but emotional too. Later moved to Max Superspeciality Hospital in Saket, Delhi. Busy place, high volume, lot of cardiac & endocrine cases. Had to learn to think fast but also listen carefully, esp in OPD—sometimes 5 minutes is all u get. Right now, working at Meridian Superspeciality Hospital, Chennai. Here I’ve been able to slow down a bit, dig deeper into long-term patient care. Trying to balance evidence-based practice with the kind of practical, day-to-day guidance patients actually remember and follow. Still learning. Honestly. Even now some things confuse me—like why two ppl with the same lab reports respond totally differently. That stuff keeps me humble. But I like that. Makes medicine less about protocols and more about ppl. I guess that’s the part I’m drawn to.

I am someone who's spent the last 5+ years living ENT full-time—like literally ear nose throat head neck all day every day. I started off just wanting to get the basics right, like outpatient consults, follow-ups, managing common stuff, you know—ear infections, sinus things, sore throats, that kind of cycle. But the deeper I went, the more I ended up doing. I now handle a full range of ENT cases both medical and surgical, including emergencies. I’ve worked across clinics, wards, OTs and ERs, and each setting taught me something new. I’ve done tonsillectomies, adenoidectomies, septoplasties, tympanoplasties independently (like really on my own start to end), and assisted on the more advanced stuff—mastoidectomy, FESS, and even head & neck cancer surgeries where you just have to stay sharp every second or you're out of sync with the team. Emergencies? Yeah, lots—epistaxis where you don’t know when the bleed’ll stop, kids with airway blocks, foreign bodies in places they’re not supposed to be... those test your nerves but also build instincts. What these years honestly gave me is a way better sense of judgment—like when to wait, when to act, and how to explain to someone’s family why you’re doing what you're doing. The OR helped me get better with my hands, obviously, but I think ENT is also about patience... and being okay with not rushing. Not every deviated septum needs surgery right away. Not every ear pain is an infection. You learn to pause, reassess, listen again—literally and figuratively. And yeah, I still study. Still ask seniors. Still open the book when a case feels off. ENT is broad and weirdly specific at the same time, and I kinda like that. My goal now is to keep refining what I know—keep sharpening those decision edges while staying honest with what I still need to learn. ENT has turned out to be a lot more than what I thought when I started, and weirdly, I’m okay with that mess.

I am a dental surgeon, but honestly—my heart lies in aesthetics. Smile designing is kinda where it all clicks for me. I did my BDS from Nagpur, and later went on to do a fellowship in Aesthetic Dentistry from Chennai... at India's top-ranked dental college, which still feels surreal tbh. That place taught me way more than textbooks—precision, layering, patience, and weirdly enough, trust. I’ve handled 500+ smile makeover cases now, though I don't usually count unless something went really sideways or wonderfully right. Every face’s different. Every smile has a story (some are hilarious, some really heartbreaking), and I try to bring out that natural, confident look without overdoing it. I'm not into the whole copy-paste veneer trend... like, your teeth should feel like *you,* not a magazine model. My work usually starts with small convos—what bothers you, what you're unsure about. Not everyone walks in asking for a Hollywood smile; sometimes it’s just closing a tiny gap or fixing a tooth that turns a bit when you smile. I use evidence-based methods, but yeah I do rely on gut sometimes, esp. with shade matching... those are tricky. If you know, you know. Right now, I mostly focus on smile makeovers, teeth whitening, composite bonding, and minimally-invasive corrections. I like conservative approaches whenever possible—keep enamel safe, preserve structure. I’ll always lean toward something natural over artificial—even if it takes longer or isn’t flashy. I do spend time brushing up (no pun intended) on latest stuff—newer materials, layering techniques, injectable composites, digital scanning etc. I'm a bit geeky about before-after planning. Sometimes, it takes 10 tries on the mock-up to get the *one* the patient actually vibes with. Honestly, what keeps me going is that look in their eyes when they see their smile again after ages. That moment never gets old.

I am a general dental practitioner with around 4+ years of day-in, day-out chairside experience—mostly doing what needs to be done, but also figuring out how to do it better. I work as the chief dental surgeon at Aaraa Dental Care in Coimbatore, where I kinda got into full-scope general dentistry but somewhere along the way, developed a deeper focus for implantology. More specifically, basal implants and immediate loading implants—yeah, the “tooth in 2 days” type. It’s not magic, though patients sometimes think it is, but there’s a system and precision to it... and when it works, it’s honestly amazing to see the instant change in how ppl carry themselves. My approach is mostly practical—I don’t really believe in over-promising stuff. We plan fast but work safer, keeping things predictable. I’ve handled a good number of full-mouth cases using basal implants and love that I get to give solutions for those who’ve been turned away elsewhere due to poor bone support or time constraints. That’s the real strength of the technique—minimally invasive, flapless sometimes, and less dependent on grafts or long healing periods. Also, being in a city like Coimbatore, I meet all kinds of patients—some with zero idea about implants, some who walk in quoting stuff from YouTube. Either way, I try to explain in real terms, without making it sound too technical but still keeping them in loop. Communication matters, and yeah, patience too, coz not every case flows the way you want. Most days, I’m juggling consults, surgeries, post-op checkups, and the occasional late-night planning for cases that keep me thinking. Honestly, being a dentist here has kinda taught me more about people than just teeth. And while I don’t keep formal tallies, I do know each successful case pushes me to want to do better next.

I am Dr. Chhavi, B.D.S, M.D.S in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopaedics. I’m an orthodontist, yeah—but more than that, I’d say I’m someone who just genuinely loves working with smiles. Like literally shaping them. It’s kinda amazing how a small change in alignment or bite can totally shift how someone feels about themself. I've been doing this for over 3 years now, and trust me, every patient teaches me something new. Some cases are straightforward—others not so much, but that’s what makes it worth it. My main focus is on orthodontic treatment planning, fixed appliance therapy, and dentofacial orthopaedics. I work with kids, teens, adults—there’s no age limit when it comes to improving oral health and confidence. Sometimes ppl think braces or aligners are just cosmetic but really they help with bite issues, speech probs, even jaw pain. And yeah, it takes time, but when that final result shows up… totally worth the effort (and the elastics 😅). I always try to keep things comfortable and real in the clinic. I know dental visits freak some ppl out, and that's okay. We go slow, we talk it out, and I always make sure they know why we're doing what we're doing. Honestly, the trust part matters just as much as the treatment itself. And while 3 years may not sound like a ton, it’s been intense. Clinics, training, conferences, back-to-back cases… the hustle doesn’t stop. Sometimes I wonder if I’ll ever stop being a lil obsessed with tiny details—wire bending, bracket placement, bite adjustments—but maybe that’s a good thing? Precision kinda runs the whole show in ortho. And even when I’m tired (which, yeah, happens more often than ppl think), seeing that smile transformation brings me back. Anyway—if you’re thinking about orthodontic care or just curious about your dental alignment, come through. We’ll figure it out, no pressure. It's not just about straight teeth. It's about balance, function, and yep—confidence too.
