Experience: | 3 years |
Education: | Topiwala National Medical College & BYL Nair Hospital Mumbai |
Academic degree: | MS (Master Of Surgrey) |
Area of specialization: | I am working in the field of surgery for more than 3 years now, and during this time my focus covered a wide range of areas. My primary work is in general surgery, where I deal with common but important conditions requiring both emergency and elective procedures. Along with that I have good hands-on in minimal access surgery, where small cuts and quicker recovery makes a big diference for patients. Proctology cases like piles, fissure or fistula are also part of my routine practice, as well as treating varicose vein problems.
Apart from this, I also had exposure in super speciality units – in Urology with stone surgeries and prostate cases, in Oncosurgery where complex cancer resections were done, and in Gastroenterology with both upper GI and colorectal work. Shifting between these areas taught me flexibility, that surgery is not just one skill but a bundle of techniques and judgement applied in diferent situations.
I try to keep my approach patient-centered, explaining clearly and being open about risks and expected outcomes. Sometimes its a simple day care procedure, sometimes long complex surgery, but in every case I believe trust and clarity is as important as technical expertise. |
Achievements: | I am always looking at patients well being as the most meaningful achivement in my work. For me its not just about finishing a surgery or writing a prescription, but seeing the patient recover, walk out healthier and feeling secure about their health. Over time I realised that each case is diferent, sometimes even small progress matters a lot. My focus stays on safe outcomes, reducing complications and making sure that patients trust in the care they recieve. |
I am a general surgeon by training but my career took me through multiple layers of exposure that shaped how I look at surgery today. After finishing my MS in General Surgery, I joined Bharatratna Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar Memorial Railway Hospital in Byculla, Mumbai as a Senior Resident. Those 2 years were intense, not just in terms of hours but the kind of variety – I was involved in super-speciality units like Urology, Oncosurgery and Gastroenterology, while at the same time carrying the core work of general surgery. The shift between assisting complex oncological resections one day and managing routine emergencies another really made me understand the depth of surgical care. Later I moved into academics, working as Assistant Professor in TNMC & BYL Nair Hospital in the Department of General Surgery. That role allowed me to handle independent surgical cases but also to teach residents, which was its own kind of responsibility. My clinical focus included laparoscopic procedures, proctology cases such as piles and fissures, and also varicose vein management. I learned that surgery is not only about skill with instruments but also judgment — when to operate, when to hold back, how to balance risks. Day to day, I keep my approach simple: patient safety comes first. Whether it’s minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery or more demanding open procedures, my aim is to make recovery faster and complications fewer. There are moments when I still second-guess if something could be done smoother, but that’s part of staying grounded in a field that keeps evolving. I think my combined exposure to general, super-speciality, and teaching roles lets me see surgical care not as isolated operations but as a long continuum of patient management.
